The first thing is to soak the shirt in a tub of water, make sure the whole shirt gets wet.

Squeeze 4 table spoons of food coloring per quart of water

Add table salt- to the water to make the colors stand out more.

There are many designs to choose from.

I have handed out samples to show you guys.

Heat the tub of water over medium heat, in till the water begins to boil.

Insert your clothing into the dye bath and submerge it completely. Stir the clothing in the dye bath for 20 minutes while it simmers.

Rinse out the dyed clothing in warm water until the water runs clear, then rinse it with cold water.

When you are done making your shirt, make sure to wait 24- hours before washing.

Wash alone the 1st time so it want ruin your other clothes.
