Dip Dye Clothing DIY – Do It Yourself Dip Dye This week we’re sharing some of the blog’s greatest hits! These are some of our most loved posts by you, our amazing readers. “She drips in color” comes to mind whenever I see this trend — it brings a certain happiness to tees, dresses, shorts, shirts… almost anything! Follow these easy steps to create your very own dip dye tee — you can do it with cotton dresses too!! Inspiration: What you need: A tray, 1 measuring cup, salt, Dylon dye of any color (not the machine washable ones), heavy duty cleaning gloves and a basic white tee. Mix a quarter of the Dylon dying powder into the tray with 4 cups of warm water and 4 tablespoons of salt. Place the tee slowly in the color until you see the color running up. Hang to dry for 15 minutes until it’s damp. Take the leftover dye powder and sprinkle onto the tee as much as you like. Hang to dry.

RIT Dye Tutorial It happens to me every year. The second spring hits, I’m standing in front of my closet going, I am so sick of all my clothes, if I see that shirt again I’ll throw up, but I don’t have any money for new stuff, I’M SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING I OWN. You know that feeling? Let’s kill it with instant-wardrobe-transformer (aka RIT dye). to these! And it’s not even hard. Now, there are other kinds of clothing dye out there, but I chose RIT because it’s got simple instructions on the back of the package, it costs about $3 per box, and you can find it almost everywhere in the U.S. I’m gonna show you how to do a basic stovetop dye job. But! OK! You will need: Something to dye: choose a white, off-white, or beige item of clothing made of natural fiber (cotton, wool, silk, linen), a blend of natural fibers (like a cotton/linen blend), nylon, or rayon. So now that we have our materials, let’s dye this elegant-yet-boring purse I found at a garage sale for a dollar! Step One: Fill your pot ¾ full with water.

DIY Bleach Tie Dye Last summer, we were obsessed with shibori indigo tie dying. No, really . . . we just about dyed anything white in sight. So when Free People asked us to include a DIY in their guest blogger series, we knew a new tie dye project was absolutely in order. And as the weather is beginning to warm up, what better time than now to start experimenting with reverse tie dye using bleach! To make a grid-like pattern, fold the shirt like an accordion and bind it between two pieces of wood or other flat shaped objects. Before you start bleaching, make sure you are wearing gloves and working outdoors or in a well ventilated area. The rusty brown color will slowly fade into a beautiful lighter shade as it begins to set. Your reverse bleach tie dye shirt is ready to wear! (top image from here, rest of images by HonestlyWTF)
Ruffle Flower Scarf I took a couple of my favorite projects and combined them into something for me. After all that creating over Christmas for other people, it was fun to make something for myself. Not that I don't enjoy creating for others, of course. I sewed two long strips of white knit fabric together, one on top of the other, using the method from my tiered ruffle skirt tutorial. The flowers are made the same way as the ones from the ruffle flower leggings. Here I am wearing it. I'm debating whether I should make one with bright colors. Check out this post I did for some visuals of how to get the basic scarf.

MODELOS Sin embargo, la realidad de este trabajo no es siempre como nos la presentan. Los sueldos millonarios, el lujo, las fiestas y los grandes viajes están sólo al alcance de un grupo muy reducido de supermodelos (conocidas popularmente como las top models), mientras el resto realiza un trabajo duro, mucho más anónimo y durante un periodo de tiempo más bien corto, ya que el mundo de la imagen "quema" muy rápidamente los rostros que presenta y siempre está ávido de caras nuevas. Naomí Campbell es una de las modelos internacionales que mejor encarna el sueño de la vida de lujo y excesos de las modelos. Esta modelo fue descubierta mientras paseaba por las calles de Londres por el directivo de una importante agencia de modelos, ha viajado por todo el mundo, suele vivir en una habitación del hotel Ritz de Nueva York y se la ha relacionado sentimentalmente con los actores Robert de Niro y Eddie Murphy, con el bajista de U2, Adam Clayton, el boxeador Mike Tyson y el bailaor Joaquín Cortés.
