Materials You Need to Make Your Own Awesome Tie Dye T-Shirts:

Easy, No- Mess Instructions for an Easy Tie Dye T-Shirt:

1. Stretch the t-shirt over the piece of cardboard. You can use clips to keep the t-shirt from moving.

2. With the permanent markers make dots to outline whatever shape or letter that you want to make or design.

3. Use the eye droppers to drop the rubbing alcohol on the permanent marker dots. Watch the colors spread! The more alcohol that you use the more the colors will spread.

4. Let the t-shirt dry thoroughly. You can soak it in vinegar to set the colors but we did not bother with that step. Then wash and dry as you normally would.
