3.  Tie dye is a technique for dying fabrics
that results in interesting, colorful
patterns. The technique involves
crumpling, pleating or folding the fabric
into various patterns, then tying it with
string, which is what gives it its name.

4.  It is important for individuals to select natural
fabrics to tie dye, as synthetics generally do
not readily accept dye. Cotton is an excellent
choice, making tie dyed T-shirts a favorite.
People can also use this technique on Silk
scarves, bed sheets, blouses, skirts, and pants.

5.  Make stripes:Lay
your shirt out flat on a
table. Roll it from the
bottom hem to the
neck, so that you end
up with a long tube of
shirt. Use string or
rubber bands to tie
loops around the shirt
roll.

6.  This is the most basic of
the tie dye techniques and
one of the most popular.
To create a spiral on your
shirt, first lay it flat on a
countertop or table. Then,
put your thumb and index
finger in the center of the
shirt. Begin moving them
in a circular motion,
spiraling the shirt around
the center point.

7.  Take your shirt, and
pinch small sections of
fabric between your
fingers. Tie a piece of
string around the end of
the fabric. To create
small dots, only leave
one-half to one inch of
fabric outside of the tie.
Larger dots can be
made by tying the fabric
further down so that a
larger section of fabric
sticks out.

8.  These are small floral
shaped dots spread out
around your shirt. To do
this, pinch a small section
of your shirt together.
Transfer the pinched
section to one hand, and
then pinch another
nearby section. Again,
transfer this section to
your opposite hand.
When you have a group
of pinched sections, lace
them with a string or
rubber band.

9.  Start at the bottom of
your shirt, and fold it
upwards in the
accordion style. To do
that, you should fold
a section towards the
front, and then take
that section and fold it
towards the back.
Repeat this pattern
until the entire shirt
has been folded.

10.  The easiest way to tie dye
is to take your shirt and
crumple it up however
you would like. It should
be very messy and
rumpled, not neatly rolled
or folded. Then, take as
many strings and rubber
bands as you would like,
and wrap them all over
the shirt. You can create a
pattern with them, but for
the most “crumpled” look
don’t follow any direction.

11. Tie dye is a popular technique used to create
colorful designs and patterns on clothing.
Today, tie dye is a great way to jazz up
plain t-shirts and other garments using
colorfast dyes and creative folding
techniques.
