Tie-dyed T-shirts.

Materials

• 100-percent-cotton T-shirt
• Rubber bands
• Buckets or dish tubs (4-quart minimum)
• 2 or more colors of fabric dye
• Salt (1 cup per dye bath)

• Rubber bands and marbles and/or coins
• Spray bottles and plastic squeeze bottles
• Sealable plastic bags
• Latex gloves

Instructions

1. Tie It
   
   Lay the shirt on a flat surface and decide where you want your design center to be. Pinch this up and fasten it tightly with a rubber band one inch from the top.

2. Continue fastening the shirt with rubber bands in 2- to 3-inch sections.

3. Dye It
   
   Fill 4-quart buckets with your prepared dye baths. If you want to use just one color, dunk your whole shirt into that bucket and let it soak for 5 minutes. If you want a multicolored design, dunk the chosen sections of the shirt in the dye and hold it there for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it soaks, the more vibrant the results.
