DIY Bleach Tie Dye Last summer, we were obsessed with shibori indigo tie dying. No, really . . . we just about dyed anything white in sight. So when Free People asked us to include a DIY in their guest blogger series, we knew a new tie dye project was absolutely in order. To make a grid-like pattern, fold the shirt like an accordion and bind it between two pieces of wood or other flat shaped objects. Before you start bleaching, make sure you are wearing gloves and working outdoors or in a well ventilated area. The rusty brown color will slowly fade into a beautiful lighter shade as it begins to set. Your reverse bleach tie dye shirt is ready to wear! (top image from here, rest of images by HonestlyWTF)

Glowing jar project - varázslat a lakásban (EN/HU) Thank you for being here and looking at this old-old tutorial of mine! A lot has changed on this blog lately, why don't you go check it out after you learnt how to make your own jars? For one, the blog is now written in english/hungarian entirely, can't wait to see what you think about other things on from panka with love! Since the above image is one of my 'most famous' photos, I've got a lot of requests on how I made these glowing jars. A fölső kép miatt (ami az egyik legismertebb képem) elég sok kérést kapok, hogy csináljak egy lépésről lépésre segítséget a befőttes üvegeimhez. In general about this project / Általában erről a projectről: I have a lot of mason jars. Rengeteg befőttes üvegem van, kicsik is, nagyok is, de úgy látom, hogy a nagyobbak jobb választásnak tűnnek ehhez a projecthez: azok aztán nagyon szépek és mágikusak lesznek! Ingredients / Hozzávalók: Mason jar / Befőttes üvegGlowing paint / Világító festék (a linket eltávolítottam)Paintbrush / EcsetSome water / Kis víz 1.
