Tie-Dyeing T-shirts Using Powder Dye

Tie-dye t-shirts is one of the world's favorite t-shirt and is quite easy to make, you can also make them for personal use or for profit. You'll need:

1. A soaking tub or large pot.




2. Dye (to save money use powder dye).




3. Rubber gloves (to protect hands from dye).




4. Rubber bands.




5. Dye pre-activator (to help the dye absorb through the fabric).




6. Plastic.




7. Squeeze bottle.

Directions:

• Mix powder dye with water in a squeeze bottle.




• Shake the mixture (make sure you protect your hands w/rubber gloves).




• Soak the shirt in the dye pre-activator for 10 minutes.
