Whether you're bored indoors or want to hop on the latest trend of wearing tie dye outfits - we've found the quickest and easiest way to tie dye yourself.
You may have made tie dye t-shirts when you went to after school art class or you spent the weekend at your nan's but the trend is officially back in.
Apparently while the country is in lockdown, tie dye is the current trend and we're not surprised to be honest. It's bright, colourful gives off spring and summer vibes.
You can of course, buy a tie dye top, jumper or co-ord from the high street or you could save some cash and recycle and reuse your old clothes and make them look brand new again.
So we've put together a five step guide so you can tie dye at home...
1. Prepare the area
Make sure you have an apron, gloves and have covered your work surface to prevent getting dye everywhere.
2. Soak your t-shirt
Whether you are tie dying a t-shirt, hoody or trousers you're going to need to soak the item of clothing in hot water first and then wring it out to get rid of any excess water.
3. Make the patterns in your t-shirt
Now for the fun part - making the patterns in your t-shirt and all you're going to need is elastic bands. Wrap the elastic bands around different areas of your t-shirt.
4. Dye your t-shirt
Once you've placed all your elastic bands on your t-shirt, it's time to get dying. So pour the fabric dye in a bucket at home along with some water and place your t-shirt in the dye so it can set. It's best to read the instructions of the fabric dye you have because the timing may vary.
5. Dry your t-shirt
After an you've left your t-shirt in the dye for however long the instructions tell you, hang your t-shirt out on your washing line and when it's fully dried you're good to go and can start wearing your t-shirt.
