I was so excited to receive this awesome tie-dye kit from Tulip:
I was even more excited to find all of this goodness inside:
-Gloves to protect my hands
-Surface cover to protect my floor
-Rubber bands
-Bottles with dye powder
-Packets of dye powder.
I decided to try an unconventional technique that we shall call "Sprinkling" going forward. I promise I'll show you why... after the jump!
Step 1:
Start with a clean, dry, white tank top.
Step 2:
Wearing your gloves, mix a small amount of blue tulip dye powder with water in a mixing bowl.
Step 3:
Dip the bottom of the tank top into the dye. Lay out flat on the surface cover.
Step 4:
Place some dye powder in your dry palm.
Step 5:
Sprinkle the blue powder over the wet, dyed area. Let dry.
Check out this dreamy texture:
I love how spontaneous and unexpected the results were.
A big thank you to Tulip for sending me this fantastic tie-dye kit and inspiring this shirt! All of their products can be found at your local Michael's. You can also connect on twitter @ilovetocreate, facebook, and pinterest!

Amazing! They don't have micheals in the netherlands :(
It almost looks like a watercolor painting - very cool effect!!
What a gorgeous color! It looks expensive!
Very fancy! It does look expensive. I would totally wear it!
That looks great!
I like the technique and results. It doesn't look like traditional tie dye either - bonus.
I love seeing new techniques for dying. Your shirt turned out amazingly.
