After watching The Voice last night, Ellie asked if she could kool aid dye her hair. At first I said no way. Then after thinking about it I thought that since it was Kool aid I wouldn't mind. And we would only do the tips so if it came out bad or I did not like it we would cut it off. Two things we did wrong. First was to think that the color of the package was the color the drink mix. We ended up with too much red. Ellie wanted rainbow. Secondly on the first try (above) we dabbed it on with a paper towel and rinsed to quickly. The second way we did it is below. First she sat with tips in bowls of color.
Then I put it in tin foil to dry a bit.
This is the final result. Not bad, she is happy and I am happy.
While we were in the process of doing it, Liam and his friend came home. Liam's friend thought it was so cool he called home and asked if he could stay over to see how we did it and how it came out.
This was a great project to keep me away from the tv. I broke down last night for about ten minutes when I went to bed. But there was nothing on that I was interested in and it was easy to get back on track. So far so good today. Though this is my early day and it is nasty weather out. I would like to sit and knit and watch tv. I will make this.
