1.   Tie a piece of cotton cord around the chest area of the T-shirt and wind it around several times. Tie a tight knot at the end to secure the cotton cord. The area with the tied-on cotton cord will appear the lightest after the tie-dyeing process.

3.   Wear plastic gloves and begin the dyeing with the lightest of the chosen colours using the dip'n dye technique. Dissolve half a bottle of fabric dye (50ml) and 100g fixing agent. Read more about the mixing ratio on the fabric dye package – eg. if large quantities of fabric and colour need to be adjusted. NB: Use several tubs as all the colours may be prepared in advance allowing the process to run smoothly.

A TIP   Half a bottle of fabric dye (50 ml) in 5 liters of water is sufficient for fully dyeing two T-shirts. This amount, however, is sufficient for dyeing approx. 8 T-shirts in the same solution when using the dip'n dye technique.
