Items
Needed:
1.
White
shirt, onesie, socks, etc.
a.
Any
white clothing
b.
You
can also pick a different colored garment and instead of using tie dye you can
use bleach to make a pattern.
2.
Dye
a.
You
can mix as many colors as you want, I chose to only do blue with a white t
shirt
b.
I
bought a fabric dye formula at $2.50
3.
Rubber
bands
4.
Bucket
5.
1
gallon of hot water
Instructions:
1.
There
are many different folding styles you can find online to make your desired
pattern. I chose an “accordion technique”
2.
Choose
a technique and start wrapping rubber bands around it
3.
Get
you shirt wet
a.
I
forgot to follow this step personally, but it is recommended!
4.
I
then followed the instructions on the dye packet
a.
Use
a bucket and fill it with 1 gallon of hot water
b.
Mix
the dye in
c.
Insert
your garment for 15 minutes
d.
Rinse
garment in cold water and then wash in warm water
5.
Once
your timer is up you rinse the water out and start undoing the rubber bands
6.
Insert
in washer
7.
Dry
however you want
8.
For
more fun feel free to cut out your shirt/garment to make it more stylish!
Tips if I
were to do this again:
1.
Use
gloves to avoid dying your hands!
2.
Don’t
forget to wet your shirt before dying it, this will help the dye absorb more in
the shirt and it will turn out more evenly
3.
If
you end up doing only one color (that’s what I did) then I recommend adding as
many rubber bands as possible so more of the shirts color (white) shows
