I always loved tie die when I dipped rubber bands T-shirt in tanks Rit Dye in primary school. The colors and patterns are magical, but the fun part was wearing my creation!

A few years later and I was in Brightside Tie Dye Emporium in Brattleboro, VT. Upon check-out with a bag of candy, I noticed a small sign that announced that the owner of a class in the current band was dying. I was immediately, and soon learned the secrets of contact with eyesFang, light-resistant T-shirts in a myriad of colors and patterns. Moreover, the information used, the cuts in local markets, farmers sell their products, I was at school and summer camp so that children could make beautiful pieces of their own. The pride showed when wearing T-shirts they did was justified. They were truly magnificent.

I am pleased to describe the procedure that I have with groups of children. I'm sure there are other and better ways, but it was good for me.The colors are used for Procion fiber reactive dyes. I bought more as a dry powder so that the color would have a much longer shelf life. If you do this to a limited extent, try to think of three or more colors. Do not forget, can be mixed colors! Dyes, chemicals and squirt bottles can be purchased from the sources referred to the end of this article, although there are some other suppliers are not there. Pro simply happen to the company I used. They also sell small booklets describing howbe attracted to certain patterns, it is worth a few dollars of cost. All other materials can be purchased at the local Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or grocery store. It 'important that the T-shirt, I wanted to fade and last a long, long, long time. If fading is not a problem, Rit dyes are much less expensive and easier to use. If you have something that is consumed regularly and want to create stunning still three years from now, here's the deal …

Here is our draw for the group of death.There is much work, so roll up your sleeves and get the voluntary cooperation of parents!

1) You buy the shirts for sale. We obtain large and Xlarge for pupils in the sixth. I do not take into account any pride when we make the shirts. Nobody I met who wants a shirt that seems spandex! I have several mothers in 4XL, and when they said they would use them for sleep-shirt, certainly seemed quiet!

2) You now need to wash the shirts that was to eliminate all traces of grease on the threads from the leftTransformation. Wash-shirt in hot water with soda or cup of Pro Dye Activator and ¼ cup Synthrapol. Rinse with COLD. Dry-shirts

3) Put a different number on the day of each shirt in permanent marker.

4) A solution of 5 liters of tap water to 3 cups of soda or Pro Dye Activator. Are four or five games of this need in a bathtub. I mean sink great for them. Add up to 18 shirts at a time and let the solution for 15 minutes.Wearing rubber gloves, squeeze and put in the dishwasher. Washing machine for the final spin, spin, and without water in the tub for rinsing. Shirts Place in a garbage bag to prevent drying out.

5) Mix the colors with distilled water until a week before he died. One liter of distilled water in an old blender, add the following:

¼ cup of dye

Fuchsia

Bright Orange

Golden

Deep Purple

Raspberry (purple)

½ cupDye

Foam (Turquoise!)

Kelly Green

Cobalt Blue (foams!)

1 cup of dye

Better Black

6) Save the dyes in spray bottles, clean milk.

7) Keep folded shirts on a grid "table" when to die.

Wrap poached Seran wrap. Want to create a kitchen / restaurant supplies.

Let 9) shirts sit two days rich.

10) When filling Washer (Top Loading only), remove the rubber bands from clothing (rubber gloves) and throw in the washing machine (12 to 18).Wash and rinse in cold. Then wash with hot synthrapol ¼ cup and rinse in cold. Dry in dryer.

11) wash with dark clothes, the first few times, but his shirt is colorfast.
