How do I go about tie dying? And is it possible to use natural vegetable ingredients at home, i.e., beets?

Answer 1

You need some rubber bands and you gather and pinch the fabric into bundles and use the bands to hold it in place. Use squeeze bottles to put dye where you want it and remember light to dark. Do the light colors first then continue to the darker ones. You can use Koolaid, vegetables, fruits, etc. But the natural colors will fade before the synthetic dyes will.

Answer 2

Tie dying is pretty easy. You use rubber bands, or even strips of cloth. Make sure they're on REALLY, REALLY tight. Actually, I've had better luck tieing pieces of trash bags over the cloth. Plain rubber bands just make very small rings, you knowh.

To make dye, you get some brightly colored plants, and add salt, and boil the stuff. Beets don't work so well. If you want the bright red color, it won't stay. If you cook it long enough that the dye will set in the fabric you'll have a rust brown color. Try some flowers instead. I hear dandelions work great... but you'll need a lot of them. Actually, plain dye is pretty cheap.
