once again, i volunteered to tie-dye the t-shirts for the girls' classes for field day. (am i the only one that ever volunteers for this, or just lucky enough to be picked every time??)
it's really not that hard - it just takes some time. first you boil the water (3 gallons for little sister and 4 gallons for big sister), mix it with dye & salt, add the shirts and let them sit for 1 hour, rinse and remove the ties, then wash and dry the shirts. as time consuming as this sounds, at least the students helped by tying their own shirts. i think that would be very time-consuming for just one person...
by the second batch, i enlisted some help to remove the rubber bands. it was neat to see how they all turned out. big sister's are green and little's are teal. can't wait till friday to see everyone in matching shirts!
