TIE DYE SHIRT TUTORIAL SERIES: CRISS CROSS PATTERN

I love this tie dye pattern- it's very cool looking but is very easy to get. This pattern was made with folding and rubber bands. The criss cross pattern looks good in multiple colors or single colors too. I've used dark blue teal, light blue, and a coral for this pattern.

I was so bummed out when I somehow got bleach on one of my favorite J.Crew denim shirts! I decided to upcycle instead of throw it out because it had a lot of life left.
