There are several techniques to tie dye (e.g., linear, zigzag, dotted, etc.). We used the spiral tie dye technique.
Instructions:
1. Put your thumb and index finger in the center of the shirt.
2. Begin moving them in a circular motion, spiraling the shirt around the center point.
3. When you have spiraled the entire shirt, use large rubber bands and place on shirt like "pie slices".
4. Apply tie dye colours in different compartments.
*Be careful to not mix undesired colours (i.e., green and orange would make brown).
5. Leave in a damp plastic bag for 6-8 hours.
6. Wash shirt in sink until the water runs clear.
7. Hang dry, preferably in the sun for best results.
Ta da!
