DIY Patriotic Tie Dye

Shirt Prep Start by washing the white shirts to remove any chemicals that may affect the dying process. A quick wash in the sink with laundry detergent will do just fine. Pick a Pattern You will want to ring out the water, but leave the shirts damp. Next, decide what design you want and get your rubber bands ready. Use smaller hair elastics to do sports and larger rubber bands to hold the swirls together.
