Learn How to Tie-Dye: Full Tutorials for Amazing Techniques
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we celebrate the creative and crafty in everyone. And friends, there are some very creative people out there.
If you’re here getting a few fun tie-dye craft ideas, I wanted to let you know about the kit we use. We tried 2 different kits and I will say that this tie-dye kit performed best on shirts, terry cloth, and a thick canvas tote bag.
I also wanted to share where we learned the basics and how to tie-dye. To be honest, this site took us far beyond the basics to learn absolutely stunning tie-dye patterns: Tie Dye Your Summer.
Just look at some – yes, this is just some – of the tie-dye techniques you can create.
