You will also need:
* A white shirt
Mix the dye following the manufacturers instructions - with this kit it was simply to add water into the bottles and then give them a good shake.
TIP: wear gloves to save staining your hands.
Apply the dye to every other space, rotating the shirt as you go.
Repeat with the other dye colour. Don’t worry if the colours bleed a little, it all adds to the effect.
Rinse with cold water until it runs clear, then wash in the washing machine as per the garments care label.
Once the garment is dry, give it a quick steam/iron to remove any creases (following the tie dye packaging instructions).
The shirt is then ready to be worn!
