How to Tie Dye – EASY Instructions for Beginners

Tie dye kit instructions:

Set up work surface

Protect work surface with a plastic tablecloth or trash bags. Cover with a layer of paper towels.

Prewash fabric

Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheet. Choose desired technique. If using wet technique, use directly from washer. If using dry technique, first dry fabric in dryer.

Prepare fabric

If using a flat method of dyeing, place plastic wrap or trash bag between layers of fabric to keep dye from seeping through to other side.

Mix dye

Wearing rubber gloves, add water to dye bottle, filling to line. Replace cap tightly. Shake until dye is dissolved. Use full-strength for intense colours. For a lighter shade of colour, add more water using extra bottles if needed.

Dye fabric

Apply dye on fabric, checking to make sure dye has penetrated into folds. Do not over-saturate fabric. If dye is applied too close together, the colours may become muddy.

Check backside of fabric item to make sure dye has penetrated to backside. If not, carefully flip fabric item over and add dye.

Wrap, let set, rinse

Cover dyed fabric with plastic wrap to keep damp. Let set 8-12 hours or longer for most intense colors. Fully rinse dyed fabric in warm water until all extra dye is removed and water runs clear – removing rubber bands if used.

Fill washer to large load setting with hottest water suitable for the fabric and a small amount of laundry soap. Wash and dry separately.

Wash separately the first few washes. Do not allow dyed fabric to rest wet on other items.

General Tips and Tricks for Tie Dyeing Fabrics:

Natural fibers like cotton, silk, and linen absorb dyes much easier than sythetic fabrics.

While dyes do revive old fabrics, they won’t hide stains.

If mixing dyes to create your own colour, test the dye mixture with a paper towel before putting in the fabric.

After removing the fabric from the bath, rinse it first in warm water and then in cool water until the water runs clear.

Wash the dyed fabric by itself for the first few times. You can add a small white cloth with it in the washing machine to see if it still bleeds colour.

Use hot water and powdered cleanser or bleach to clean the containers or sinks you used to dye the fabric.
