April 26, 2013 - PRLog -- April 26, 2013 (Fresno, CA) • Celebrate the nostalgia of tie-dye on National Tie-Dye Day on April 30.

Tie-dye is magical…tie-dye is mystical…tie-dye is happiness.  Whether you’ve been tie-dying for decades or are tie-dying for the first time, the experience always produces smiles and giggles.  There is just something about tie-dye that attracts all ages.  Maybe it’s that tie-dye just can’t be messed up…or maybe it’s because the outcome is always different.  There is freedom and expression that comes from the tie-dye experience unlike any other creative activity.

Celebrate National Tie-Dye Day on April 30 by creating a spiral (aka “jerry garcia”), ombre, crumple or 7 other techniques available at http://tiedyeyoursummer.com/get-inspired.html…or celebrate tie-dye throughout the spring and summer months via the Tulip® Tie-Dye Your Summer road trip.

A 1978 VW Bus, covered with a tie-dye skin, is serving as the official Tulip® Tie-Dye Your Summer road trip bus, making stops in cities from San Francisco to San Diego and Fresno to San Luis Obispo.  At each stop, road trip hosts will lead passersby in creating a t-shirt using a Tulip® One-Step Tie-Dye Kit™ – the activity is absolutely free of charge to all participants.  Road trip stops are listed athttp://tiedyeyoursummer.com/follow-the-van.html.

“Our goal is two-fold,” said Valerie Marderosian, Sr. Vice President of Sales & Marketing and Chief Creative Officer for iLoveToCreate, a Duncan Enterprises Company.  “First, we want to expose the magic of tie-dye to those who have never done it.  Second, we want to remind those who did tie-dye years ago that it’s still just as fun, but now it’s easier and not messy.  Tie-dye is a current fashion trend but more importantly, it’s a staple of American summertime fun – we want to launch the fun!”
