How to Tie-Dye

**To buy tie-dye kits, tie-dye apparel, hemp jewelery check out my website http://www.ZaGaBa.com
You can also custom order a shirt!


This video shows how to prepare the shirts, tie the shirts in a spiral pattern, dye, rinse, and wash shirts.

*Shirts should be prewashed before soaking in the soda ash solution.

*Also, if using procion mx dyes, soda ash is important, it allows the dye to bond to the fabric. If you are not sure if the dye you're using needs soda ash, read the packaging, normally it will tell you.

*I forgot to mention, you want to either wear an apron or junkie/old clothes when tie-dying. You could also cut holes in a garbage bag and wear that.

I purchased the squeeze bottles from Wal-Mart, I can't remember the price, but I know under a dollar each.

my tie dyes awlays drip sooooo much, is there a way to make them stop?

[BlackCatDetector]

You could use a thickener, like sodium aliginate, to make the dye into more of a paste.

is there a way to keep the colors dark?

[BlackCatDetector]

Letting the shirts soak longer is the best and easiest way. You can also try using sodium alginate to make the dye thicker. Also, it's said that urea is suppose to help make colors more bold.
