A fun way to keep clothing out of the tip is to teach children & adults Tie Dyeing. By changing the color and design of your clothing you can easily upcycle items to give them a refreshing and vibrant new look. This gives you a fantastic skill and makes your clothing more sustainable & affordable, kids also will be proud of their creations and on top of that you can share nice family moments that will last forever =) because If you love it you'll use it! Do you find yourself wearing the same few clothing items because you love the colors and they're comfy and look great?

So do kids, especially when the colors are bright and they have dyed it themselves. From the feedback we have received from parents, children will continuously wear their tie-dyed t-shirt often resulting in having to make another one so it can go in the wash! Having a few treasured items that you wear all the time is more sustainable than having a wardrobe full of cheap clothing, made in sweatshops that you hardly wear and end up sending to the charity shop in the best case.
