I don't think I have ever done tie-dye and recently, I got the idea that we should try it. We used RIT dye with some hot water and set up our operations at the table. I don't have a lot of photos from the activity because I was too busy making shirts for myself.
This was an easy activity that we all enjoyed. The results looked great, nobody spilled any of the buckets, and it was cheap.
BUT. . . The colors that we initially saw were faded quickly during a first wash. In addition, the red didn't seem to set because we washed the red shirts together and they all bled into the white - making pink shirts. Most of what we made still looks good and the kids had a great time making it and now I can say that I've done tie-dye.

My classroom mom wanted to tiedye shirts during a class party one year. There was no way I was going to do that with 22 kids! Looks like fun with just a couple though!
