1.
Choose an area of your house that can get messy (just in case). Cover the
working area (table) with plenty of newspaper.
2.
Take a couple of large bowls and add the fabric dye to water according to the
instructions on the dye packaging. Be sure the water is deep enough and in
a large enough bowl to completely cover a pair of socks or a t-shirt.
3.
Dampen the socks or t-shirt with plain clear water and then bundle them up in
random ways with rubber bands.
4.
Submerge the tied up socks or t-shirt in the dye, while occasionally stirring.
It is best to wear gloves when you will be touching any dye, including non-toxic
dye.
5.
Remove the socks or t-shirt after about 30 minutes and rinse in cool water until
the water is clear.
6.
Remove the rubber bands, smooth out the socks or t-shirt and lay them on a flat
surface to dry overnight.
Be sure
to wash tie-dyed socks and shirts separately from other clothes in case the dye
continues bleeding.
