Stripe Tie-Dye Shirt

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Tulip® Tie-Dye Stripe Kit
• 100% Cotton Shirt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Wash shirt (or other fabric item) without fabric softener and leave damp. Since Tulip One-Step Tie Dye contains soda ash in the formula, there's no need to presoak your fabric before dyeing it. Lay your damp fabric out flat on your covered work surface and accordion pleat and fold fabric either vertically or horizontally.
2. Use rubber bands to secure your pleated fabric, evenly spacing rubber bands and adding as many as desired. You can space the rubber bands far apart for wider stripes, or close together for thin stripes.
3. Mix your desired Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye colors according to instructions. With the striped tie-dye pattern, you can use as many dye colors as you want.
4. Apply One-Step Tie Dyes to each banded section, alternating colors or skipping sections altogether if desired. Rotate your pleated fabric as you add dye, making sure to apply the dye on the underside and sides so all portions of the section are covered in dye. Let your tie dye set for 6 to 8 hours or longer for the dye to fully set.

JOANN HACKS:

• Place in a sealed zipper bag or cover with plastic to keep damp while the dye processes for best results. After the dye has finished setting, launder according to instructions.
