In this video I will show you how to make tie-dye t-shirts - 2 easy methods to try at home!
Tie-dye techniques for beginners.
• TIE DYE (batik or Shibori) its an amazing technique to create colorful patterns on textiles •
We will be applying this technique to 100% Cotton T-shirts just using string or rubber bands.
• I will be using Acrilex Fabric Paint, its excellent to paint on fabrics especially cotton. It is made in Brazil and has been in the market for many years.
This is a textile ink that is available in any craft store in my country Portugal,
I sure you will find different textile ink or tie dye kits in your country just use want you can find and follow the instruction of the ink you will use.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ACRILEX FABRIC PAINT:
Wash-resistant
Excellent coverage
Cold fixation
Intermixable colors
Ready for use
Higher yield
Can be applied with brush, sponge or rubber stamp, on cotton fabrics only (non-synthetic).
Wash the fabric only 72 hours after application.
The reason I chose these type of paint is because the colors are really vibrant, and it sticks really nice to the textile. You can wash as many times as you want, the color will not fade after washing.
Also they have a enormous range of colors, Matt, Metallic and Glitter.
You can find them online or look in your local craft store for some fabric paint. :)
