You can easily dye things using the Tie-Dye method. What does it mean? Let's turn to the dictionary. “Tie” means to twist, twist, and “dye” means to paint.

The principle of painting is built on this: first of all, we twist the thing in an arbitrary manner and paint it.

In order for the drawing to turn out beautiful, you should tie the thing in several places. A banal and unremarkable white item (dress, T-shirt, scarf, T-shirt, jeans, etc.) will become bright and original.

How to prepare paint? This requires a container with a volume of 500 ml. Pour the dye into it and fill it with boiled water. For each other color we use a separate container.

As a dye, you can use any dye for clothes or dyes, for example, blue, brilliant green, furacilin solution (make the thing bright pink).

The choice is yours - paint only some places or dip the product completely.

The final step will be rinsing things in water with salt. The thing will dry in a twisted form, then we send it to the washing machine.

And now let's see how the thing will look if it is twisted as follows:

1. We paint a white scarf, a scarf. We make ties (you can use hair ties) at about the same distance and paint. In this case, you can do everything by eye.

2. Fold the T-shirt and tie evenly with a thread so that the sections look like slices of a pie.
