Making tie dye shirts is such a fun way to celebrate different holidays (like I did with my Halloween shirts and star tie dye shirt for 4th of July). I made this one for Valentine’s Day since the heart shape worked perfectly for the holiday! I even took it a step further and made it a rainbow pattern! You can also make a pastel version as well.

And even though I made the heart on a tie dye tank top, you can choose any item of clothing you’d like such as regular t-shirts, a sweatshirt, shorts, or even socks!

I also made a template to make it super easy to make this tie dye design.

And to get into the full Valentine’s Day spirit, you can also make these fun swirl fabric paint bracelets.
