To get started with tie-dye, you'll need some basic materials and supplies. Here's a list of what you'll typically require:
White Cotton Items: This can include T-shirts, tank tops, socks, bandanas, or any other cotton fabric you'd like to dye. Make sure they are prewashed and damp before dyeing.
Fabric Dye: You'll need fabric dye in various colors. Popular brands like Rit and Tulip offer a wide range of colors. You can use liquid or powder dyes.
Plastic Squeeze Bottles: These are used to mix and apply the dye to your fabric. You can get bottles specifically designed for tie-dye.
Rubber Bands: These are essential for binding and securing your fabric to create different patterns.
Plastic or Rubber Gloves: Wearing gloves is important to protect your hands from dye and to avoid staining your skin.
Plastic Table Cover or Trash Bags: To protect your work surface from dye splatters and spills.
Plastic Bags or Plastic Wrap: You'll need these to wrap the dyed fabric in after applying the dye to let it set.
Sink or Bucket: For rinsing your dyed items after they've set.
Mild Detergent: You'll use this to wash the dyed items after they've set and rinsed.
Water Source: Access to water for rinsing and washing your dyed items.
Optional: Protective Eyewear: To protect your eyes from dye splatters.
Optional: Apron or Old Clothes: Wearing old clothes can help you avoid staining your good attire.
