Rainbow Original Tie Dye Spiral T-Shirt

Product Information

For tie-dyers looking for more color options or a more professional quality dye, I recommend ProcionMX dyes from Jacquard or Dharma Trading Co. If you want to create your own colors, you don’t need to mix the dyes in a bottle together, just squeeze the colors right onto the fabric.

To get more white stripes in your design: Make sure to twist the spiral tightly, and make the rubber bands really tight. You can also try applying a little less dye, and avoiding the areas where you want white to show through. Let the Dye Set Let the shirt sit for minimally 6-8 hours and up to 24 hours max, so the dye can cure. This will help produce the brightest colors. Rinsing And WashingThis whole t-shirt will be one big bullseye with striped rings, but you can do smaller bullseyes allover or as a centre piece. Lea Scaddan // Getty Images Tie dye makes a good summer project since we like doing it outside to avoid the dye potentially getting somewhere in the house. While you’re waiting on the shirts to rest, spend some outdoor time doing a summer scavenger hunt around the yard or play a game of sponge bombs!

Recommendations

Lay the shirt flat on a table. Pinch a small section of fabric, and pull it up to create a small pointed cone shape.

TIP: You can also combine the different techniques on one item, for example a bullseye in the centre and scrunch allover the rest. Leaving to set/dry You can create lots of different patterns by folding and tying the fabric in different ways. The folds, rubber bands, and ties resist the dye, keeping it from saturating the fabric evenly. Any part of the fabric that doesn’t get dyed will stay white, creating the design. Easy Tie-Dye Folding TechniquesThen, wash the fabric items in the washing machine. Set the load size to small, the water temperature to hot, and add a small amount of Synthrapol or another dye-safe laundry detergent.
