Tie-dyeing may have experienced a brief comeback earlier this year, and the Photo Fabric Dye Kit is now here to take its place. More for hipsters than hippies, it essentially recreates vintage, Instagram-like graphics right onto t-shirts. A DIY project, the process is very similar to both tie-dying and screen printing.
Of course, a person would have to be more than just a photographer at heart since the Photo Fabric Dye Kit uses the negatives from film cameras as a basis for the images. Considering that lomography and other popular film cameras are totally in style right now, it won't take much for the Photo Fabric Dye Kit to find its niche among creative individuals.
