D.I.Y. Ombre Shorts

June 14, 2012

My dear friend, Yuki, and I have been planning to experiment on denim and we finally did it last Saturday! We wanted to create our very own Ombre pieces!

We began by putting metal rods through the shorts we wanted to ombre

We then submerged one pair of shorts in dye and let it sit for a while.

This is what came out. We actually used pink dye but it ended up becoming purple somehow. It still looks adorable though.

The other pair of shorts was submerged in bleach.

this is what came out of it. The effect of the bleach on denim is awesome.

We then played around with blue dye

and this is what we came up with. The ombre effect is too cute!

This is Yuki’s sweet Cat, Holly. She is so movable so the photo ended up blurred.

I had a blast experimenting and I can’t wait to ombre more of my boring pieces of clothing!
