Editor’s Review –Tie Dye Socks Kit - "Creative, Easy, Fun!"

This was our first time tie-dyeing socks, and they came out so cute that I wanted to share our experience with you. If you’re intimidated at the thought of dyeing t-shirts, or maybe you need a project for the kids that will take less time and is easier to manage, consider purchasing the Tulip Slumber Party Crazy Socks Kit (affiliate link). I purchased this kit over a year ago, and we finally decided to pull it out and bring our creations to life. It turned out to be the perfect creative thing to do to fill some spare moments at home on a Saturday afternoon. (We dyed t-shirts too, and my kids are serious about their tie dye, so all-in-all – t-shirts and socks – we spent 45 minutes on  the "dyeing" part of this project. If you're just doing socks, I estimate it'll take 10-15 minutes or less).
