Whoa, this is such a cool idea for reusing dye that would totally just get scooped in the garbage! So cool!

What a great idea to create a tie-dye shirt or even shorts and cleaning up mess at the same time and creating something so unique. I think I will just wipe up and see what I get instead of finding places to wipe die. This is super easy and I like the video but it sure is skipping a lot and it is hard to watch like that.At least you still have the written directions if you need it. I will try this next time I tie dye.
