4. We hope this goes without saying, but the dye will dye your clothes! Either wear an art smock or put on some old clothes you won’t mind getting messy.
5 Prepare and choose four colors to use as the dyes. If you prefer, you can just use two colors. *Pro Tip: Try mixing colors if you’re feeling extra artsy!

- Pinch the fabric and twist into a flat spiral
- Bind the spiral using elastic bands
- Apply your dyes—alternate colors with each section

8. Let it set for 6-8 hours or longer for the most vibrant colors.
9. Remove and rinse well with water until excess dye is removed.
