Tie-Dying

Our annual Easter Parade is coming up and we have to dress the kiddies up. But what do babies wear? We decided to make them an Easter egg. We got onsies and tie-dyed them!

I had never tie-dyed before. But our roommates' girlfriend was here and she told us what to do. After several days of preparing and buying stuff, we were ready to make them.

Andy and Tova (roommates' girlfriend) twisted the onsies and rubber banded them while I got the dye ready.

Andy is especially proud of the green ones because he picked out the color and did all the stuff with the onsies to dye them. He's so funny about it!

Here is the end result. The solid pieces of dyed cloth are sleeves from old undershirts of Andy's. We are going to use them as hats. I would like to show you how they look on the babies, but I don't think I can put their pictures on here.

Andy really pulled through and helped me out a lot with this project. I really appreciated the help!

UPDATE: The onsies looked sooo adorable on the babies. The "hats" worked out great too! Except everyone thought they were jelly beans. Andy was happy to hear that people thought the green onsies that he did looked really nice (not that I wanted to tell him that, he already has a big head after the basketball article!). We had a great parent turnout and the kids really enjoyed it. We had a parade and then a baby carnival including snacks for the adults. It was truly an awesome day!
