Are you bored of wearing the same white tee-shirt / shirt over and over again? Then give it a funky appearance by dying the shirt / tee shirt in bright eye-catching patterns and designs through the tie dye technique. Infact the tie and dye process can be used to give a makeover to a wide-variety of white or light hued fabrics or even readymade garments. Read how. In tie and dye instructions given below, we have used a white tee shirt.
Tie-Dye Instructions & Techniques
- Carry outside a big steel bucket or bowl, where creating a mess and clearing it later won’t prove that much of a problem. Fill the bucket / bowl with water.
- Bring the water in the container to a boil.
- After water starts boiling, pour dye in it. (You can get dyes for clothes from the market).
- Now roll up the shirt / tee-shirt as firmly as possible.
- Now put thick rubber bands on the rolled up shirt / tee shirt to keep it that way. You can also choose to tie the rolled shirt / tee with a string.
- Now carefully dip the shirt in the bucket that contains the dye mixed in water.
- After this is done, slowly open it up and let it dry.
- You will find that all areas over the shirt / tee shirt except where it was covered by the rubber band has taken the color of the dye. Wear it on later when fully dry with a clean pair of jeans / skirt.
