Tie Dye
What is tie dye
Tie dye is the colorful craze of 2020, but still really is not new. Already in the sixties there was a tie dye rage and also in the nineties it came back again and now again in 2020 it is hit again. Tie diye is a dyeing technique that you use to pattern textiles. You do this by making firm buttons in the textile before you start working with paint. The patterns arise because the paint can not adhere to the knotted or tied together parts. By tying the piece of fabric in different ways, there are many different patterns to make.
Supplies
Paint: If you want to venture on the tie dye technique then you need textile paint. Today, there are simple vials of dye powder on sale. Just fill it with water and the paint is ready for use. If you like slightly brighter colors (slightly less dark) then you can choose to cut the powder in half, so you can fill the bottle twice. (see result pictures) The bottles are quite pricey, but you can do a lot with them. One disadvantage is that once you have made a bottle of paint with water you can not store for a long time. With the paint there is a manual with various knotting techniques, but especially think of your own technique.
Textiles: A piece of textile of your choice. Think of a cotton shopping bag or gym bag, a t-shirt, pants, socks, pencil case etc.
