Has anyone taken a colored shirt and tie-dyed it in a bleach solution? How do you do this?

Answer 1

twist random sections of the shirt and tie elastic bands round them, or u could twist the bottom or top half and tie the top middle and bottom of the twisted bit.
then u dip it in bleach.
the more bits u tie with bands the more effects. try out on bits of material first.
make sure the bands are tight.

Answer 2

It's hard to explain, but the gist of it is to do the same thing as actual tye-dye. Take the shirt, fold it, and wrap it with rubber bands in the pattern that you would want it to be in (ex: wrapping rubber bands in a circle is the most common outcome of tye-dye, some people may wrap their rubber bands in the shape of an X to get an X on their shirt, be creative.) Then you dip it in bleach. Don't take my word for it but that's how I think it goes. I'm not quite sure of the quality of the tye-dye because some of the bleach might leak underneath the rubber bands, so make sure you tie them tight.

Answer 3

Like Dook said. I did a black shirt once a small section at a time, just dipping into a mug of bleach and letting it sit a minute or two, then untying it. I used a marble in the centre of each and twisted elastics around it. It turned out great.

Answer 4

in case you position bleach on the spots that you pick white and then wash it the bleach will thoroughly run by the completed blouse ruining it. so i'd propose in simple terms going out and paying for a clean blouse and larger tie die.

Answer 5

use the guidleines on www.ritdye.com for dying, just use bleach in one of your "dyepots"
