I love tie-dying so much! It's fun and I love wearing it after! I saw this video and love the designs they did! I recommend doing a Jamaican Party: dirty banana cocktails, tie-dying and allso you can add to the day by doing some Jamaican beef patties! (We make virgin banana daquiris for the kids.) A great day with friends and family so good and such a fun day!
