div style="text-align: justify;"I recently got carried away ombre dying practically everything in my wardrobe.

For those of you who didn't catch my tutorial, check out my instructions below.br /div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"br //divbYou Need:/bbr /- A white tee (mine is from Hamp;M)br /- Purple dye br /- Saltbr /- Bucketbr /- Waterbr /br /div style="text-align: justify;"bHow to:/b/divdiv style="text-align: justify;"1. Dampen your fabric - you want it to be wet but not dripping. This helps it take on the dye evenly.br /2. Open your packet of dye and separate it evenly into a few different containers. /divdiv style="text-align: justify;"3. To start, only put one of the measures of dye into the water, mixing according to the instructions on the packet. This will be the least concentrated in which to do the first immersion. Most dyes recommend using warm water and salt to set the dye. /divdiv style="text-align: justify;"4. Put your tee on a hanger so it hangs evenly and dip it into the dye. The first time you dip it will be the deepest, and you should aim to stop about 15cm from the neckline./divdiv style="text-align: justify;"5. Take the tee out and add another container of dye to the bucket and mix up. Dip the tee again, this time only about 2 thirds of the depth of the first time./divdiv style="text-align: justify;"6. Add the final container of dye. Dip only the bottom few inches of the tee into the dye at its most concentrated. You can even let it sit in the dye for a little while to take on more colour. /divdiv style="text-align: justify;"7. Once you think the bottom of the tee is dark enough, wash it out in a sink./divdiv style="text-align: justify;"8. Leave the tee to dry. Done!/divbr /div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66755335@N05/6543809129/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dipdyetee by apairandaspare, on Flickr"img alt="dipdyetee" height="480px" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7030/6543809129_9d46cb2637_z.jpg" width="640px" //a/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66755335@N05/6548784519/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_0267 by apairandaspare, on Flickr"img alt="DSC_0267" height="428" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6548784519_d5dd89104b_z.jpg" width="640" //a/divbr /On a side note, can we talk for a second about thata href="http://www.becandbridgeblog.com/2011/05/we-are-crushing-on-rachel-rutt-who.html" lilac akubra/a?
