Tie Dye Shirts
Hey guys!(:
 
I love tie dye shirts! They're just so much fun to make and wear!
 
Making it ;;
Choose a t-shirt that is at least 80% cotton, rayon, linen or hemp if you want bright colors in your tie-dye design. Fabric mixes containing 50% cotton and polyester don't take the dyes as well and will create pastel shades. Avoid 100% polyester or nylon.
 
Wash and dry your garment prior to dying to remove any commercial sizing that has been added during manufacturing.
 
The principle of tie-dying is that by folding the fabric, tying it with string or using rubber bands the dye cannot reach the fabric evenly -- creating color graduations and designs.
 
A "scrunch" pattern is one of the easiest techniques but is perhaps better suited for fabric than a finished garment. Simply crumple the t-shirt into a flat disk and secure with rubber bands.
 
For circular designs, grab the cloth where you want the center of the design. Lift the t-shirt and slide a rubber band down the tube of fabric that you've just created. Twist rubber band several times to hold in place. The length of the tube determines the size of the circle. Use rubber bands at intervals along this tube to create more circular designs within the larger circle.
 
To make a spiral, lay the t-shirt on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles. Make a small pleat where you want the center of the spiral to appear. Grab the center of the pleat with a clothespin and twist upwards, no more than two inches higher than your working surface. Tie the end of your design with string and leave the clothespin in place as you dye.
 
Pre-soak the garment in washing soda for 15-60 minutes.
 
Work on a flat surface, simply spray or squirt the dye in desired areas.
 
The key to a lasting design is to keep the garment wet while the dye has a chance to react and set. Once you have finished dying, place the garment in a sealed plastic bag for up to 24 hours.
 
Wash newly dyed items separately three times to ensure that you've removed all unactivated dye. Use laundry detergent and wash first in cold, then warm and. finally, hot water. Wash your tie-dyed t-shirts separately the first few times to ensure that they are 100% color-fast before washing them with your regular wash.
 
Tips ;;
Wear rubber gloves when dying. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that it takes about a week to get rid of fabric dye from your hands if you don't use gloves.
Create designs on the front and back of your garment separately. The two layers of material are too thick to create an effective design using a single rubber band or piece of string.
The tighter the rubber band or piece of string around the fabric, the crisper the lines of your design. Experiment with looser tying to create softer graduations of color.
 
Hope this helped.<3

Making Friends With The New Girl
Hello Loves!
A little tipperoo before I go to sleep:)
 
Okay so recently I got a new girl at my school, named Elizabeth. She's from our rival school so she thought no one would like her. Well, you may be n the same situation! Here's some ways to make sure she doesn't get left out!
 
O1: GET A COPY OF HER SCHEDULE
We always get these handed out, but don't be afraid to ask your guidance counselor for one! Maybe you have some classes in common that you can walk with her too!
 
O2: YOUR FRiENDS
Point out to your group of friends that you have a new girl! Maybe you can invite her to play a sport or hangout during study halls!
 
O3: RESEARCH
Find out! I bet you may know some people from her old school, so ask them! What kind of music does she like? What makes her laugh?
 
O4: iNViTE HER
Are you or one of your friends having a party soon? Invite her! It may be an easier way for her to make friends!
 
O5: DANCES
Make sure she is aware of them! Ask if she's going and maybe even if she wants to hangout before/after. If she can't hangout, just simply ask what she is wearing! it makes a person feel important. At the dance, dance with her! Take group pictures with her! (go to my profile and look at my icon. The new girl Elizabeth is right in the front!)
 
Hope this helps!

Makeup For Different Eye Colors

Makeup For Different Eye Colors
hey guys!(:
 
Makeup for Brown Eyes;;
 
O1. Deep Brown Eyes: If your eyes are dark brown, medium to dark shades of eye shadow will work for you. Try plum, forest green or charcoal gray. Check out the flecks of lighter color in your eyes and uses those hues to select your eyeliner color.
 
O2. Medium Bron Eyes: You truly can wear almost any color of eye makeup if you have medium brown eyes. A purple or green eye shadow palette can work equally well for daytime. Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze for evening.
 
O3. Light Brown Eyes: Avoid black eyeliner, if you have light brown eyes, and use dark brown or other colors instead. Apply a neutral shade of shadow on the lid, a darker hue of the same color in the crease, then line your eyes in gold or green to reflect the flecks of color in your iris.
 
Makeup For Blue Eyes;;
 
O1. Eye shadow: All the colors that would make your blue eyes pop White shadow, Grey shades,Khaki colored shadow, Chocolate brown, Golds, Bronzes, Camel shadow.
 
O2. Mascara: Dark blue mascara looks fabulous on blue eyes, especially when paired with smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky eye makeup using gray, dark blue or purple shadow.
 
O3. Lips: Emphasize your gorgeous blue eyes, whether they are pale blue or deep sapphire, by toning down your lip color. Pick a matte lipstick in a peachy brown shade. For your cheeks, add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue.
 
Makeup For Green Eyes;;
 
O1. Play With Purples: Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that is red-based. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges and a lighter shader of purple toward the inner eye. If your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones, as well as blue eye shadow and eyeliner.
 
O2. Avoid Silver: If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices.
 
O3. Skip the black eyeliner: Everyone loves black eyeliner but it isn't the best choice for green-eyed gals. Use chocolate brown liner for everyday. To spice things up, try gray or gold. To open up your eyes and make them pop, add a little white eyeliner to the inner corner near the tear duct.
 
Hope this helped.<3
