Spread the T-shirt on your surface and fold it right in the middle, from sleeve to sleeve.For this project, you’ll need a pre-soaked T-shirt, colored ink, rubber bands, and gloves.
This cute and flirty tie dye design is sure to turn heads, and it’s an excellent choice for a casual outfit. If you’ve ever wanted to wear your heart on your sleeve, here’s your perfect chance. When it’s finished soaking, you can remove it and wash the excess color out.
#COOL TIE DYE PATTERNS ACTIVATOR#
To do this, mix the color with some water and activator in a tub. Before you start, prepare a dye bath with the shade of your choice. For this, you’ll need a T-shirt, gloves, a tub, a spoon or spatula, rubber bands, and ink. You may opt for shades like baby blue, pink, or red – it’s a funky addition to any wardrobe. When the dye is no longer wet, wash the T-shirt, and voila! You’re ready to go.Ī fun and fresh way to tie dye a shirt is with a striped pattern. Wait 24 hours for the ink to dry before removing the rubber bands and unfolding the fabric.Then, flip the shirt over and repeat the same process. Continue with the other sections until it’s completely covered with the colors of your choice. Start by drawing around the edges of the shape and fill in the rest. Grab whichever shade you’d prefer to use first and color the wedge with the ink entirely.Be sure to place three or four in contrasting positions to create wedges that look like slices of pizza. Once you’ve mastered the feathering technique, keep the curled fabric flat and slide rubber bands over the top to maintain its shape.Remember, the closer you make the folds, the less ink and dye will penetrate the material.
Using the pinched center of the T-shirt, begin to sit the cloth, pinch, twist, and feather it out, so it’s a tight circle. Using the armpits, find the center of the fabric and pinch. Place the T-shirt flat with both arms laid out evenly.If you folded thickly, then some squeezing and/or a deeper dye dip might be needed for the color (or colors) to reach each other. If your folds are thin enough, the colors will come together. For more solid stripes instead of the dashed line effect, I would suggest a thin puddle of dye that you set the folded edges of the rubber-banded shirt into, and allow it to soak for a little bit, then flip it over to soak on the other side. We were using a couple of colors, Red and Blue because I wanted some purple effects which we got nicely. To spread the dye more thoroughly, after it sets for a little bit, you can gently squeeze the tightly rubber-banded shirt and give it the “bleeding” you likes. We squirted the die back and forth along the tops, “against the grain” and came out with horizontal lines that were more like a dashed line, thicker in the middles and spread thin at the edges of the lines. 1″ folds all the way up, then folded the folded shirt in quarters in order to make a tighter hold for the rubber bands. You can choose the thickness of the folds. Just Fold the fabric from the bottom, up as though you were making a fan from a piece of paper.
