It's no secret that I am crazy about tie-dye and one of the biggest reasons I love being an iLoveToCreate blogger is for all of the tie-dye projects I get to do! And if you think tie-dye is just for tee shirts, well, you've got another thing coming!
First up, are you looking to add some color to your bedroom? Why not tie-dye everything?! Get the directions from the iLoveToCreate website:

To be honest I've never owned a pair of Uggs because I kind of think they're Ugg-ly. BUT I love the way an old and wonr out pair can be totally reinvigorated (and the back tag saved from dye) with this interesting repurpose from HubPages.

Okay, so maybe a laundry sack isn't inherently a fun item BUT this laundry sack totally is. I like this for several reasons... it's totally simple to make and it's eye catching which means that if and when the kids toss this around in their messy closet floor you'll be able to spy it pretty quickly. Fab and fun tutorial from Life Your Way:
Make a Pillowcase Laundry Sack.
Fringe art is crazy super hot but all I can think of seeing tutorials for are yarn. Which is awesome if you knit or crochet, but what if you don't? Do you really want to buy 4 skeins of yarn that you have no use for after you've taken out only 1/4 of it? But everybody has old tee shirts they can repurpose! I am in LOVE with this piece from Home-ology, Modern Vintage and I'm sure you are to. Get the DIY:

I absolutely LOVE Frida Kahlo and almost all of my college art projects that dealt with using an artist as inspiration or to imitate as our own self portrait always went straight to the talented Miss Kahlo. So when I saw that Megan Nicolay tie-dyed up some doo-dads for a Kahlo-like 'do I thought it was just about the neatest thing I'd seen in ages! See how to rock this look:
