40 Cool Tie Dye Projects to Add Color to Your Summer

Sharpie Tie-Dye T-Shirt

This is an easy t-shirt project that is perfect if you have little ones that want to try their hand at tie dying. You need a white shirt, some clips to make the design and a few Sharpie brand markers. You can use however many colors you want and make any design you choose, which is what makes this t-shirt so great. There are no rules to follow with regards to design and tie dying so use your creativity and make a shirt that is perfect for summer.

Rainbow Tie-Dye Shorts

Imagine wearing these cool colorful shorts this summer! You just need an old pair of shorts or pants that you can cut off and they don't necessarily have to be white. Use those old faded jeans for this project. Once you have finished with your coloring, you can add embellishments to really make them stand out. There is no specific design technique to these. You use whatever colors you want and create whatever design you prefer. They are great for wearing to the beach or pool and are sure to spark attention with their bold colors.

Ombre Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses have certainly come back into style (they were actually really popular back during the original tie-dye days). You can create a beautiful Ombre designed maxi dress in just a couple of hours from start to finish. You can purchase a dye kit or use whatever dyes you may have on hand. The gist is to gradually increase the color hue so that it looks lighter on bottom and darker on top. This is a great and very popular look and this maxi dress is really easy to create.

Wave Design Tank

Create a lovely wave design on a tank top or t-shirt and this is a great project to do in any color you want. If you want a tank but don't have one, just use an old plain white t-shirt and cut out the sleeves and the top just a bit. This is a relatively easy and quick project and one that will give you the perfect top for wearing out this summer. You can do several of these with different colors and have a great new summer wardrobe, plus they go with any shorts, pants or even skirts.

Tie Dye Mary Janes

You can create adorable tie dyed shoes with just a few supplies and a couple of hours of time. Note that you will need 100% cotton shoes to do this project. The gist of the project is to dye the shoes and then create an adorable star or other shape in another tie dyed color that contrasts with the color of the shoes. These are great summer shoes and you can do several pairs in different colors. You could also use canvas tennis shoes for this one if you prefer them over the Mary Janes.

Tie Dye Hair Extensions

Imagine having loads of color for summer – in your hair! You can easily create colorful hair extensions using a tie dye method and the great part is that you don't actually have to wear your color all the time. You can also do this with your natural hair if you do want to wear color all the time so the choice is absolutely up to you. You can purchase clip-in extensions at most beauty supply stores if you prefer not to permanently color your real hair. Either way, these are a great way to show off a little color this summer.

Tie Dye Lunch Bags

If you are heading out to the beach (or if you just want something fun for your lunch at work) you can make these really neat tie dyed lunch bags. There are different ways to create a stunning lunch bag and you can choose from any of them. You will need to purchase (if you don't already have one) a reusable lunch tote and then just choose the colors and design that you want. These are great for kids to take to school and they can help you to pick out the colors and design that they want.

Embroidery Hoop Art

Create a work of art for any wall with a few embroidery hoops and an easy tie dye method. You can do these in any color and use hoops of different sizes to create beautiful wall décor for any room in your home. Do them in different shades of the same color or multiple colors. These are also great for Holiday decorating. Simply do hues of greens and reds and add to your Christmas décor. You can get embroidery hoops at a craft store or be on the lookout at yard sales – you can normally pick them up for less than a buck.

Tie Dye Summer Tote

Really hit the beach or pool in style when you carry this easy to make tote with a great tie dye pattern. For this project, you need fabric and some batting for the quilted part of the tote. You make the entire tote from scratch so a bit of sewing is required. You could also simply tie dye an old tote that you already have on hand but it's much better to make the entire thing, don't you think? This is a really easy project even for beginning sewers and will give you such a colorful tote to carry around this summer.

Tie Dye Bedding

Girls will absolutely adore their tie dyed bedding set that you can create easily. You can do everything from the sheets and pillow cases to the comforter and even the window coverings if you want. Let your daughter choose her own color scheme and then just create the look from white bedding with the dyes of your choice. This really is an easy project and one that you can complete in less than a day. The colors will change the look of the room dramatically and for a lot cheaper than you would pay to buy tie dyed bedding.
