The other night, my new fiance and I, decided to get some plain white shirts and tie dye. You can buy the whole kit at Walmart for around 10-15 dollars. The shirts are right there on the shelf for not more than 5 dollars.
The instructions are right on the tie dye kit:
damp the shirt with warm water
twist your shirt and rubberband it
just add water to the tie-dye water
put on the gloves and tie-dye away
After your done tie-dying your shirts, you will want to put them in plastic bags and let them sit for at least 10 hours. On the instructions it says at least 8. I have found that the longer you let your shirt sit, it will seep in the color more. So if you want your shirt bright, then let it sit longer.
After it sits, rinse out the color until it runs clear in the bathtub. The dye won't stain your tub, so don't worry. Then put it in a large cycle in the washing machine on hot....let it dray and
badda bing, badda boom, you have matching tie dye shirts with the one you love or like or maybe you don't like them too much because they are strange.
Note: This date can be even cheaper if you do it with another couple or 2 other couples.
One tie dye kit can make about 5-6 shirts.
