eDiot-how did you get the tie-dye effect with the lighter areas? Did you knot the fabric before staining?

These are amazing, I never even thought of tea staining... I've got an oldish crocheted shrug that I might just try this to...

sweet thread!
I found this recently and was wondering how it was done!

It's just tie-dye

You can hold it up from the collar/neck hole

Wrap a strip of saran wrap around the neck hole, to the width of the 'white area' you want
and tie the top and bottom of this strip down


You can either dunk the whole thing in tea
or just the neck and then the rest of the body

thanks that's a great idea !!!!!!

i recently bought a transparent sort of caramel sweatshirt - very delicate material and you can see my t*ts if i wear it with nothing under !
NO WAY some perverse watch my t*ts ... and the white shirt option is kind of boring me right now ... I thought some sort of ivory/écru/skin colours would be good ...

I just did find a solution !!!

i just have to go to H&M to buy some white tank top

great tips everyone ...

the process isn't longer than 1-2hrs right ?
ie i can start it tomorrow morning for tomorrow evening ?!

what sort of tea do you consider good ? i'm not a tea drinker ...
is it better green or black tea ?

my sweatshirt is this colour
