Making the best tie dye shirts

By Larry Parker


A lot of people have many clothes in their lockers that they will not make use of any longer. Some of those clothes might not be too fashionable any longer and some of them might even be torn, yet you don't need to worry about them, because you can still use them to create tie dye shirts.

All you need to do in order to delve into something like this is to get some shirts that you no longer need, preferably monochrome shirts and use them in the process. You can also find some wonderful YouTube videos that will let you in on how to do it. So first, choose the t-shirt you want to dye.

First, you need to gather the type of dye you need and the T-shirts that you will use in the process yet remember to get some recipients to store the dye in. First of all, if you're a beginner, you will need to practice on some old pieces of fabric. Get your gloves on and try your 1st tie dye. In this stage, you will learn how much you will like to loosen or tighten your shirts.

Conceiving that you have already found the balance, you just have your T-Shirt soaked in water and then have it wrung it. Be sure that the T-Shirt will not drip when you have it lying on a flat surface. Next step to take is to have the dye mixed with water, agitate the bottle and then let it sit for some minutes. Pinch any part of the t-shirt with our finger. As long as you are doing this, be sure that the tie dye shirt will remain flat.

The next step is to have it submerged into the water tank that features a mixture of soda and water. After 30 minutes of you placing it there, get it out and lay it on a plastic bag. You will need to leave it this way for 24 hours now.

There are many courses on the internet that will let you in on as much info as you need regarding this technique, if need be to know more about it. You will thus learn how to create uniquely looking shirts that look very cool and cost little money. There are also stores that sell tie dye clothes, so check them out online.
