What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Tie-Dye Kit with Squeeze Bottles
RequiredA starter kit gives you pre-mixed dye colors, squeeze bottles for application, rubber bands, and gloves — everything you need for your first several projects.
White Cotton T-Shirts (pack)
Required100% cotton takes dye the best — avoid polyester blends or your colors will come out dull. A multi-pack gives you plenty of fabric to experiment with.
Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye Set
