DIY TRY; Tye Dye Denim

Patterned denim is all the rage right now from florals to Ikat and even tie dye.

The Paige Tumble Tie Dye as seen on Olivia Polermo, Elle MacPherson and more celebs were the inspiration for this DIY TRY. I used the instructions over at SwellMayde. If you are into DIY and fashion you should SO check out her blog.

One thing I have noticed about these jeans is that the pattern is not always the same so it is easier to just go for it and do it yourself without having to try to mimic the design perfectly. That said I wish I had used more of the purple and rust colours to cover the white of my jeans.

I am actually considering revisiting this diy and adding more large splotches of colour instead of swipes.

For Canadian DIYers you can get RIT at Zellers and I found some dye at the Dollar store too.

I also need to cut these jeans off and hem them at an ankle length to make them a bit more wearable!

I did this DIY TRY with my 3 year old daughter, who actually did a great job on her own jeans. She wore a smock and was heavily supervised. When she maxed out and the attention span waned I put a few finishing touches on her jeans.

I didn’t add the rust colour to hers, I wanted them to be more little girl as opposed to trendy denim and I really like how they turned out.

Don’t expect alot, if any, more photos of my kids. I try to keep them separate from this blog. That is why I don’t share my instagram as I only have one feed and there are WAY too many precious moments of my kids on there to make it public.

I am sure at some moment you have done tie dye – but would you tie dye jeans?
