Best stain 'remover' ever! - Tie dye day @ Camp Cornell

Do your kids trash their clothes? Mine do! My kids are able to trash their clothes in a record few seconds. I have no idea how they do it! Sometimes it's a super bummer because it's a really cute fitting top or something brand new. Most stains don't come off especially the really bad ones...so I just tie dye everything that is just lightly stained to give it a new lease on life, ha! My kids both love all their tie dye dye pieces and this process is much better than having to throw clothing away (Salvation Army won't take stained clothing) and buying new pieces! My kids usually help so this hack doubles as an activity as well. If I don't feel like spending the money on an expensive craft store kit I just use kool-aid with a splash of white vinegar and that method works as well if not better than the fancy kits... it's nearly free...the Dollar Tree carries both the white vinegar and the small packs of kool-aid. So you can transform a pile of lightly stained clothes for just a few dollars! The best! If you buy a kit from a big box craft store make sure you use a coupon to save 1/2 the price! Oh and FYI wear latex gloves when you tie dye! BIG mistake if you don't! #learnedthehardway





Here is what the finished product looks like! 😘🤗🤓
