How to Tie Dye Leggings

Last month I posted a video tutorial on DIY leggings.  If you missed it you can check it out HERE. This week I’m back with Part 2 of that series where I’m taking the plain ol’ white leggings I created in the first video and give them some life with a cool tie-dye effect using Rit liquid dye. 

If you have never tie-dyed before get ready… it is soooooooooooo easy! I love that Rit dye is non-toxic and is pretty straight forward to use.

BEFORE: I would never wear these white leggings out in public.  They make my thighs look bigger and the fabric is semi-sheer so you can see everything.

AFTER: I totally feel comfortable wearing these out and I love that I can top them with a hi-lo tank like the one I’m wearing in the pic to allow more of the tie-dye design on the front to show but at the same time cover up my backside.

I think this project is a great example of what a little inexpensive bottle of dye can do to boost your wardrobe. I only used the Black RIT liquid dye bottle but you could use multiple dyes to get a funkier look.  Totally experiment with it and no matter what you get it will be fabulous!

Hat: Kingston Crochet Hat {made by me from this tutorial}
Top: Hi-lo hem tank {bought at Target, similar ones HERE and HERE}
Leggings: 98% rayon 2% Lycra fabric {Made by me using this tutorial, tie-dyed by me using this tutorial}
Shoes: Hot pink canvas sneakers {Got at Target on clearance, similar ones HERE}

I’m totally loving this chill outfit. Shows my fashion style while being comfortable enough to chase two preschoolers around.
