Use a sponge to create stripes on a plain shirt or other fabric with tie-dye. Try several different colors together for a different look. Learn how with help of photos.

 

Before beginning any tie-dye project, read the instructions for the Tulip One-Step Fashion Dye or Tulip Permanent Fabric Dye.  Refer back to them for standard steps with using dye.

 

Stripe 1 Mix dye


Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets.
Cover work surface with a plastic tablecloth.

Add water to dye bottles. Shake to mix. Pour dye into plastic bowl.

Stripe 2 Dip sponge in dye


Lay shirt flat on working surface. Insert shirtboard or coated cardboard between layers.

Dip one end of dry sponge in dye.

Stripe 3 Create crisp or fuzzy stripes


Wipe dye across dry fabric for a more lined look or wipe across wet fabric for a softer striped look. Use a clean sponge for each color.

When finished painting stripes, cover fabric with plastic. Let set 4 to 6 hours.

Fill washer to large load setting with hottest water suitable for fabric and a small amount of non-bleach laundry detergent. Wash and dry separately.
