Plenty of people are keeping busy with jigsaw puzzles or baking these days, but some crafty types are upcycling items in their closets with tie-dying. Search terms like “DIY tie-dye” and “tie-dye sweatsuit” have recently jumped in popularity on Google and YouTube and tie-dye kits are one of Amazon's current best sellers in Arts, Crafts, & Sewing.

There are tons of tutorials that show viewers techniques they’ll need to transform plain clothes into colorful fashions using tie-dye kits and bleach, like"Tie Dyeing Everything In My Closet Cuz I'm Stuck At Home"from YouTube creator LaurDIY, which has gotten over half a million views in about a week.
