• T-shirt
• Food Colouring Dye (x2)
• Rubber Bands
• Plastic Bag
• White Vinegar
• Salt
• A Bowl or Bath-area to contain mess to

Directions!

1. Combine 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water (I used 1 cup) in a bowl
2. Soak the t-shirt in diluted vinegar mix for an hour
3. Ring out all vinegar from the t-shirt and lay flat
4. Twist, tie, and then secure-via rubber-band your design to its’ desired form. Some inspiration here (I went for a classic spiral)
5. Mix your dye (we're aiming for saturation!) and a small amount of water
6. Pour/dip/dunk/mix your ink over your shirt, (do this in/over the bowl, or in your bath to minimize mess)
7. Put your shirt in the plastic bag, and let it sit for at least 8 hours. Overnight is recommended
8. The next day mix 1 cup salt with 1 cup water in your bowl, and soak the t-shirt in the salt-water mixture to set the colour.
9. Rinse out the dye from the shirt
10. It is recommended to wash your tie-dye shirt alone, on cold for the first few washes
