Dive into the Tie-Dye Trend
Tie-dye is a timeless and fun way to add a pop of personality to your clothes. Here's how to get started with Rit Dye and Michaels:
1. Gather Your Supplies: Along with your chosen Rit Dye, you'll need rubber bands, gloves, a large plastic container or sink for dyeing, and soda ash (to help the dye adhere to synthetic fabrics). Michaels has all these essentials conveniently available!
2. Prepare Your Fabric: Pre-wash your chosen garment(s) to remove any finishes that might interfere with the dye. For best results, use natural fibers like cotton or rayon.
3. Get Creative with Tie-Dye Techniques! From classic spiral and shibori patterns to playful crumples and pinches, the possibilities are endless. Find free, downloadable tie-dye project guides on our website for inspiration and step-by-step instructions.
4. Set the Dye and Rinse: Follow the easy instructions on your Rit Dye package to ensure vibrant, long-lasting color. Once dyed, rinse thoroughly and wash according to care instructions.
