### 3. **Tie-Dye Fun: Add Some Color to Your T-Shirt**
Tie-dye is a timeless and fun way to give your old t-shirts a colorful makeover. If you have a plain white or faded shirt lying around, tie-dye can breathe new life into it and turn it into a vibrant, personalized garment.
**What You’ll Need:**
– An old t-shirt
– Fabric dye (available in various colors)
– Rubber bands
– Plastic squeeze bottles or spray bottles
**Steps:**
1. Lay your t-shirt flat and twist or fold it in different ways to create a pattern (you can find various tie-dye techniques online).
2. Secure the twisted or folded t-shirt with rubber bands to keep it in place.
3. Apply the fabric dye to the t-shirt, alternating colors and using a squeeze bottle or spray bottle for precision.
4. Let the t-shirt sit for the amount of time recommended on the fabric dye instructions (usually about 6-8 hours).
5. Rinse the t-shirt under cold water until the water runs clear, then let it dry.
This project will transform your old t-shirt into a bold, unique piece that’s perfect for casual outings or as a fun statement garment. Tie-dyeing is also a great activity to do with kids or friends, making it a great DIY group project.
