It seems like ombre has taken over everything lately— hair, nails, clothes, etc. But the prices for these things can be mind-blowing at times. Here are three ways to make your own ombre accessories, cheaply and easily.
1. Dip-Dying
Though this seems to be the most common method of achieving the ombre look, it really is the easiest way. It works on almost anything — shorts, pants, hats, bags, you name it. Plus, it has great results! So cute!
2. Spray Painting
I’d never considered using a spray bottle to get the ombre look, but in this tutorial it works like a charm! Though it’s harder to do, it gives you more control on the finer details of the design, and gives the final product a more grungy look.
3. Bleaching
I am so totally in love with this method. It makes the shirt (pants, bag, whatever) look sun-bleached and worn, and sort of cozy because of that. Plus, it has the ease of the dip-dying method, without the dye! Perfect!
Would you try any of these techniques?

I love dip-dying! I just bought a plain white button down off of eBay and some Rit Dye from Walmart and went to town!
