Tie-dying has been around a long time. The process is very simple.

# Start with a plain white cotton T-shirt that you have washed (do not use fabric softener) and dried. # Mix up your dye according to package directions. # Twist, scrunch and tie you T-shirt into a bundle. Use string or elastic bands (aka rubber bands) to hold it into shape. # Add the shirt to the dye and follow your package instructions for how long to let it set. # Remember that the colour appears darker when wet, so be sure to let it stay in the solution long enough to get the depth of color you want. # Remove the shirt from the dye, rinse, and untie. Follow package directions for "setting the color". # Hang to dry. # Wear and enjoy.

As for the dyes you can make yourself, I recommend you do a LOT of research. Most dying (even the all natural kind) is like a science experiment. You need mordants and other such things to control and set your dyes. Much as this is a fascinating process it is best left for another project. You could also make your own dye using fruits or vegetables like beetroot because they have a strong color. All you have to do is put some beetroot in a bowl of water and wait for the water to change color. The color should be strong otherwise the dye will not work. If the color is not strong enough keep adding beetroot till it is. Then when that is doe the dye should be ready. Put the shirt you want in the dye and leave it there for some time. This may even take a week. JUST TO GIVE YOU A TIP: Use hot beetroot because it works better when you dye clothes.
