To tie-dye a hat, you will need:
White cotton hat
10 rubber bands
4 or 5 gallon bucket
Red or blue fabric dye
Paint stir stick
Paper towels
Scissors
Step 1: Soak your hat in cold water. Remove from water and wring water out. Empty water from bucket.
Wrap a rubber band tightly around the center of the hat. Place one hand under the hat and poke up a portion of the hat in the center. Tightly wrap a rubber band around the poke so that about one inch of the hat is gathered above band.
Step 2: Repeat on both sides of rubber-banded section, about three inches to the outside and about three inches above the first banded section. Do two more sections about three inches to the outside and about three inches below the center banded section. Poke up a section in the center front of the hat and wrap a rubber band around the section.
The final 4 rubber bands will be used for the cap's brim. Crisscross four rubber bands across the brim of the hat, two from left to right and two from right to left.
Step 3: Wearing rubber gloves, fill bucket with hot water. Add a packet of dye and mix.
Step 4: Put your hat in dye bath (wear rubber gloves when you do this!). Use a paint stick to push down. After 30 minutes, remove hat from dye bath. Blot the hat with paper towels.
Step 5: Run cold water over hat until water runs clear. Cut rubber bands off. Let air dry.
