SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Dish cloths
- Tulip 2 Minute Tie Dye Kit
DIRECTIONS:
- Make sure the item you are going to tie dye is white or a very light color, and made from 100% cotton or another natural fiber fabric, for best and brightest results. Before tie dyeing your item, make sure to wash it (without fabric softener) and leave damp. There's no need to presoak it in soda ash because Tulip One-Step Dyes already have soda ash in the formula. Cover your work area with a disposable plastic surface cover and you're ready to get started on the crumple tie-dye technique.
- Lay your damp fabric out on the covered work surface. Scrunch the fabric into a crumpled mound. You can make the fabric loosely crumpled or really squish it together for tighter, more defined crumples.
- If you wish, secure your crumpled fabric with rubber bands before tie dyeing. This will help hold the crumples more tightly, if you're trying to achieve a more defined crumple pattern.
- Put dish cloth in a microwavable container. Follow tie dye instructions accordingly.
- Wash and dry.
