If you plan on layering colours, always
apply the lighter colours first, eg. yellow
then pink.
Be careful when mixing colours - colours
opposite each other on the colour wheel
eg. yellow and purple will turn a brownish
colour when mixed!

You don't have to dye the entire shirt.
You can do a few small sections of tie
dye and allow the original shirt colour
to show through. Be creative and make
your design unique!

Let The Dye Set

Once you have finished dying your shirt,
wrap the shirt in a plastic grocery bag to
keep it moist. Set it aside for 4-8 hours
so that the dye has time to react with
the cloth. Placing the shirt in a warm
area will help the dye to cure faster.
The longer the dye sets, the more
intense the colours will be.

Rinse Out The Dye

Wearing the protective gloves, take the
shirt out of the plastic bag and unwrap
any rubber bands that you have used.
Rinse the shirt with cold water in the sink
to remove the excess dye. Be careful
not to splash the water too much to
avoid dying your clothes or countertops.

Wash Your Shirt

Put your shirt into the washing machine
and wash on a cold cycle without adding
detergents or fabric softeners. If you
are dying more than 1 item at a time,
ONLY put 1 of the items in the washing
machine at once otherwise the colours
may transfer. Run the wash again with
an empty cycle and a little detergent
to get rid of any dye that might have
transferred to the inside of the machine.

Dry and Wear Your Shirt

Hang the shirt up to dry. Once dry it is
ready to wear!
