best pants to exist

i used a kit. make sure the garment you are dyeing is almost 100% cotton or the colour wont hold. these pants were 95% cotton and turned out well

You Will Need (4 things)

  • white Pants
  • Tie Dye Kit
  • Wooden Dowel
  • 2 Bucket

Steps (8 steps, 1440 minutes)

  1. 1

    soke the pants (or other thing) in water

  2. 2

    lay pants flat on floor. take a dowel or pole of sorts (i used curtain rod) and place it in center of pants. turn the dowel until the pants are a tight swirl

  3. 3

    tie the bundel with yarn,string, or elastics. make sure it's secure

  4. 4

    let bundel soke in soda ash for 20-30 minutes

  5. 5

    put the colours dye on in any pattern you want.

    i did the swirly pattern. to do that you split the bundle into 3 parts (in your mind) and put the colours on. do both sides.

    make sure to get the dye in the folds.

    i forgot to do that so there's a lot of white left.

  6. 6

    wrap in plastic-wrap and put in plastic bag. let sit for 24hr or more.

  7. 7

    rinse in warm water until it runs pretty clear. then put in washing machine with old towels

  8. 8

    now you have spiffy new pants. go frolick and be a crazy child
