Debby Ryan may only be 17, but she's already got a few fashion tips and tricks up her sleeve. One of them is so easy it makes you wonder why you hadn't thought of it before!
When we chatted with her, Debby let us in on a couple of her secrets. She said that instead of battling with store-bought tights in standard shades, she stains them herself sot hey're the perfect color! Debby takes a pair of white tights and four black tea bags and goes to work!
First, she brews a really concentrated tea with the tea bags. Put your tights in the mixture and let it sit. Keep checking on it until you get the shade you want. The tights will be dark when they're wet, but they'll dry lighter. Remember, you can always make the tights darker if they're not dark enough the first time around.
Debby also uses this technique on things like t-shirts, but she says to take care not to make a mess! She says:
I did it the other day with a v-neck because it was a bad color for me, it was too greenish and needed to be more brownish so I tea stained a v-neck and fell in love with it. It's fun to play with and I have tie dye parties. Be really careful so that you don't stain your sink!
