Ready to get started?
Step One: Gather Your Materials
Prep for your tie-dye sesh by rounding up a few necessities. And keep in mind, when working with bleach, you should ALWAYS work in a well-ventilated area. We recommend outside! A t-shirt in any color except white (check out our women’s shirts & men’s t-shirts here!)
• Rubber bands or hair ties
• A spray bottle
• Gloves
• Bleach
Once you’ve got everything you need, set up your work station by putting cardboard or a plastic bag on a flat surface for minimal clean up.
Step Two: Twist Your Shirt
From there, lay down your t-shirt and begin twisting from the middle, then use rubber bands to hold your one-of-a-kind design in place.
Step Three: Spray with Bleach
Now’s time for the gloves – put them on and combine one part bleach with one part water. Then spray your shirt a BUNCH. Go lighter for a more low-key look and heavier for a more noticeable dye.
Step Four: Unwrap & Let Dry
Keep on the gloves and unwrap your shirt to check out your masterpiece! Let it dry completely, then wash once by itself before you wear it.
