4th of July Dyed T-Shirts: 2 Ways · Craftwhack
In that location'southward never a bad time to brand dyed t-shirts, only quaternary of July is the perfect time to gather your kids, mix upwards some cherry-red and blueish dyes, and dye shirts!
Nosotros had and so much fun tie-dyeing, but I also wanted to see what dip-dyeing would do to a t-shirt, so we tried that, too. If you've e'er dyed fabric before, y'all know how very messy it gets, then make sure to wear sometime apparel, and have gloves for everyone.
It's much easier to set this up outside, simply if you practice it inside I recommend spreading out a tarp, shower curtain, or paper-thin on your tabular array or floor to take hold of random drips of dye.

How to Make Red, White, and Blue Dyed T-Shirts
Make sure your t-shirts are pre-washed (to remove any sizing) and however damp.
Mix your dye according to the package directions: mix the dye with 8 tablespoons salt and two cups hot water, then add in enough hot water to fill the container. Nosotros just used large mixing bowls, so the dye was pretty concentrated.
For the dip-dyed t-shirt, nosotros let the very bottom of the shirt residue in the blue dye, and the very peak rest in the red dye, each in a glass mixing bowl, for about xx minutes.
For the tie-dyed shirt, we made a big spider spider web blueprint. To brand the spider spider web, you lot simple add together in safety bands in succession starting at the center of the shirt:
This one we let sit in the dye for 45 minutes. The dye package said to allow the fabric sit down in the dye for 45 minutes, only we took the dip-dyed shirt out early on and so the dye wouldn't creep up through the unabridged shirt.
Subsequently we removed the shirts from the dye baths, nosotros simply rinsed the shirts with a hose until the water ran clear. Usually with tie dye, you lot are instructed to permit the dye sit on the shirt for at least 24 hours before you rinse it, but we got impatient to meet the design…
This dye is so vibrant, and the colors are awesome!
We let the shirts dry out in the sun and then heat set them by throwing them in a hot dryer for about 20 minutes.
If you're looking for tie dye techniques, the Tulip website has lots of great ideas with directions. We're super excited to attempt some more than t-shirt dying techniques shortly!
