Tie dye shirts can be as American as apple pie. Wearing tie dye colors is almost impossible, especially if you add your favorite rainbow loom bracelet to the mix. Some instructions recommend string, but I find rubber bands to be the most effective. It doesn't matter what you do, having fun with transforming an old tee into a rainbow masterpiece is the most important thing.

Get your shirt ready to be dyed
The best shirts are made from 100% cotton. However, you can also use 50% cotton/50% Polyester. However, the results won't be as vibrant. One time I tried to dye 100% polyester clothing and all the dye came off when it was not wrapped properly. The dyes will only bond with natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and rayon.
Presenting your choice of dyes
There are many dye kits that can be purchased at craft shops. They come with everything you need. These kits include rubber gloves, rubber bands and soda ash. They also come with complete instructions. You only need to warm water “not hot” to activate the dyes in the squeeze bottles. You can also buy single dye packages. These include the required urea, soda-ash, and instructions for mixing. If you do not have squeeze bottles, you will need to buy them separately.
get the best and brightest dyes, I thoroughly recommend them. Wear a mask if you're mixing the dye powder by yourself to ensure that the powder doesn't get into your lungs.
