Tie Dyed Girl Scout Bags

I LOVE tye dyed Girl Scout bags. The girls can be so expressive with their own messages and colors and imaginations. A huge thanks to Oriental Trading for sending me the supplies to make and share this craft. It is day FIVE of Craft Lightning and I am over the moon excited about all of the amazing things that have been shared this week. Being a guest co-host with 30 Minute Crafts and Country Chic Cottage is such an honor. They definitely picked me for the right series because I LOVE GIRL SCOUTS!

To create these bags, you will need a few things…

Tote Bags
Tulip One Step Tie Dye (Includes rubber bands and gloves)
Permanent Marker (Tombow MonoTwin)
Running Water
Ziploc Bags
Pony Beads and Ribbon If Desired

Here are your simple directions…

Write you message on your bag with a permanent marker.
Get your bag soaking wet the rubber band it up.
Apply dye (water added to bottle then shaken).
Let bag sit in ziploc bag for 8 hours.
Remove rubber bands and rinse.
Add ribbon or pony beads on string to handle if desired.

Ta Da!!! I love the pony beads as an additional decoration to match the colors of the dyes.
