DIY TIE DYE MATCHING FAMILY OUTFITS

July 4, 2020 Los Angeles
Happy Birthday America! For this 4th of July, I made us tie dye matching family outfits and even though I was unsure how they’d turn out, I love them! Tie dye has been one of the biggest trends of this spring & summer and I can totally see why. Doing your own tie dye outfits is so-much-fun! I don’t consider myself a very creative person, so I went with the regular “messy” pattern instead of creating some cool art on our clothes. The actual making of the tie dye outfits was super easy too, so no worries if you’re not sure what to do – you really can’t mess up!

Hyvää synttäriä Amerikka! Täällä on tänään itsenäisyyspäivä, joka on koko kesän odotetuin juhla. 4th of July on vähän kuin Suomessa uusivuosi, sillä tänään lähestulkoon kaikkia räjäyttelevät ilotulituksia! Anyway, Amerikan itsenäisyyspäivän kunniaksi tein meille tie dye samisteluvaatteet 🙂 Tie dye (ei mitään hajua mikä se on suomeksi) on ollut ihan super duper iso trendi täällä koko kevään ja kesän ajan, enkä yhtään ihmetelekään. Mulla oli ainakin niin kivaa näitä vaatteita tehdessäni! Vaatteiden värjääminen oli tosi helppoa, joten ei huolta jos et ole taitelija – tätä et voi mokata!

What you need: Mitä tarvitset:
  • clothes to tie dye (duh!) värjättäviä vaatteita
  • squirt bottles suihkupulloja
  • dye värejä
  • rubber bands (I used total of 10 for our 2 shirts and a dress) kuminauhoja
  • rubber gloves kumihanskat 
  • plastic bags muovikasseja
How to tie dye:
Depending on what pattern you want (Google “tie dye patterns” and you get awesome results), scrunch up or roll the damp clothes into a roll. Use the rubber bands hold the scrunched sections together. Prep the dye accordingly (I used Rit dyes and mixed about 1 cup of hot water with 2 oz. of the dye). Use the squirt bottles to dye the clothes, make sure to flip them over and dye the other side too. Put the clothes in separate bags and wait for 3ish hours (or more for darker color intensity) before rinsing them with cold water and washing in a laundry machine. The cold water will prevent the colors from spreading 🙂 BTW, I didn’t have time to wash the clothes before dying them and they turned out OK. I just made sure they were damp so the color would bind better. Also, I didn’t have time to wash them either haha, so I hand washed them in the sink!
Miten värjäät:

Voit googlettaa ”tie dye patterns” ja löydät paljon erilaisia kuvioita joita voi värjäämällä tehdä. Itse tein jokaisesta vaatteen nurkasta pienen sökerön ja laitoin koko vaatteen ”kasaan”. Käytä valmiiksi pestyjä vaatteita, jotka ovat vielä märkiä. Kiinnitä jokainen pieni sökerö kuminauhalla, jotta vaate pysyy kasassa. Valmista väri ohjeiden mukaan (käytin noin 3dl kuumaa vettä ja alle 1dl väriä) ja laita se pulloon. Ruiski väriä vaatteisiin molemmin puolin, jonka jälkeen laita jokainen vaate omaan muovipussiin. Odota 3 tuntia (tai enemmän jos haluat väristä tummeman) ennenkuin peset vaatteet kylmällä vedellä, ja sitten vasta pesukoneessa. Kylmä vesi estää värien karkaamisen. BTW, mulla ei ollut aikaa pestä vaatteita pesukoneessa ennen eikä jälkeen värjäyksen, mutta niistä tuli ihan kivat silti! Pesin värin nopeasti pois käsin lavuaarissa.

Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our life, because my so incredible and beyond brilliant husband got into his dream DOCTORATE program! You were meant for something magnificent, Dr. Tim😍 I am in absolute awe of this man. He’s the most hardworking person I’ve ever seen and his devotion to everything he decides to do is something I’ve never seen before. What makes it all so beautiful is his love for his family, for us. There’s literally nothing he wouldn’t do to make sure our future is as bright as we dream it to be. And I’m not talking about career wise only. This man always puts our marriage first and every day of our marriage he’s treated me like a flower. We know our love is so divine and special and we both work to ensure that in this ugly world, it stays that way. I know our sons will be loving and dedicated husbands because they see their daddy love their mama so much🤍 His determination to be the best dad and role model for Jussi and baby brother is so powerful it moves mountains. He leads them to be great men, and I can’t wait until they can watch their daddy walk the stage as a DOCTOR and chant him on on the day of his graduation😭And when I say he loves us, he loves himself too. Getting his doctorate is something that we planned for years ago, because the desire and ambition to reach his full potential has always been there. I’m so happy to see him full of passion and fire and get where he wants to be as a man. And I couldn’t be more thankful to call him my husband. I can’t believe how blessed our family is.🤍 Baby, I’m so honored to stand by you the way you’ve stood by me. I’m so in love with you. I promise to be there for you through every storm and sunshine on this journey. Beaming with pride, now and always. I’ll forever be your number one fan🤍
FIGHT ON!✌️ @uscedu #proudwife #trojanpride #symbolofsuccess

God knows how much I love the men in my life, so h God knows how much I love the men in my life, so he wanted to bless us with another little BOY!💙 Tears run down my cheeks every time I think of Jussi’s little brother and how honored I am to be having another son for my husband. Raising men is truly such a high calling. I pray my sons will be strong and courageous, standing up for those who need it. That they’ll also know how to love fiercely and have gentle & loving hearts. I pray they’ll always have a spirit of respect and kindness in everything they do. That they’ll speak their truth and stand behind their actions and words. I pray my boys will be noble and godly men who persevere even when life throws them their toughest challenges. But most of all, I pray that my sons will know their heritage. Not only both of their home countries and the amazing qualities they have, but also the heritage of their forefathers - on both sides. If they’ll have even an ounce of the discipline, ambition, and hard-workiness that their father, grand-fathers, and other men in the family have then I know I’ve done my job as a mother. My sweet Jussi and baby brother, äiti loves you until the day I leave this earth and forever after that🤍
