DIY: Ombre Shorts


Im in love with the dip dye /ombre trend from hair to clothing, so I decided to dip dye some old shorts. All you need is water, bleach, a pair of gloves, and a bucket. 

Step one: Put on gloves, pour two-thirds bleach and one third water into the bucket
Step two: Dip the shorts into the solution until where you want your dye to start/stop
Step three: Leave in for 15 minutes, or until color starts to change
Step four: Ring out the bleach and rinse with cold water
Step five: Wash shorts in washing machine then put them in the drier   

Note: You may have to repeat the process to achieve your desired gradient effect (I did it twice)

Heres the final product:
