DIY TIIME!!!! Ombre Denim!!!!

I've been keeping tabs on DIY stuff for as far as i can remember, so I thought of blogging about it, DIY is not hard, its easy if you know what you need, and of-course if you have the patience, to prove this fact, I will show you how to make your own dyed Ombre jeans, all u need is a pair of jeans you feel like trowing away, and just dye it, first you need fabric dye. 


You can find fabric dye online or at any stationary shops or textile shop around you, what I think is good is DYLON fabric dye. 

I bought this one online. In Malaysia of course and the price is affordable .

Now, cut your jeans to the length that you like, the shorter the better. haha so it should look something like this

So, the next thing you do is, rinse your jeans thoroughly with water, plain water people, you don't have to waste your energy on warm water, save it up for what comes next

STEP2-GET YOUR DYE READY

What you want to do first is the lighter shade of the dye on your jeans, then we continue to the darker shade, so now, you can use your energy and make 2 gallons of hot water and mix it with 1/3 of the dye you have, if you have a darker shade denim, you need to use less water so the dye goes well and cover the dark shade, if your shade is light you can stick with 2 gallons, leave it for 10 minutes. so it should be like this

WARNING! WEAR GLOVES!!!!

Please excuse the bad quality pictures, its just some minor glitches in my connectivity, anyway on to 

                                                     STEP3- the darker shade of your dye!!!

       So now, ring out the dye from your jeans, make sure your gloves are not touching the un-dyed parts unless its clean, now after you've done that, add another 1/3 of your die into the dye you have just mixed with hot water earlier, and let it settle for 5 minutes making the dye darker ( let me remind you that you can pick whichever color you want and just follow the directions I gave you or you can just follow what you feel is right, just have the concept in your head)  repeat the step by adding another 1/3 of your dye (after the 5 minutes). the last step is to slightly dip the portion of your jeans that you want darker for five minutes and your done!!!

                                                   


                                          The very last step!!!!! hang it out to dry!!!!!!!!!
