Folding
- Lay the shirt out on a flat surface (damp shirts are easier to work with)
- Pinch the center(or wherever you wish the bullseye to begin) and lift the shirt up
- Tie a rubber band about an inch below where you have pinched the fabric
- Tie another an inch below, and keep repeating until you are at the end
- Or you can vary lengths between rubber bands depending on the type of design you desire
- Soak in the soda ash solution for 20 minutes and wring out excess
Dyeing
Once you have created the sections with the rubber bands, the dyeing process is easy.
- Simply, put a different color dye in each of the sections
- Flip the fabric over and do the same on the other side.
- You do not want to dye pooling out of the shirt, so make sure not to oversaturate the shirt
- Let the shirt dry outside for 24 hours
