Dont want to pay 95 dollars for the gradient tights form prada?! get your for only 2!
saw this one on the net:
http://the-coveted.com/blog/2008/01/30/gradient-tights-i-done-myself/
but since i think that dye is very expencive for such a small tight and easter is right around the corner, i found a pretty cheap way how to dye those tights and get your gradient tights for less than two bugs. ( 1 for the tights and less than 1 for the egg paint)
so who wanna pay 95 dollars for those ?!
i really dont know if your legs get purple of this or what ever, but since you would have eaten the eggs, for which the paint was too, i think there will be no effects on humen beeings.
note:
i uploaded mine now.
okay, that purple turnt out much too pink and pink really isnt a colour for this, but anyways, im proud of them.
and i will get more packages of egg paint
and do more
this was fun!
ps.:
thank you so much for adding my project as favorite. im sooo proud to see it on the populars!

Step 1Fist gather your supplies:
you will need
light colored tights
egg paintegg paint are little pellets that you can put into hot water. when you put a egg in there too it gets the desired colour. this is hard to explain... im sure you know what i mean
-
Step 2vinegar
the vinegrar is for protecting the colour from wasching out
-
Step 3a water boiler and a bucket (not seen)
note: be carefull not to shrink your tights by the hot water!
DO THE WHOLE THING IN THE SHOWER OR THE GARDEN OR SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU CAN EASILY CLEAN THE MESS. THERE MUSTNT BE A BIG MESS, BUT JUST TO BE SURE.
-
Step 4read the discriptions on the package of the egg paint
we will do the exact same thing with the tights
choose your colour
-
Step 5rinse your tights with clear water
and wring them out -
Step 6arrange your tights an bucket so that you can hang the tights for drieing over the bucket
-
Step 7
start your waterboiler with the amount of water described on the package of the egg paint. you can take a bit more if you have the feeling, that it could be not enough to soak your thíghts.
also already put a good amount of vinegar and your egg paint pallet into the bucket
-
Step 8put the boiling water into the bucket
-
Step 9dip your tights into the bucket and keep tham hanging till theyre drie. this will give the gradiend effect.
-
Step 10
you can also rinse them again once theyre dried, and YOURE DONE!
now go out there and make tham all get jailous
