Try your hand at the art of tie-dye. You can create your own colorful tie-dyed t-shirts or other articles of clothing. You can also make matching sheets, pillowcases, and curtains if you like. It's easy if you follow these simple tie-dye directions.

Basically, you gather, fold, and tie your t-shirt (or other item) with rubber bands or string and soak it in fabric dye. Of course, there are a few more steps but these will vary depending on what kind of dye you use.
