SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- White t-shirt
- Tulip Tie Dye kit (including the colors pink, purple, teal, and black)
- Four additional lidded containers
- Iron-on letters
- Iron
DIRECTIONS:
- Follow Tulip Kit Instructions for Tie Dye: Protect work surface with plastic surface cover. Cover with a layer of papertowels. Prewash fabric to remove sizing; do not use fabric softener.
- Use t-shirt directly from washer. Wearing plastic gloves from kit, add water to dye bottles, filling to line. Replace cap tightly. Shake until dye is dissolved. Dilute the dye by dumping almost all of it, except about 1/8 of the bottle, into a secondary container. Fill the dye bottle up the rest of the way with water. Apply dye to fabric. Cover dyed fabric with plastic wrap to keep damp. Let set for 6-8 hours or longer for most intense colors. Fully rinse dyed fabric in warm water until all extra dye is removed and water runs clear. Fill washer to large load setting with hottest water suitable for the fabric and a small amount of laundry soap. Wash and dry separately.
- When fully dry, cut out selected iron-on letters and center on the chest of the t-shirt. Iron on following the manufacturer's instructions.
