Tie&Dye, painting on clothes and handkerchief, use Fabric colours (Acrylic)only

If you’re looking for a little DIY project that will save your old clothing, while also breathing new life into it, then there’s nothing better than tying and dyeing them! Before we get to the ‘how to’ part though, we think it’ll be fun to look at and read all about how this art form came into being, what made it so popular, and how it evolved around the world!
A vivid history of Tie & Dye.
Also known as ‘Bandhani’ in India, tie and dye is one of the oldest art forms to exist, with references dating back to the prehistoric era. Yes, it is now all over the runways and our Instagram feeds, but the traditional tie and dye techniques have been around for centuries, evolving into several forms now.
Often related to the hippie culture and known to denote self expression, tie & dye might be a favorite among the free-spirited wanderers but it holds a lot more cultural significance than that. From being in the spotlight in the 1960s to being in the spotlight even today, tie & dye has sure come a really long way.
Things you’ll need for tie and dye designs.
The charm about tie and dye techniques remains in the fact that although it is done in factories and by skilled craftsmen, a lot of basic types of the artform can be done right from the comfort of your home.
If you have younger cousins coming to visit over the holidays, this might just be the perfect activity to indulge them in! Besides, it will give you a brand new outfit and earn some praises from your peers. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of all the things you require!
A couple of pairs of disposable rubber or polythene gloves.
Rubber bands. Lots and lots of rubber bands. (Alternatively, you can also use thick threads.)
Preferred cotton fabric, hoodies or t-shirt. Canvas shoes will work too.
Plastic surface cover or sheet.
Squeeze bottles.
Dyes.
Step 1: Layout your t shirt or fabric on a plastic surface sheet neatly. Make sure there are no wrinkles.
Step 2: Starting from the bottom, make accordion folds on your way up. Once done, do the same in the other direction too, i.e. left to right or right to left.
Step 3: Take a couple of rubber bands and tightly wrap them around both directions of the fold. Make sure the band doesn’t break.
Step 4: Now, it’s time to dye! Put on your gloves, mix some dark blue and indigo dye in a squeeze bottle, since indigo is the primary color used for this technique. Now, start pouring the dye on the exposed bits of your chosen fabric.
Step 5: Once done, put the bunched up fabric into a plastic bag. Seal tightly. Leave it to rest for a little over 7 hours and nothing less than that.
Step 6: After the allotted time ends, take it out and open it up! Put it on a hanger and leave it to dry. You have now aced the shibori tie and dye t-shirt!
