how do you tie die a shirt?

Question

are there different ways to tie-die a t-shirt, or not? which is your favorite? what colors do you recommend? and how do you do the wheel shape?

Answer 1

For a wheel you pinch one bit of the shirt, pull on that and tie elastic bands around the shirt below it.
Some people put a marble or little stone in the pinch, some just hold a bit of fabric.
The longer length you tie with elastic bands or string behind your pinch, the bigger the wheel will be.
Where the bands or string is will be a white circle.
So the more binding the whiter the resulting wheel will be.
You can also dip the tip of the bound part in a different colour, so the wheel will be a different colour to the rest of the shirt.

If you fold the shirt in pleats, and tie them, you can design your patterns.
You can also tie, dye, untie a part and re-tie in different places and dye in a different colour or the same to make different shades.
Or untie completely, fold different and tie again, and dye that way.
Endless possibilities.
