Tie Dyeing!!!!?

Question

Answer 1

Take the tie die tie,and stick it in the tie die solution.I just had to say that. I think Frank Zappa had a recording on the subject. Any-ways---Take your garment and depending on the look you want,(thick or thin tie marks)take sections and tie them off. I've used dental floss before and it worked great. You could use rope, rubber bands,just about anything you can tie real tight.Tie off big sections,or small ones,or both.Than get your differant color dyes and put into hot water in seperate containers. It's best if you get your garment wet first,than stick each tied off part into the dyes and let them soak untill you get the color you want. Rinse in cold water. That's how we use to do it in school.(when tie dye first came out,The Doors where playing at the Wiskey-a-Go-Go,and it was safe to hitch-hike.)
