Create St. Patty’s Day Tie-Dyed Socks for Gift-Giving!

Looking to wear some green on St. Patrick’s Day and catch the luck of the Irish? Find a pair of cotton socks, old or new, wrap them with rubber bands and dye them Kelly Green. These socks are fun to wear and sure to bring the luck of the Irish smilin’ on you! For a little extra luck, dye a pair for a friend! 

Barbara Warholic created these socks by wrapping 8 rubber bands horizontally around each sock, spacing them about 1 ¼” apart. The tighter the bands are wrapped, the more white area there will be. Then she dipped the socks in mixture of Kelly Green dye and hot water for 10 minutes. This is so easy and so much fun! Make one pair for yourself and one for a friend.  Better yet, invite your friends over for pre St. Patty’s tie-dye party!  Loving the sweet ribbon detailing! Click here for the full tutorial.
