How to make a spiral rainbow tie dye shirt

Here are the basic supplies you will need to tie dye a t-shirt

Fill the tub with cool water half way full.

Add the soda ash and mix it

Put the t-shirt in and make sure that water is covering it. Let it sit for 20 minutes

While you are waiting for the shirt to soak, mix your dyes

It is also good to set up your dyeing station

Once the 20 minutes are up wring out the shirt as best as you can

Lay it flat on a table

In the very middle of the shirt pinch and twist a bit of the shirt

Closer look without my fingers in the way. It should stay like this because it is wet

Twist some more

Keep twisting until the whole shirt is in the twist and tuck in the edges so it is more compact

Take a rubber band and slide it over the top and under the bottom

Each rubber band should go through the middle, like a pie

Get your gloves on

Place the t-shirt on the wire rack in the sink. The rack doesn't have to fit in the sink it just needs to keep the shirt off the bottom of the sink and pools of dye

I started with red and used the rubber bands as guides

This is red and orange

Yellow and green

All of the colors on one side

Flip it over to do the back

Use the colors from the other side as your guide

All done and ready to sit

The dye must sit for at least 24 hours, so place it in a plastic bag

When you are ready rise it out and take the rubber bands off

The end result!!!
