How Do You Make Tie-Dyed T-Shirt Designs?
Although tie-dye has been around for thousands of years and has a rich history, many people associate tie-dyeing with the 1960s. You don’t have to be a Grateful Dead fan to love a tie-dye T-shirt, and you certainly don’t have to be a clothing manufacturer in order to make one. Tie-dyeing is as easy as its name, so if you are looking for an easy, fun craft project to keep children busy, or just looking for a cheap way to add some life and color to an old T-shirt, there is no better choice than tie-dyeing. Select a flat service such as a kitchen table and cover the surface with a disposable plastic tablecloth, making sure to secure the corners firmly with tape to prevent it from sliding. Lay old newspaper on top of the tablecloth to absorb any excess dye. Generously cover the floor around the work area with extra newspaper. Fill a bucket with 2-3 gallons of warm water. Add ½-ounce of soda ash per gallon of water. Be sure to wear rubber gloves as you apply the soda ash. Bind the shirt wit
