How To Ice Tie Dye Biker Shorts

Whether you’re heading out for a run or heading to bed, do it in style with tie dye! Artist Steffi Lynn will show you how to ice tie dye biker shorts and a matching tee using the Tulip Ice Dye One-Step Tie-Dye Kit. It’s such an easy way to customize your workout gear and loungewear with totally cool tie-dye effects! What you need: - Tulip Ice Dye One-Step Tie-Dye Kit or kit of choice - White 100% cotton biker shorts - White 100% cotton T-shirt - Ice - Plastic bucket or bin - Grate or rack (if not using Ice Dye Kit) - Sealable plastic bag Before we get started on learning how to ice tie dye a biker shorts set, make sure your shorts and T-shirt have been washed without fabric softener. You can leave them damp if you’ll be tie dyeing your projects right after washing, otherwise simply dampen and wring out before you get started. Next decide which tie-dye techniques you want to use to create your tie-dye patterns. Steffi Lynn chose to freestyle it and scrunch and bind her shorts and T-shirt in small knots using the rubber bands included in her kit. Any technique you decide to try will be fun – there’s no wrong way to tie dye! For her tie-dye projects, Steffi Lynn decided to try two different options. For one of her garments, she chose to follow the true ice tie-dye technique: first place your bound garment on the ice-dye grate and set over the top of a bucket or bin to catch runoff as the ice melts. Sprinkle dry dye powders over your project to your liking, then cover it completely with ice and let the ice melt entirely over time. As it melts, it will transfer the dye onto the fabric to create cool watercolor effects! The other tie-dye method Steffi Lynn decided to experiment with was the traditional One-Step method of mixing each dye with water according to instructions, then squeezing the dyes onto her bound garment. You can still place it on the grate and over a bucket as you apply dyes to help keep the dyes from pooling under your project and getting dye where you might not want it. After applying the dyes, place in a sealable plastic bag and let set 6 to 8 hours or longer. No matter which option you choose, after the dye sets, rinse your garments under running water, removing the rubber bands. Then wash and dry according to instructions. Once dry, your super cool tie-dye biker shorts set is ready to wear for a run, a yoga session or lounging with a fun flick. Whatever you’re up to, you’ll be doing it in your own colorful style!

DIY Custom Painted Yoga Mat

Nama-slay your yoga practice with a mat that's so much more! A custom-painted yoga mat is a fun way to get artistic for an afternoon, and a fantastic way to express your own personal style every time you do your yoga workout. Okay, you might be thinking, but where am I going to find a paint that's flexible enough to stay on my mat between workouts and rolling it up and carting it around? We're so glad you asked! Tulip Fabric Paint dries permanent, soft (hence the name) and flexible, so it's perfect for keeping up with your practice. Read on to see our creative flow, then get inspired to start your own! What you need: - Tulip Fabric Paint - desired colors - Yoga mat - Paintbrushes - Paper towels - Painter's tape - Ruler - Paper plate or paint palette First choose your color scheme! You can go with a calming palette or one that's vibrant and energetic - get creative and have fun with it! Lay your yoga mat out flat on your work surface and measure 7 inches up from the bottom (or more or less depending on how much surface area you want to paint). Mask off the section with painter's tape. For our mat, we painted abstract line patterns within the paint space. The beauty of this is there is no wrong way to do it, it doesn't have to be perfect and it looks awesome! You might have your own motif in mind, and that's okay too! Mix up your colors, patterns and line direction for interesting results! When you've filled in all of your lines, take the handle end of your paintbrush and dip in black or another color of paint and create dot patterns. Before the paint completely dries, remove the strip of tape and let the paint dry. Now it's time to put your newly painted mat to work!

DIY Splatter Paint Weights

If you've been looking for something to get pumped about, you've come to the right place! We're talking literally AND figuratively here. Liven up your workout routine with a little extra color that'll help your mood to stay motivated go a long way; and before you hop online to search high and low for a fancy set of weights, step away from opening a new browser and stay right here to finish reading this post. Because we'll show you that all you need are Tulip Soft Fabric Paints in your favorite shades and a paintbrush you probably already have in a drawer somewhere to create a set of weights that are as artistic as they are useful. What you need: - Tulip Soft Fabric Paint - desired colors - Neoprene weights - Paintbrush - Disposable plastic cups - Plastic surface cover First choose a Soft Paint color palette that makes you want to pump some iron. Or just one that you think is pretty. Squeeze some of each paint color into disposable cups or onto a paint palette (or paper plate - whatever you have at home). You might want to slightly water them down for easier splattering - test first on scrap paper or your protective plastic cover. Throw down your first paint color. Literally. Scoop it up with your paintbrush and throw it down over each weight to create splatter effects. Repeat the process with each paint color until you are happy with how the weights look. Let them dry completely, then flip over and repeat on the underside if needed. Is it just us, or is the splattered area around the weights just as cool as the weights?! Maybe you want to try placing a canvas underneath so you can capture all of the paint splatter for a cool art piece as well! Get pumped! Your weights are ready for action! If you work out with friends or family, they make a great personalized fitness-themed gift as well.
