To make a stencil, create the design on paper, then trace the design onto an acetate sheet and carefully cut with a craft knife. Alternately, you can use a premade stencil for this project— just make sure it fits the size of your pavers. Select COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint shades Select which COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint shades you want to use for your garden stepping stones.

Supplies needed - Tulip Americana One-Step Tie-Dye Kit - White 100% cotton T-shirt - Iron or heat-setting tool - Thin cloth - Disposable plastic table cover - Sealable plastic bag Instructions Prewash T-shirt and cover work surface Your Americana One-Step Tie-Dye Kit comes with all of the embellishments you need to make your own stars & stripes tie-dye T-shirt and other patriotic tie-dye creations. First you’ll want to tie dye your T-shirt before ironing on crystals or transfers. Wash your shirt (without fabric softener) and leave it damp. Make sure to cover your work surface with a disposable plastic cover before getting started on your tie dye! Pleat T-shirt and secure with rubber bands Lay your damp shirt out on your covered work surface and pleat it horizontally from the bottom hem to the shoulders using the stripes tie-dye technique. Secure your pleated shirt with rubber bands from your kit, evenly spacing your rubber bands about 2 inches apart.

Apply red and turquoise dyes to bound T-shirt Mix your red and turquoise dye with water according to instructions, then apply red dye to every other banded section. Apply turquoise dye to the top of the T-shirt, leaving the fabric crumpled a bit as you apply the dye. Make sure to rotate your bound T-shirt as you add dye so you get all sides. Once you’ve added the dyes, place your shirt into a sealable plastic bag and allow to set for the time recommended. Then remove the rubber bands, rinse and launder according to instructions. Heat set crystals onto T-shirt To heat set crystals onto the turquoise section of your shirt, first make sure your shirt is dry and ironed smooth.

Heat your iron without the steam setting on, then press the iron over the tops of the covered crystals, working in sections. Follow the instructions on your kit for full heat setting details. Check the crystals once they’ve cooled to make sure they are permanently set to the fabric, and add more heat if needed.

Supplies needed - Tulip Tie-Dye Kit - White 100% cotton T-shirt or tank top - White denim shorts - Straw hat - White 100% cotton or rayon skirt - Plastic disposable tablecloth - Paper towels Instructions In most parts of the country, especially at Tulip headquarters, the month of July is HOT, so a pair of denim cutoff shorts is a summer staple.

If you're going to be spending time outdoors in the sun, a hat is never a bad idea! A cute straw hat that's red hot is even better! Since straw is a natural fiber, you can totally dye it. Mix up bottles of red and violet dye from the Rainbow Tie-Dye Kit, pour into plastic ups and use a paintbrush to brush the dyes around the brim of your hat and anywhere else. Give your hat a fun facelift that adds some extra flair to your 4th of July fashion! Stay cool in the summertime with a tie-dye tank top!

Still perfectly patriotic without red added, this ombre tie-dye T-shirt can be made using either the Dip Dye Tie-Dye Technique or by simply squeezing the dye straight from the blue dye bottle onto the top half of your T-shirt. Kimonos are such a versatile wardrobe staple; they look super fab paired with just about any outfit AND they even make cute swimsuit covers for all of the water babies out there spending tons of time by the pool this summer. Give a white cotton kimono some patriotic flavor with red tie dye and either the shibori tie-dye technique or the stripes technique, pleating your fabric and adding dye just down the center (as shown). Maxi skirts are sooooooo comfortable and can be worn just about anywhere for any occasion! Pair a red, white and blue tie-dye maxi skirt with a simple tank top for the perfect comfortable patriotic look whether you're hanging out at a backyard BBQ or heading to the lake with friends.

Make it using the Bullseye Tie-Dye Technique and starting your binding process at the bottom corner of the shirt instead of the center.
American Flag Dog Bandana
Fourth of July always calls for fireworks and fun celebrations with family and friends ... but don't forget to include your furry family members in on the festivities this year! They'll love showing off their own patriotic spirit in stars & stripes style with this pawsitively adorable DIY American Flag Dog Bandana made with Tulip® ColorShot Instant Fabric Color. It's so easy to DIY, you might just want to make one for everyone in the fam - furry and non-furry alike! What you need: - Tulip ColorShot Instant Fabric Color - Red and Blue - White bandana - Freezer paper - Pencil - Craft knife or scissors - Iron - Disposable plastic table cover - Protective piece of plastic (like a garbage bag or section of tablecloth) - Star pattern (if needed) - Painter's tape Cover your work surface with a plastic table cover to protect from overspray. On a piece of freezer paper, either freehand draw or use a star pattern to trace desired number of stars onto unwaxed side of freezer paper. Use a craft knife or scissors to cut out stars. Fold bandana in half diagonally and press with a hot iron to create a crease along the fold. This will be a guideline for your design. Place strips of painter's tape about 1" apart on one side of the fold to mask off stripes. Place freezer paper stars waxy side down on the other half of bandana and use a hot iron to iron in place. This will create a temporary adhesion to the fabric to mask off star shapes from the fabric spray paint. Cover the striped section with a protective piece of plastic (a garbage bag will work, or a section of the tablecloth you are not using). Tape down the plastic along the fold. Spray several light coats of blue ColorShot over the exposed portion of the bandana, spraying directly over the star shapes as well. Note: It's better to spray several light coats versus one heavy coat for best results. Let dry and remove the freezer paper stars. Cover the star section of the bandana with protective plastic and tape down along the fold. Spray several light coats of red spray paint over the exposed fabric in the striped section. Let dry and remove the strips of tape. ColorShot dries flexible and can be washed after 72 hours, but your pet (or your fam) can wear the bandana once it's completely dry! Forget the fireworks ... your dog will definitely be the life of the party in his new patriotic pet bandana!

Americana-Inspired Cut-Off Shorts
My definition of summer is backyard BBQs, lying out by the pool, drinking lemonade, and oh - 4th of July - one of my favorite holidays other than Christmas! So this summer it’s time to skip the boring T-shirt and show your stars and stripes with these super cute and easy to make Americana-inspired cut offs. All you need is Tulip Soft Fabric Paint and you are ready to rock the summer! What you need: - Tulip® Soft® Fabric Paint Kit- Denim shorts- Paintbrushes- Painter's pallette or a plate- Tape- Cardstock cutout of a star shape- Washable marker Start by taping off one side of the shorts. I spaced it just enough to get at least 2 stripes for each color. Next, use the washable marker to trace your star cutout on the opposite side of the shorts. You can create as little or as many stars as you can fit. Make sure to pick a light-colored washable marker so it will wash out easily. Now for my favorite part! Paint each star white, wait for the first coat to dry, then paint a second coat of white onto each star. On the opposite side of the shorts, paint white above the first taped off section. Let it dry and do one more coat. Skip a section and repeat with the white paint. Once the white paint is dry, remove the tape and paint the remaining sections red. Let the shorts dry 72 hours before washing. Americana cut offs are a summer must-have !
