Tips on Learning Tie Dye Techniques For Creating Your Own Shirt

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Wholesale Tyedye Apparel

There is something funny about tie dye shirts in that so few of us own them but when we see someone wearing one at the beach or the park we wish that we had at least one of them to wear when we feel a little bit crazy.

 

 

Tie dye shirts aren’t hard to make and in fact its fun to invite some friends over and have a tie dye party. One thing you will want to do is set up a table outside, because messing with dyes inside of your dwelling is just an all around bad idea.

 

Start out with brand new t-shirts, because they take the dye better then an older one. There are several types of fabric dye that are available from any art supply store and it is best to start out with the "cold water" variety at first.

 

Also, you will want to pick up a couple of five gallon buckets and a few pairs of thick rubber dish washing gloves while you are at it. When you tie your shirt off you will get different results depending on if you tie the ties tight or loose, so you might consider doing some experimenting at first.

One great way to learn some quick techniques is to use some cloth swatches, so you don’t ruin shirts while you are learning. The trick is to not go crazy with colors at first until you learn how to use them and you will want to start wit the lighter colors first, progressing to the darker colors as you die your shirt or whatever else it is that you are dying. Also don’t worry if your first try doesn’t work out, because through trial and error, in time, you will be a master at the craft.

Tie Die Custom Tshirts

Tie Die Custom Tshirts

One of the clothes I desire the most about when I was younger is the fact that I do not have any personalized clothing anymore.

As a child growing up and quite engaged in Girl Scouts, it appeared like we were creating our own clothing any instance we turned around.

We used tee paints on some, and we tye dyed some, and we splatter painted some. It appeared fun every time we did one, because it seemed like it was continuously something new that we were attempting on them to see how it ended up! It was a sort of an adventure to us, in my mind.

Now you have silk process and such, as well as the ancient ball point type paints and t shirt paints and tye dye ways that we used to employ.

I remember one t shirt that our Girl Scout troop had completed. They employed tshirt paints to create the design, but for the starting piece of the motif, they made dots on paint on the shirt, which was on a major piece of cardboard, and then they put it in a device and rotated it, and it made the dots of paint splay out away from the center of the t shirt. Man, I continuously thought that was the coolest t shirt we had ever had created.

Why not check it out, and do some research? Maybe begin a fresh fad in the neighborhood!
