italian shirt
What you will need:
-Tulip 12-Color Super Big Tie Dye Kit (Others are available, but this is the best brand with the most colors)
-Pack of white italian shirt
-Grocery bags
-Rubber bands (The kit supplies rubber bands, but you might need more)
All of the supplies can be found at Wal-Mart.
First, wet your italian shirt one-by-one, but not soaking wet. Wring them out and put them into separate grocery bags. Make sure no holes are in the bags.
Second, take out the shirt and place it onto a flat surface. Choose the design you would like your shirt to look like. Most people go with the spiral choice.
The best way to do the spiral, is to place the shirt on the table completely flat, with the back facing up. Decide where you want your spiral to begin. You can use a butter knife to start spinning, but I use a flat head screwdriver. Place said screwdriver or butter knife on the desired point. make sure you put enough pressure so you have a grip on both sides of the damp shirt, but not so much that you poke a hole through. Start spinning until all excess parts of the shirt are a part of the spiral. Then, put rubber bands into sixths on the shirt. So now your shirt should look like a pizza put into sixths. Flip the shirt over to the front, and now you're ready to put the dye on it. When you do put the dye on, if you want more white than color in your shirt, don't put as much dye. If you put so much until it bleeds through the bottom, then your shirt will have less to no white at all.
Put your finished shirt into one of the grocery bags, tie, and wait until the next day to rinse and wash. I know the kit says to only wait 6-8 hours, but if you want your shirt to be more intense, and not fade, then I suggest you wait a full day.
To make the sun bursts designs, lay the shirt flat, pinch points you want a different color and rubberband them at the ends to make them look like mini mountains on your shirt. Then dye the tips of the "mountains". Now dye the rest of the shirt a different color. Leave for 24 hours, rinse, wash, dry, now it's ready to wear.
To make stripes, lay your shirt flat, start at the end on the shirt, and roll it upward. Then, rubberband it to separate the different colors you're about to put in it. Then dye.
Last technique I will teach you will be the bulls-eye design. Lay your shirt flat, pinch the middle and lift the shirt, rubberband the tip, then work your way down. How many sections you rubberband, will be how many colors to use.
