Before beginning any tie-dye craft 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.

Create circles

Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Cover work surface with a plastic tablecloth. Lay fabric flat on work surface. Decide where you want the circles to be. Pinch fabric and bind with rubber band.

Add more circles

Continue placing circles on fabric, making as many as desired. Wearing rubber gloves, add water to dye bottle. Replace cap tightly. Shake until dye is dissolved. Use full-strength for intense colors. For a lighter shade of color, add more water using extra bottle if needed. Apply dye on fabric, checking to make sure dye has penetrated. Do not over saturate fabric. If dye is applied too close together the colors may become muddy. Cover fabric with plastic. Let set 4 to 6 hours. Remove rubber bands. 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.
