how to: make a tie dye shirt

How to make a tie-dye t-shirt:

Things needed:
-a t-shirt of any color preferably white
-powder tie-dye mix (located in)
-a large bowl of warm water
-a teaspoon of salt
-rubber gloves

1. Get the bowl of warm water and add a teaspoon of salt.
2. Pour the tie-dye powder and mix it in the bowl.
3. Twist the shirt and tie knots in them using the rubber bands. (The more knots you have the more designs you will have.)
4. Get the shirt and dip it in the bowl or, you can pour the dye with the spoon to the different areas of the shirt. To avoid getting your hands stained with the dye use the rubber gloves when doing this step.
5. Let the dye sit for the designated amount of time written on the dye packet.
6. Next, remove the rubber bands from the shirt.
7. Rinse the dye with water until there is no longer any dye mixed with the water.
8. Then, put it in the washer.
9. You can either let it air dry or stick it in the dryer.
10. Finally, enjoy your home made tie dye shirt!
