I have seen tie-dye done with sharpies and rubbing alcohol all over the place and I thought I would try it out! It was soooo easy and fun. My project was a little time consuming but depending on how much color you are adding it could take you less time.
All you need is your piece of clothing, sharpies and rubbing alcohol. I used a pair of my old white running shorts that I didn't really wear anymore but you can use anything as long as the sharpies will show up!
First, you need to draw your design. I just used dots instead of coloring it all in to save ink. Once you add the rubbing alcohol it will bleed (so much) so you don't need to color it all the way in. I almost didn't go any further after this step because I liked how it looked with all the dots, but I decided to just go for it and I was really happy with how it turned out!
Once you have it all colored, put your rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and spray it over your color. It takes a second for it to start to bleed and the more you spray the more it will bleed, so start out slow!
Once you are happy with the outcome throw it in the dryer on high heat to set the color and enjoy!
