Fold, spin, apply the dye, and finish... showing a few results and ideas.
A good guide for the first time... a great refresher for the repeat.

  • awesome tutorial WolfEchoes, is this the only way to achieve a spider shirt or are there other methods? Reason I am asking is I've seen some wi;d spider shirts and was wondering if there was another applicator to get those designs? TIA.

  • @Eye4TieDye

    Thanks. I only know of this way... the fold has to be the middle to get the "mirror". Maybe there is other ways to achieve the spider part, but it may all come down to application technique.

    There are some wicked looking spiders on Addicted To Tie Dying - and someone there might know an answer to that (FaceBook). But I have never seen another way...

  • How long do you let it set for before rinsing it?

  • @sheshir

    I let mine go three days in a bag... but most say that uis too long to wait. as 24 hours.

    If you add heat (while in the bag) it can make it super fast...

    Microwave the shirt for about 30 seconds, flip and go another 30... then let it cool before rinse.

  • @WolfEchoes

    Not sure what my type did there...

    Some wait as little as 24 hours.

  • when you wash it in the machine do u put in soap or just water

  • @cookiemonsterwuvsyoo

    I add a small amount of soap.

    Nothing major, on cold...
