Dyeing Over Purple – Part 3

June 20, 2012

After I had fun bleaching these shorts (note the sarcasm), I decided to dye these bad boys a lovely shade of purple.  If you haven’t dyed something before, it’s pretty easy to do.

Some tips to consider: Follow all the directions on the package…adding a cup of salt, as stated on the box, can make the difference.  Stir, stir, stir that garment.  And if you’re a bit wary about taking the risk on a favorite piece of clothing, pick up some cheapies at the thrift store to try it out on first.

Wouldn’t you say these purple shorts turned out very cute?!  But I do have to show you, since I mentioned the tragic error yesterday…becareful when bleaching your clothes!!!  Note the hole on the zipper part…then please stop looking at my crotch.  Thanks.

Here’s a little recap showing the journey these shorts have taken thus far.  One more diy to go!  I’ll give you a hit…it’s something I pinned here!  Can you guess what it is??
