Lately we’re all looking for little ways to make our days a bit brighter. And now, we’re officially adding tie-dyed takes on everyday basics to our list of go-to mood-boosters.
As Etsy Trend Expert Dayna Isom Johnson says, “The new wave of tie-dye designs are cheerful, nostalgic, and inspiring—and I’m loving DIY kits as a way to express my creativity.” From colorful face masks and reusable food wrappers to breezy curtains and comfy, coordinated sweats, we hope these swirly staples (and crafty supplies) will inspire you, too. Read on for 9 ways to bring some tie-dye delight into your life.

1. Add some much-needed whimsy to your daily kitchen cleanups with vibrant tea towels.

2. Let a painterly face mask spark a renewed commitment to safer social distancing.

3. Dip a toe (or ten) into the tie-dye trend with custom-saturated socks.

4. Suit up for your next family movie night or Zoom book club in comfy, coordinated—and influencer-approved—sweats.

5. Pack up picnic snacks or tote some produce in bold, breathable food pouches.

6. Spruce up your windowsill with indigo-tinted plant pots.

7. Let the sun shine in through a pair of shibori-dyed curtain panels.

8. Level up your loungewear game with a romantic, hand-dyed kimono robe.
And if you’re feeling creative…

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.”

I heart this feature - all of it. Thank you for sharing. My husband was just recently killed in an accident (a week + I day ago). Our sons and I wore tie-dyed shirts (his shirts) in his honor. Every single time I see anything tie-dyed, I cry and I smile. This feature made me do both.

I bought the tumeric dye kit that was suggested. Does Dayna have a DIY instruction for her outfit? And where did she get the hoodie and shoorts in white? I want to make some sets in different color schemes. Thank you.

Loooove them all! This summer I'll try to dye something by myself! Hope the result is half as nice ;P

We are feelin' tie dye patterns this summer for sure! Several of our local schools have reached out to us for masks and when we included a tie dye version they loved it!!! It's now one of our most popular patterns for them to purchase.
