Stars and Stripes

To create the Stars and Stripes pattern, begin by taking your small hair elastics and make tiny bunches at the top of the shirt. Take the bottom of the shirt and scrunch it up in the middle, and take larger rubber bands to create a stripes pattern.

Large rubber bands for stripes Tiny hair elastics making stars

Swirl Lay the shirt out flat, pinch it right in the middle and start to twist. Make sure the sleeves wrap the same direction as you are twisting. Use larger rubber bands to keep the swirl together. Use the Demin blue dye at the top of the shirt, making sure to keep the tiny bunches white. For the bottom stripes, use your Cherry Red and dye every other stripe.

If you want the Swirl shirt more white, leave some sections white. If you want more color, cover the top and bottom of the shirt in dye. Rinse

Leave your shirts wrapped in plastic wrap out to dry in the sun. Once they are dry, rise the shirts to get out all of the extra dye (Make sure to rinse thoroughly). Once the water runs clear, Remove the rubber bands and take a look at your new creations!
