tie dye apron


What you need:
dye
salt
fabric
string or elastic bands


First you get the fabric and pleat it:

Then put an elastic band or string on it tightly.


 Keep putting elastic bands or string on tightly  until it looks like this.

You mix your dye and salt with water in a bucket  until it looks like this.
You put your fabric in for about a few hours (wear rubber gloves).

When you take it out and you've taken off the string or elastic bands off and it has been in the washing machine and it is dry it would have a pattern on it. Where it had elastic bands or string it is the colour of the fabric underneath.

I hope your dog doesn't lay on it!

Then you cut around an old apron.

So it looks like this:

This is what it looks like when it's finished. My mum made mine for me.

I hope you like it. Have you done any tie dye before?
