Resist and Drape Tie Dye Techniques

Use these special tie-dye techniques from I Love to Create to create a unique result on your fabric. Dots of glue help create the interesting design in this tie-dye technique.

 

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.
