Add a splash of colour to your wardrobe with a DIY Tie-Dye T-Shirt! Whether you swirl, scrunch, or splatter, this project is a great way to express yourself.

Materials You’ll Need:

• White T-shirt – 100% cotton works best.
• Tie-dye kit – Including dyes, applicator bottles, rubber bands and plastic gloves.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prep Your Shirt

·       Soak your white T-shirt and wring out the excess water.

Step 2: Choose Your Pattern

·       Twist, fold, or scrunch your shirt into a design and secure it with rubber bands.

·       Twisting the fabric in the centre will make spirals.

·       Folding the fabric will create stripes.

Step 3: Mix & Apply Dye

·       Put on gloves and prepare the dyes according to your kit’s instructions.

·       Apply different colours to various sections of the shirt for a vibrant effect.

Step 4: Let It Set

Place the dyed T-shirt in a plastic bag and let it sit for 6-8 hours to allow the colours to set.

Step 5: Rinse & Reveal

Rinse the shirt under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, wash it separately on a gentle cycle and let it air dry.

Step 6: Show Off Your Masterpiece!

Once dry, your unique tie-dye t-shirt is ready to wear!

Top Tips:

·       Make sure to put a table cover down- it’s going to get messy!
