Tie-Dyeing

Tie-dyeing is a popular activity that many people haven't done but have always wanted to (or at least, that was the case with me).

Purchase a tie-dye kit (or multiple kits, depending on the size of your group). In small groups or where there is not allotted budget, have everyone pitch in a couple of dollars to help cover the cost of supplies.

Have every person bring a t-shirt, apron, sock, bandana, or whatever fabric thing they want to tie-dye. Depending on the directions in the kit you choose, the items may need to be pre-washed and dried.

Follow the directions on your tie-dye kit.

Make sure everyone is aware that the activity can be messy and that the dye will stain clothing, so they can dress accordingly in clothing they won't mind possibly getting stained.

Supplies:
Tie-dye kit (should have instructions, dyes, chemicals, bottles and rubber bands)
Pots and water
Plastic to protect your workspace
Fabric items to tie-dye (white cotton works best)
