This is so fun, quick and easy to make! They can be worn in the summertime as cool cover-ups (the teens especially love these over swimsuits or colorful camis) or as a show-through layer in the winter.

I thought this would be a perfect item to tie-dye, especially since it was made with white cotton. The child’s version shown was actually dyed by the (7-year-old) child modeling it - not bad!

Please note that no specific instructions for dying are included - we just used RIT and followed the instructions on the box.
