Sharpie Tie Dye

On Monday, the Diva and I experimented with Sharpies and Rubbing Alcohol.  You draw your design with sharpies on fabric then you dab with Alcohol and the result is a somewhat tie dye effect.  I found Q-tips work pretty well for this.  It would work really well with a dropper. Then you set the design with a hot iron after the alcohol has dried.

Of Course, I had to give it a try.  I did a smaller tighter design and I think the actual smearing of the ink  works a little better. The original idea is from here.
