Fleur de Lis Tie Dye Shirt

This adorable Fleur de Lis Tie Dye Shirt is a fun design for an adult or kid's t-shirt. Inspired by Canada's Flag Day, the tie dye design is very easy and simple, though most likely too complicated for kids to do. You could personalize this craft by changing the color of the dye to a favorite color. These t-shirts are great to wear in the summer heat as well as bright and festive. The tutorial even includes a free pattern for the fleur de lis design, so you can start this project as soon as you have the dye and shirt.
