Tie Dye Rainbow Socks

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Tulip® Tie Dye Kit
• Thigh-high socks, cotton. (For best results, use natural materials like cotton for tie dyeing.)
• Popsicle sticks or stir sticks

DIRECTIONS:

1. Submerge the socks into cool water until soaked. Wring out excess water so they are damp.
2. Fold each sock in half lengthwise. Then wrap four rubber bands tightly around the sock, creating five sections. This means you have one "section" for each color in the kit. Set aside.
3. Add about 3/4 of a packet of powdered dye to each section in the plastic tray. Then add water until cavity is almost full. Mix well with a disposable stick until powdered is dissolved. Repeat with a different color in each cavity for making tie dye rainbow socks.
4. Grab both socks together. Carefully place each section between the rubber bands in its own color. If needed, use a disposable stick to press the section into the cup so that you can see the color.
5. Allow the socks to set in the dye for about 8 hours. The dye will "walk" and spread into an ombre rainbow. Then carefully remove from the dye cups and cut away the rubber bands.
6. Rinse each section of the socks in cool water until it runs clear.
7. Wash the rainbow socks separately and dry normally.
