Stripes
1. To create colourful stripes on a
t-shirt, lay your t-shirt out flat.
Starting at the bottom of the shirt,
fold the shirt into pleats.
2. Pleat the whole shirt as pictured.
3. Use elastic bands to tie the shirt
into sections. This will create the
stripe pattern on your t-shirt and also
help keep your dye in sections.
4. Squirt dye on each section of the
shirt.
5. Continue on with the dying
process as outlined in Section 1.

Using 1 colour of dye creates the best
effect for this design. Don’t forget to
add dye to the back of
the fabric too!

gloves on before you
