- Hello, my name is Lindsay
and today I'm going to be tie-dying an entire outfit,
with vegetables.
Veggies (whooping)
You know you're cooking dinner,
and you're like "oh my god I have half a carrot left,
"oh my god I got half a cabbage left,
"what am I gonna do with it?"
Surprise, you can dye your own clothes!
I'm excited about this,
just because I love the new tie-dye trend
that's going around.
I don't know if I'm gonna be good at this.
I want this outfit to be incredible,
but there's boiling involved,
there's pots involved,
there's chopping involved.
(smacking lips)
We'll see what happens.
The items that I'm going to be tie-dying today,
are socks,
a little crop top,
a romper,
and I also have my signature, a bucket hat.
So how this is going to work,
is I'm going to dye the clothes
and then I'm going to try styling them all together.
Hopefully the full, head to toe tie-dye look,
looks Gucci.
(soft music)
All right, we have cabbage that was supposed to make a blue.
We have beets that are supposed to make a deep pink,
reddish color.
And then we have turmeric,
that's supposed to make a bright yellow.
I don't think I've ever used beets before.
I just wanna show you how pigmented...
Oh my god, I feel like a serial killer
with a beauty channel.
(eerie music)
Got my hands already...
This is one beet in.
Change of plans, I am putting on gloves,
'cause I don't want my hands to be red.
(glove snaps)
Geez Louise.
(ball room music)
All right, it says to put enough water
so that it's one inch above the beets.
The beets are in,
I'm going to boil this for about an hour.
Hopefully A. It's enough,
and B. I don't know, it works, I don't know.
Now I'm going to do the cabbage, the blue.
Blue is one of my favorite colors
so I want this to work.
Please.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't know how you get blue from this.
Fun fact, I have never cut up a cabbage before
so I'm really gonna get roasted in the comments.
I don't know.
(soft music)
Hmm...
I don't have good knives.
Holy crap, oh my god, the beets look so crazy already.
(upbeat music)
(water running)
The water when you peek into it is actually blue.
Wow, science.
Smells beet-y.
(gasps)
I wonder what it tastes like, should I taste it?
(gags)
All right I read online that you can actually
add baking soda to the cabbage purple-ness
to make it more blue.
I'm just gonna try a little bit and just see what happens.
Oh my god.
That's insane, it literally is blue now.
It's from the ginger family, turmeric has a warm,
earthy flavor and a rich yellow color.
Oh curry, that makes sense.
That's just really strong.
My bad, so apparently the turmeric only takes five minutes
of boiling.
I'm gonna just do two batches of it
and hopefully that's enough for a cute little romper.
I feel like a scientist and LaurDIY at the same time.
(upbeat music)
Geez.
I'm keeping the cabbage in there because I don't think
it's still blue enough.
All right, now it says to "boil the clothes".
Yes, it really says to "boil the clothes", in vinegar.
I guess because of the vegetable dye,
that's what's gonna make it stick.
(upbeat music)
In the clothes go (chuckles)
Oh goodness.
(upbeat music)
I can't help but think that this is gonna catch on fire
or burn or something,
because it's just like fabric on a burner.
(upbeat music)
Oh my god, it's like a monster trying to burst out.
I'm supposed to make...
Oh it smells so vinegary.
Ew!
Ew, it smells so bad (gags).
(inhales)
Gross!
(upbeat music)
Oh there's a hair in there,
I don't know where that came from.
I have a feeling this is gonna take me awhile,
'cause it's a lot of vinegar in there
and a lot of clothes.
(upbeat music)
With the crop top shirt,
I wanna try all three colors on the shirt.
Apparently with vegetable dye,
most people just do one color because you have to soak them
for so long and if you just spritz it,
it won't get fully colored.
I don't wanna risk it on a bigger piece of clothing.
If that just completely fails,
I'll just do another shirt with one color.
I'm gonna do the classic tie-dye spiral for this one.
Squirt bottles, so cute with all my colors.
(upbeat music)
Yellow on.
Ohh!
That looks really cool.
Oh geez, the blue is really light.
Whoa, the pink looks so good.
I'm proud of this, I think this looks really cool,
I hope it comes out okay.
All right, for the second shirt
we are just going to dunk it in the beet juice
and hope for the best and just let it sit in there.
The bucket hat is like weirdly the thing that I want
to workout the most, just 'cause I wear them so much.
(upbeat music)
And now for the little sockies.
Gonna do the roll method that I've been doing.
There's a lot of methods online,
some of them even have hearts,
but I watch it for 10 seconds
and I was like "No way Jose".
I'm not gonna lie there is this really fun, relaxing
feeling with dying something,
because it's just seeing the colors mix together
and I don't know, the rolling is kind of satisfying too.
One side always looks really cute
and the other side always looks like a smush face.
All right, now it's time for the grand shebang,
the romper.
If I couldn't even roll a sock that well,
how do I do this thing?
Did that do it?
Yeah, I'm just gonna roll this.
(whooping)
I know I don't wanna do it in the crotch,
and I know I don't wanna do it in the boobie section.
That would be kind of funny though, to have (chuckles).
(upbeat music)
It's something (chuckles)
I don't know.
All right, it's going in, the turmeric.
What is this?
Oh yeah, that's the belt.
Oh shoot, it can't fit.
Fit in there.
Keep soaking.
And I'll see ya in the morning.
Good night little babies.
(upbeat music)
Good morning, I am checking up on my little tie-dye babies
and I think they're looking okay.
They're actually really pigmented
except for maybe the blue that turned
into more of a sea foam blue.
I don't know how to describe that.
I really enjoy this shirt,
I hope this turns out well.
This is a bit orange, super yellow,
so I'm hoping it rinses out a lot.
Lets clean them off,
no, lets rinse them out.
To be honest, if the socks don't turn out perfectly
I'll be okay (chuckles).
Yeah it's the whole sock, it's dyed.
Oh geez, that means my romper might be...
Well lets rinse it out.
It rinses out a lot.
That color is completely different,
it looks dirty.
Why did I do the things I did?
Hmm, that's a really great pink.
There is some tie-dying happening.
Whoa, whoa!
It's not the typical tie-dye that you'd expect,
but it's very discolored and all over the place.
Oh my god, this is already so cool I feel like.
But will it be cool when I rinse it?
(gasps)
Stop.
This is so sick!
Okay, it doesn't look as cool as it did before,
but it's something.
This one, the colors really blended into each other.
The yellow is straight orange.
This one's a little bit more rustic.
Hm, I don't hate that.
Lets do a little rinse.
Okay, the hat is so far the coolest thing.
The moment of truth,
the romper.
Guys, I think I messed this one up.
I didn't fold it the right way.
I'm doing the math in my head
and I'm like, "that was incorrect".
Taking all the rubber bands out.
Oh, there's some white parts in there.
I don't think I tie-dyed it correctly,
but it turned out very cool.
Wait, I'm shocked.
This is exceeding my expectations by a million.
Gonna dry them up
and then we're gonna style them.
Also look at my neighbor's bunny,
look at the little bunny.
Hello!
(intense music)
We have good news and bad news
when it came to the drying.
All right, lets start the tie-dye funeral now.
Moment of silence for the socks.
Not blue, not white, not pink, not yellow,
but everywhere in between.
I guess when I was drying it outside
the pink got on the blue
and then the blue completely dried away.
Honestly it's kind of a blessing that the pink got on it,
because now it actually has some color to it.
With shoes maybe it doesn't look so bad?
We also have our multi colored shirt,
that is now one color.
It's not bad...
I also lost a nail during this entire process,
R.I.P to that nail as well.
The worst thing that I think happened was the bucket hat.
The thing I wanted to be perfect the most.
I didn't even know this was possible,
but everything went wrong with it drying.
If you look at it from afar this way,
maybe it doesn't look terrible
but I don't know it's still disgusting.
The pink shirt is okay.
It's something.
The romper, it looks close to perfect,
I'm not gonna lie.
Even the shading of it is beautiful in the right places.
Yeah, I'm gonna put all these on so you guys can see it.
All right, here is my entire outfit.
Honestly, I'm not mad at it.
We got the romper, I didn't a cute little bow tie
and then underneath I put the pink.
I added some jewelry,
I have my rainbow necklace
which I think ties all the colors together.
Then of course the hat that did not succeed,
and the socks don't look terrible.
And then I also just paired it with my pink AirForce 1s
and I think it all just kind of goes.
It's just a nice, cute, summertime look.
This has been Lindsay and her veggies.
See ya later!
