  1. Gather fabric

    Before beginning, read the Tie-Dye how-to instructions and refer back to them for standard steps.

    Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

    Cover work surface with a plastic tablecloth.  Lay fabric flat on work surface.

    Decide where you want the center of sunburst to be. Pinch fabric and pull up in tube shape.

  2. Bind with rubber bands

    Place rubber band about 1” from the top, continue banding every 2-3” along length of fabric.

  3. Apply dye

    Apply dye colors between banded sections.

    Cover fabric with plastic. Let set 4 to 6 hours. 
     
    Remove rubber bands.  Fill washer to large load setting with hottest water suitable for fabric and a small amount of non-bleach laundry detergent. Wash and dry separately.
