DIY dyed shorts

i made these shorts last summer from an old pair of jeans that i got at a thrift store but when i bleached them, they came out an odd yellow color. i hardly wore them because they were so wierd and yellow so i decided to dye them myself.

all you need is a bucket and water and i used black acrylic paint because it works !!!!!!

pour a hefty amount of paint into about 2 inches of water and mix it up

dunk them shorts !!!!! i only put in about half of the shorts because i wanted a gradient look

i then filled it with a little bit more water to make it less concentrated
then i dunked them in further

ahahahhahaa now they look kinda dookey looking but i like them ! theyre still stupid yellow at the bottom. i added too much water the second time so they didnt come out so gradient like but its all good
