I wanna tie dye some bed sheets....?

you need: couple of buckets, lots of rubberbands, some deep pots with fabric dye, lots of water, vinegar.

Experiment first with cheap t-shirts. Soak the shirt in clear water. Wrap the rubber band around it as tight as you can. Soak the shirt in dye for 20 minutes or so. Rinse the shirt in cold water till no more dye bleeds out. Remove the rubberbands. Soak the shirt in vinegar to set the dye.





Start with lighter colors and finish the dye job with darker colors. Listen to something groovy to get you in the right frame of mind. Hendrix, Airplane, Dead, Donavon, etc. And don't worry about it. The first batch will look awful. But you will get better with practice.I wanna tie dye some bed sheets....?
ritz powdered fabric die then tie your stuff in knots and dip it and let dry or you can go to ask.com the grocery stores usually have it in the household isle where the laundry stuff is
buy some kitchen (yellow) gloves.. and a tie die kit. usually from michaels, target, or other crafts/art store
