DIY Tie-Dye Denim

These Homemade Tie-Dye Jeans Cost Next to Nothing to Make

Turn a pair of unworn pants into a new pair of sparkling tie-dye jeans with this simple at home tutorial. All you need is a few bottles of colorful dye and a pair of light-colored denim to get yourself a new look that is super colorful for fall.

If you have a pair of unworn white jeans laying around your home now is the time to get them out and upcycle them into a fresh pair of pants. All you need is a couple colors of fabric dye and a foam brush. Begin by picking three vibrant colors that will match well together -- like pink, purple and blue. Dip your foam brush into the fabric dye and create sporadic splashes in each of the colors all over the pants. Go back in with a clean dampened brush and slightly blend the colors together for a seamless gradient look.
