How to tie dye?
It has been decades since my art teacher taught us how to tie dye things. I thought that I remembered, but my last attempt was a real flop. Can anyone give me a refresher course?

One way you can try is place a large container on your counter/table or where ever you're doing It, place a cooling rack over the top, lay your item you want to dye flat on the cooling rack & pile ice on it all over, and put drops of dye all over the ice, which ever colors you want to use then let the ice melt.
Hi Jack - This is a fun and all-natural method to tie dye. You can use it for T-shirts or any cotton material. It's a fun project for the kids too. Hope it helps with some inspiration. Hugs, Holly
