Last week I had my teen girls Bible Study class over for some fun…if you saw my story on Instagram I asked you all if you thought I was crazy…but we made tie-dye shirts using water guns.  Talk about a blast and a new twist to tie-dye t shirts!How to Tie Dye Shirts with WAter Guns

Materials you need to make Tie Dye T Shirts with Water Guns

  • T-Shirt for each participant
  • Different size water guns
  • Tie Dye KitHow to Tie Dye with Water Guns
  • Gloves (extra gloves even though the kit comes with some!)
  • Rope/Clothes pins to hang up t shirts.



I saw this tie die with water guns activity on Skip to my Lou and she suggested putting wax paper in between the t shirts – but said that didn’t work so well…I saw where someone suggested putting cardboard between the shirts…well we opted out of both!  I don’t know if it was a good idea but I don’t know that it was necessarily a bad idea either – that we opted out.painting shirts with water guns tie dye water gun michaels

We loved how easy and fun this activity was!  A perfect tween or teen activity for sure!  All of their t shirts were so colorful and different which I loved!

Get a variety of different water guns…they all created a different look to the tie-dye which made it super fun.

    After you let the shirts dry did you wash give them to each girl to wash on their own?
