In one last effort to procrastinate before I start the kids costumes, let me share this fun project with you.
I saw these Tie-dye pumpkin shirts in the Family Fun Magazine Halloween edition and fell in love.
Arizona weather for you: Shorts, t-shirts, and sandals on October 19.
They were very easy to make and very fast with the hands-on tasks(Pre-washing the shirts and letting the dye soak in took some time)
Here is the Family Fun Magazine example.
I will link up to there directions, but here are the simple steps.
1. Get a white t-shirt and some fabric dye.
2. For one big pumpkin, gather the shirt in the middle and put one rubberband to make the white outline.
3. Dye your shirt according to the package instructions. I used dye in a bottle, and it said to let it sit for 6-8 hours.
4. Use Fabric paint or markers to draw in pumpkin faces.
My kids really loved their shirts. I loved that I got the white shirts from the dollar store! I probably spent about $3 on each completed shirt. That includes the shirt, dye, and a fabric marker.
Here is the family fun tutorial including pictures: http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/pumpkin-shirt-674600/
