Tie It
Lay the shirt on a flat surface and decide where you want your design center to be. Pinch this up and fasten it tightly with a rubber band one inch from the top. |
| 2. |  Continue fastening the shirt with rubber bands in 2- to
3-inch sections. |
| 3. | 
Dye It
Fill 4-quart buckets with your prepared dye baths. If you want to use just one color, dunk your whole shirt into that bucket and let it soak for 5 minutes. If you want a multicolored design, dunk the chosen sections of the shirt in the dye and hold it there for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it soaks, the more vibrant the results. |
