DIY Sharpie Colored Bag

You see a lot of tie-dye projects on Pinterest using sharpie, but I prefer silk to the cotton projects you more often encounter. Silk is much more agreeable to being dyed and then manipulated for the tie-dye effect.

To do this project, simply color the bag any color(s) you prefer, in a pattern, leaving some white areas for the colors to run together, and then finally use rubbing alcohol to disperse the color. A paintbrush works great, and I bought a special higher diluted rubbing alcohol so look for one that is the most concentrated. Throw it in the dryer to heat set once you are done!
