Read all dye instructions before beginning project
Follow the directions on your dye kit
Put on gloves and add water to your dye powder in the bottles
Refer to photo (above) for color and design placement
Start with a damp T-Shirt that has been washed to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener
Put on gloves
Squeeze dye onto the bottom edge of the t-shirt
Use a paintbrush to pull the dye upwards
Add water to your paintbrush, before pulling the dye upwards as you go lighter
Continue until you achieve the look you want
Place your finished t-shirt into a plastic bag for 6-8 hours.
Follow the instructions on the kit for rinsing and washing!
For the blue ombre on the shirt, I used this same tie-dye technique starting from the top of the shirt and pulling down. For the purple going up I added a bit of free pour design to it.
Beginner Tie-Dye Technique
What a great way to start summer listening to music and dying t-shirts! Sammie is using the direct pour method! This is the same method I used to create the design on the bottom of my sleeveless t-shirt.
Supervision will be required for tie-dying with older kids, tweens, and teens.
Honestly, this is such a fun summer craft to do with older kids, tweens, and teens!
This post was updated from our summer of Joann crafts. We received a gift card to purchase items for creating a tie-dye project. Need a helpful video to see? DIY Ombre Tie-Dye Technique
Will you try making/DIY tie dye ombré t-shirts? Have you tie dyed before?
Thanks Crystal! They are super pretty colors & vibrant!
That seems like fun! And cute! My teen was trying to tie dye cut-off jeans yesterday. Of course, she was using her own concoction of bleach and food coloring. I told her food coloingr is going to come out when washed, at least I think it will. I’m anxiously awaiting to see how her project comes out today. However, I think she could’ve used that Tie Dye Kit right about now.
Yes, she should get a kit. They are inexpensive & can even get smaller size kits as well as larger ones too. The bleach will work on her jeans, but it will eventually eat a hole in them. I do believe. Let me know how they turn out!
