If you’re working outside, you’ll want to have something laid on the ground to protect your garment from getting dirty during the tie dyeing process.
You can get creative with your designs or you can just bunch up the fabric and put rubber bands on it to get a random and totally unique look. As closely tied as the rubber band or the string you use will be, the tenser removing it will become. If you want, instead of removing, you can cut off the rubber bands carefully, in the end.
If you hand wash your garment, make sure to leave on your gloves until you’ve finished rinsing it so you don’t come into contact with any bleach. Have your bathtub rinsed well if you washed in it.
