DIY Tye Dye

We started with rubber bands around our t-shirts for a bulls eye look. This can be done by grabbing the middle of your t-shirt of choice and pulling it straight up. Start from that point working yourself toward the bottom places rubber bands approximately every inch. It's okay if one ends up a little further apart than the others. 

We then drenched each rubber band off section with a color dye of choice. If there's an open place in the section your working on spray dye in there too. Even squeeze the t-shirt from time to time letting the dye soak in. If you don't get enough on there you are going to end up with more white spots than colored. Which is okay but if you want a shirt full of color then work to make sure you drench each section in the color of choice. 

The girls and I made a shirt each which means three shirts in all were made.

We used a SEI Tumble Dye Neon kit from Hobby Lobby to make these tye dye t-shirts on one of our Fun Fridays this summer. 

From there we followed the instructions provided in the the dye kit. Which went a little something like the shirts hung to dry and then I washed as normal.

Rock Painting

Fridays at The Murphy Lodge this summer consist of "fun friday". On these days we tried to come up with something fun of course. In honor of that I thought it would be fun to share on the blog today since it's Friday, "fun friday".

To twist things up a little, the rock painting, was actually done a Monday. Monday's were our Make Something Monday. One particular Monday early in the summer my youngest and I got on her John Deer riding looking for rocks. This nearly turned into a day long project for us. As you can tell below some took breaks in betweens painting. 

I fumbled through the cup of rocks we collect till I found what felt like perfect ones to me. I used the picture in the magazine shown for my color inspiration. 

She was more focused on painting the big rock she found in our back yard. 

And the number reason why of all times I don't get me nails done often. The Saturday before I went with a friend to get our nails done. It was a fun treat for just us mommas. Quickly turning into a painty mess. 

Our day ended with a rainy thunderstorm. 

Can you tell what her rock is?

Can you see my color pattern on my rocks goes with the magazine page?
