Dyed Onsies

I saw a blog post or a Pinterest tutorial or my friend who's crafty told me about this a couple weeks ago. Regardless, it's one of those "duh" ideas that makes you feel excited to craft and stupid for not thinking of it sooner!!

We had lots of plain white onesies from Ben that were still in great shape, so I kept them. Problem is that after 5 years, those weird formula stains start to show up. (1) so in lieu of junking otherwise good clothing staples, I decided to color them. You just need some dye, a safe place to soak the items and something to stir with. (2) I also pattern dyed a couple, so I also used masking tape and rubber bands. (3)
Mix the dye according to package instructions and REALLY let the pieces soak. 45 minutes or more!

When you're done, rinse the items till they run clear then immediately into the washer.

And you're done!
