9. Follow Dayna’s lead and try a DIY. “I’ve tie-dyed everything from pillow cases to necklaces and even a full outfit,” says Dayna, whose splashy handiwork can be seen above. “My favorite new discovery of tie-dying is with turmeric. I love that the dye is made from natural ingredients, and it’s a bonus that it’s my favorite color, yellow.”
