The process is actually quite easy and could be used to dye just about any type of garment from a skirt to a shirt or tank top. I chose to dye my fabric and then assemble my skirt, but it's just fine to use an inexpensive, plain, white skirt, dress, shirt, tank top or cami from the store.
Materials
- clean, white article of clothing or fabric
- marbles
- rubber bands
- RIT liquid fabric dye
- empty, plastic sports top water bottle
- cooling rack
- plastic tub or bucket
- large zipper bag
- rubber gloves (optional)
Directions
Once your dye is mixed, carefully pour it into a water bottle and attach the lid.
Remove the fabric from the bag and rinse it with water until the water runs clear.
Carefully remove all of the rubber bands and marbles and rinse your fabric again. Wash and dry your fabric separately for the first few time to make sure no dye bleeds onto your other clothes.
Like I said before, I am extremely pleased with how my skirt finally turned out, even if it took me a few attempts. Here's the skirt I created compared to a similar dyed skirt that I bought at the store. Not too bad, if I do say so myself!
