Today, Liza, Nick, and I went over to my Dad's house to make some tie-dyed shirts! Dad's tie-dye is the best you can find, so we thought it would be a lot of fun to learn how to make some of our own! We each took turns first tying and then dying the shirts (after learning how it is done, of course). It was a lot of fun, and I hope that the shirts turn out well!
Nick decided to make a black spider shirt:
 |
| Finishing up the shirt with rubber bands. |
 |
| Adding color to one side of the shirt, the other will be black. |
Liza had three shirts to make, but it all went well!

I decided to do a nice green and blue ribbed shirt:
 |
| Checking the edge to keep it straight. |
 |
| Tying my ribbed shirt. |

Tie-dying is so cool and very pretty! We got to see Dad work on a bunch of different shirts as samples throughout the day! Overall, it was really fun!
