Blue flying birds leggings - DIY - dip dyeing

hello! This lovely Sunday I've decided to post a little DIY tutorial of a simple way how to make your leggings more interesting. I had this pair which was of a very weird colour - too close to the colour of the skin, but too white/blue to be the colour of the skin. And that's why I decided to paint something on them, so that I don't look like a walking zombie.

it was so awkward taking these pictures, haha

I dip-dyed the bottom of the leggings and drew little black birds, as well as added some silver dots. 

The process...easy! Just take some textile paint (I used the wrong one, so the colour wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be), put a little bit of water in it and dip your item. Then add a bit more paint and dip your item again, but not as deeply as the first time. And do it as many times as you want there to be layers. I did mine 3 or 4 times and it was ok. I'd suggest finding a nice place to hang in, otherwise you're gonna end up having paint all over the ground ^^

You can see the different levels of the paint in this picture.
