Tie Dye T-Shirts

By: Sara
Last week a team came to work at the orphanage and one of the girls knew how to tie dye shirts. We decided to do a project with the big girls and they had so much fun.  It was neat to see their personalities and their choices on designs.

Gaby and Maribel were so focused on getting the colors just right

Anna liked the striped shirt idea and started dying right away

Gaby wanted all of her colors to be strong and was meticulous in putting on the dye.

Maria didn’t want to do a traditional design, she really wanted a heart t-shirt

The whole process was a little bit chaotic

But it turned out well. After letting the shirts cure for a couple of days we opened them up…

Rosa’s

For Grace and Martin (two of the little ones who had surgery on their hands)

Ana’s Stripes

Maribel’s

Marcia’s

This is Gaby's

I even got to make one

It was a really fun project to do with the kids. After we got the t-shirts washed and dried the girls wore them for the next few days. They were so proud of their handiwork.
