Best Answer

Tie dying consists of twisting sections of cloth, such as parts of a cotton T-shirt, and tying them in multiple places with rubber bands. When the fabric is placed in the dye solution the dye has difficulty penetrating into the twisted parts. Various colorful patterns will be seen on the cloth when the dying is finished and the rubber bands are removed.

Then, if you like, tie it up again and repeat the process using a different colored dye.

How does tie dyeing work?

Tie-dying is pretty much explained in the phrase: you twist then tie fabric, then dip sections into dyes. You can use strips of fabric as ties-- the result will be less defined, more feathery edges along the dye's borders. Or, the most effective way is to use medium to wide rubber bands, which will result in a straighter border between sections. Anyplace that is 'tied' will be white when untwisted and untied. The other sections will be colored with the dye you used. The best artistic results are to twist and tie the garment, and then take opposing sections of twisted/tied fabric, and tie opposing sections together with rubber bands. You can also do the basic twist and tie, let it dry with rubber bands in place, then later, undo the first ties and twist and tie the garment in a different way to expose some white sections and dye only parts of the white with a new color unused before in this garment.
