If you were to tie dye a T-Shirt, here's how to do it.

First, you buy supplies: a plain white T-Shirt, rubber bands, a newspaper and tie dye paint or fabric paint (preferably in a spray bottle)

Now for the tie-dying-part.

1. Cover your work surface with the newspaper.

2. Then spread out your T-Shirt on a surface (without the paper)

3. Grab your T-Shirt somewhere and slowly lift it up (in the middle is where most people do it)

4. Lift it all the way, then gently gather the shirt

5. Tie rubber bands around it, starting from the top and going all the way down, leaving space in between it. Try out some styles and spaces to create awesomeness!

6. If you were to use the tie dye paint, use it as it says in the instructions. If you use spray fabric paint, spray it on the shirt, (on the newspapered surface!) and gently turn it around until all is covered.

7. Let the shirt dry and then get the bands off.

8. Wear your shirt with pride. You've made it yourself! :D

If it doesn't come in a spray bottle you can put it in a tub and dip each bunch of elastic in and if you have differant colors then put them in other tubs and dip other elastic parts that are not done yet in the other colors for more color!
