Gather Supplies:

Old t-shirtFabric dye (choose colors of your preference)Rubber bandsPlastic squeeze bottles or spray bottlesPlastic glovesPlastic or garbage bags to protect your work surfacePlastic wrap or plastic bags to wrap the dyed shirt

Prepare the Shirt:

Start by washing the t-shirt to remove any dirt or sizing. Do not use fabric softener.Dampen the shirt by either spraying it with water or soaking it in water. This helps the dye absorb better.

Choose a Tie-Dye Technique:

There are various tie-dye techniques you can try, such as spiral, bullseye, crumple, or accordion folds. Choose the one you like and follow the specific instructions for that technique.

Create the Design:

Depending on the technique, you will fold, twist, or scrunch the shirt in specific ways and secure it with rubber bands. The areas secured with rubber bands will resist the dye, creating patterns.

Mix the Dye:

Follow the instructions on the dye packaging to mix the dye with water. Wear plastic gloves to protect your hands while handling the dye.

Apply the Dye:

Use squeeze bottles or spray bottles to apply the dye to different sections of the shirt. Be creative with your color choices and placement of the dye. Make sure to saturate the fabric well.

Let the Dye Set:

Once you have applied the dye, place the dyed shirt in a plastic bag or wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it moist. Let it sit for several hours or as specified by the dye instructions to allow the dye to set.

Rinse and Wash the Shirt:

After the dye has set, remove the rubber bands and rinse the shirt under cold water until the water runs clear.Machine wash the shirt separately using cold water and a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. This helps remove any excess dye and set the colors.

Dry and Enjoy:

Hang the tie-dyed shirt to dry or tumble dry it on a low setting. Once it’s dry, your tie-dye shirt is ready to be worn and enjoyed!

Remember to carefully read and follow the instructions provided with the fabric dye you are using, as specific brands may have slightly different directions. Enjoy the creative process and have fun experimenting with different tie-dye designs!
