Remember my mum making paintings from tie and dye years ago coming back now this technique

I remember tie dying in primary school. Our involved buckets of colour though, not bottles. I love the affect

Very funky and colourful, thank you.

yes i have tried this a long time again and it seemed like a big deal to get it done but your way is so simple

Very simple! I have done this before but much messier

Iwill give this a go today i just hope i do not end up covered in the colours!!!!

Cool. Thanks for explaining your way of dying them.

I love tie-dye! Especially on bonds suits for babies…its the cutest. 🙂

The finished product looks lovely – yet it’s so easy.

The video makes it nice and clear ! I did it some times when I was younger 🙂

This was all the rage last year. My hubby and son bought the kit and tried tie dying t-shirts with mixed results.

They look really beautiful. I did it a couple of times when I was a teenager but I remember it being quite messy!! 🙂

We formed a small working bee last year to make costumes for the school musical using techniques like this. The dyes we used did not run after you ironed the finished article and were non-toxic. We also learned a few other techniques like using Epsom Salts to absorb some of the dye for a flecked pattern and tying marbles inside some of the rubber bands to make smaller circles and ‘flowers’. So much fun, and the finished costumes in the tri-coloured finish were fantastic!

What a great idea. I haven’t don’t this since I was a kid

I remember doing that at school it was so much fun,I think I will have to do it again.

we used to do this at school – loved it!

I seriously have to do this – maybe over Easter.

  Good idea for an Easter project!

I did this at Girls Brigade, but used a very basic method. We used string instead of rubberbands. We used straight pieces of material which we made into cushion covers. Do any of the colours run using this method???

I remember tie dying in art class at high school. Looks pretty cool.
