Tie Dyeing a Peace Sign Free Tutorial by Ashley Hacksaw of Lil Blue Boo

I know that I've mentioned many times that I grew up as a baby boomer - "hippie" movement and all.  Well, I had a very pleasant surprise the other day that brought me back to the 60's and 70's.  It was a tutorial showing you how to tye dye a peace sign on a tee shirt and it was on Ashley Hacksaw's  Lil Blue Boo blog.  I was instantly transported back to my own "flower child" tye dyeing and "peace sign" days.  Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Ashley.

If you'd like to know how to tie dye your own "peace sign" Ashley's Tie Dyeing a Peace Sign (A Tutorial) will certainly show you how.  Peace!
