Show off your beautiful shorts made
just for you by you!
To make these shorts:
1. Fill a bucket with hot water,
leaving enough room to hold the shorts, and place it in the
trash bag so that any spills will be contained.
2. Rinse your shorts in the sink. Make
sure they are thoroughly soaked to allow the dye to absorb
properly. Then add 1/3 cup of dye into the bucket with your
measuring cup – adding the dye in thirds creates the ombre fade
on the shorts. Completely submerge your shorts in the dye for 10
minutes to create the lightest shade on your shorts.
3. Remove the
shorts from the bucket, and rinse them in the sink until the
water from them runs clear. Add the second 1/3 of the dye to
the bucket then re-submerge the shorts into the dye halfway
for 7 minutes to create the mid-shade color.
4. Repeat Step 2,
but only put the very tips of the shorts in the dye for
another 7 to 10 minutes to get the darkest shade of your
shorts. Rinse them thoroughly. Let them air dry outside, or
throw them in your dryer. The shorts will dry lighter than
they look when wet.
