Are you interested in learning how to tie-dye?

The information and resources I provide here will teach you how to create your own colorful, tie-dyed t-shirts or other articles of clothing. You can also make matching tie-dyed sheets, pillowcases, and curtains if you like. It's easy if you follow the simple tie-dye directions below.

Basically, you gather, fold, and tie your item 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.

Use the supplies list and basic directions I provide as a general guideline. Make sure you also check out the cool shirts and all of the tie-dye craft photos shared by others.
