Tie-dye is a quintessential summer activity, and the multi-color trend is ultra-popular right now. But before you reach for the white shirts and messy bottles of dye, consider a reverse tie-dye project instead. Reverse tie-dye is exactly what it sounds like: Instead of adding color to white fabric (and staining your hands in the process), you're removing the dye from a solid-color piece of clothing with a mixture of bleach and water.
We like this method because you can choose an article of clothing in a color you know you like and turn that into a tie-dye creation by removing the color in some areas. No more wondering what color the dye powder is actually going to be, and no messy dye drips! And the process couldn't be easier—throw on some protective gloves, rubber band a colored shirt, and start spraying!
