How do you tie-dye your own shirt?

Answer 1

1. Start with a clean t-shirt in a material, like cotton, that will take the dye well.
2. Read the directions on the dye. It will likely recommend a presoak that will prepare the shirt to accept the dye better. Follow the directions on this.
3. Fold the shirt or tie it up in rubberbands. The way you bind the shirt now will create the pattern of the dye.
4. Dip the shirt into different colors of dye, squirt the dye on from squeeze bottles, or pour the dye onto the shirt. Use colors that go together (such as blues, yellows and greens, with no purples) to prevent making a brown shirt.
5. Allow the shirt to dry and then rinse it out. Follow the directions on the dye for a way to set the dye. This usually involves washing it very carefully once before you wear it.
