How to Tie-Dye Anything—Plus, Three of Our Favorite Patterns to Try
Tie-dyeing is a "resist" technique: Fabric is cinched so that when it's immersed, certain areas resist the dye. The undyed areas form decorative patterns against the dyed ones. This simple technique requires minimal equipment and supplies that are available at any supermarket or hardware store. Simply set out bowls of rubber bands, clothespins, marbles, and garments (for best results, use 100 percent cotton) and experiment with a variety of expressive patterns. Below learn how to tie-dye and explore four popular tie-dye patterns, although the possibilities are limitless.
