Girls' Camp!

LJR says -

We leave for Girls' Camp tomorrow morning!!! I am so excited! We are going up to the Heber Valley Camp! Our theme this year is, Back to The Future! (Not Like the movie...) Each day is gonna have a theme like 'The 1920's' or 'The 1970's'. For one of the days we tie dyed shirts to wear up there! They are so cool, and very easy! All you need is a white shirt, permanent markers, and rubbing alcohol!

Sorry these pics were just taken on my phone so they're not the best.

First you draw any design you want, on a white T-shirt, with permanent markers



Then you put your rubbing alcohol in a bowl - use a glass bowl or something disposable like a Styrofoam cooler, because when we did mine, we stained our bowl...


You just need enough to cover the whole shirt, so just soak your shirt and ring it out.


You will need to hang it outside to completely dry out the alcohol, then you dry it in the dryer for 15 minutes!

Ta-Da!! :)

Your shirt is much better than your punctuation.
Sigh.
It's "girls' camp." It's plural possessive, unless you're the only girl going, which wouldn't be a whole lot of fun.
Thanks for the tie dye lesson.
