  • (2) Plastic bowls
  • Scissors
  • 3"-4" flat brush

  2. Lay damp shirt out smoothly on covered work area.
  3. Mix dyes as directed and pour approximately half of each color into the two plastic bowls.
  4. Add a third to half as much water to each color to dilute.
  5. Brush one of the diluted colors down one side of shirt, making sure dye saturates to the back side.

  10. Insert a single strip on both open ends and stitch to make ties.
