At summer parents can take the opportunity to do with their offspring what during the rest of the year they cannot do, due to lack of time, due to the weather ... Tshirts that fade in bleach or those that are dyed in colors.

It would be very entertaining teach children these tricks that in an original way will teach them to recycle Old garments or garments with little color due to the passage of time. We are going to show you how to fade these shirts in a style hippie where the children will have a great time. 

The first thing we have to do is take those Tshirts worn out that we all have in the closet to give them a new style. To dye them we will need tints for clothes, which we will find in dry cleaners at a very low price and of the colors in which we want to dye them, bleach ,gums elastic bands and a bucket to carry out the dyeing process.

Ideally, dye shirts that are already White or light in color to be able to use dark tints that stay better on light bases. If what we have are dark shirts, we can first bleach it with bleach and water, leaving it to soak for a few hours. To dye them they have to be dry.

To proceed to dyeing them, first will roll up the shirt and we will make different ties along it, using the elastic bands or making knots with the same shirt. How many more knots are made more circles they will come out and the greater the effect will be hippie. When they are knotted, it will be put in the bucket with warm water and a little dye of the color we have chosen. He will put the shirt inside covering it completely and we will leave it there a few two hours.

When removing it, rinse it with lots of water cleaning until the color stops coming out, we will remove the knots and hang it outdoors, once it is dry it is ready to put it on!.
