HOW TO CREATE A HORIZONTAL TIE DYE PATTERN

WET AND FOLD

WET AND FOLD 

Materials needed to create a tie-dye pattern vary depending on how intricate you’d like your design to be. For this basic fold pattern start with a damp t-shirt lay it flat and start folding the shirt like you are making a paper fan.

WRAP WITH RUBBER BANDS

Secure the shirt with rubber bands to prevent it from unravelling. Place a band approx every two cm

Start applying the colours in stripes by alternating them. Flip your T-shirt after each strip is done, and make sure you fill it with colour on both sides of the shirt. Repeat this step until you have filled up the entire shirt with colour

USING RUBBER BANDS TO CREATE CIRCLE TIE-DYE DESIGNS 

Creating this circle tie-dye shirt is extremely simple. You need a damp shirt, a few rubber bands, and the Derivan Tie-dye. We created a two rings design for this example, but you may use as many as you desire.

START WITH A  WET T-SHIRT

START WITH A 

WET T-SHIRT

Your t-shirt should be damp before you start tie-dying because this encourages the intense, pigmented dyes to diffuse through the fabric.


POSITION YOUR RUBBER BANDS

Increase or decrease the size of the circle by moving the rubberbanded rings up or down. The more rubber bands you add, the more circles you will get in your design.
