Did you ever want to tie-dye something…in reverse? Are you asking yourself what reverse tie-dying even means? If the answer to either question is yes, look no further! Reverse tie-dying starts with a dark item of clothing rather than a light one, and uses bleach and water rather than fabric dye. Ideally, this craft should be done outside or in a very well-ventilated area. Follow the steps below!

1. Gather your materials: a dark item of clothing (think black, dark gray, navy, etc), rubber bands, spray bottle, rubber gloves, ¾ cup of water, and ¼ cup of bleach
2. Clean your item of clothing, and leave it slightly damp
3. Bind your item of clothing with the rubber bands in a pattern you like, or just get random with it! 
4. Mix your ¾ cup of water and ¼ cup of bleach in your spray bottle
5. Spray your article of clothing with the bleach mixture 
6. Let sit for around 30 minutes, then unbind, wash, and hang to dry!

2. Mix the two salts together in a large bowl
3. Add the essential oil and mix well to combine
4. Add the dried flower petals and mix well again
5. Pour the mixture into a glass jar and seal tightly
