Tye die t-shirt: at home and step by step
- The first thing you have to do is collect the materials. You need: paint for fabrics, coarse salt, elastic bands or ropes and the garment in question that you want to customize. If you don't want to stain yourself, we also advise you to get some disposable gloves.
- Once you have everything ready, tie the garment with several rubber bands making a spiral.
- Next, pour the salt into a container and mix it with the paint. You will have to repeat this step with the paint of each color.
- Then, add the paint of each color in the different parts of the garment to your liking (don't forget to do it on the back as well).
- And finally, cut the rubber bands and put the garment to dry.
The tie dye of a lifetime: with bleach
If you don't have colored dyes at home, don't worry. There is a much easier way to get the tie dye print and that is to do it with bleach on denim garments.
The procedure to make faded jeans is very simple and there are several options to do it:
- You can choose to rinse them completely and leave them practically white (for which you will simply have to soak them in bleach).
- Make a gradient and only put the bleach on the bottom of the pants.
- Or get a tie dye effect. For this you will have to 'paint' with bleach the areas of the pants that you want to be lightened.
