Abstract Drip Dye T-shirt


I love when summer tie dye season rolls around, cause I'm always bursting at the seams with new ideas with our Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye!  I love coming up with fun new ways to use it!  This technique is very Jackson Pollack-inspired!  I absolutely love making my own abstract art on canvases, so I just transferred that idea to a shirt and I love the results, don't you? Here's how you can make your very own!



What you need:
Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit (I used the "Vibrant' 3-pack kit)
– Gildan white 100% cotton t-shirt
– Plastic table covers/trash bags

 Before you begin:  Part of the fun of this technique is you don't have to wet your fabric like you do with traditional techniques.  Simply lay the shirt on the ground or on a plastic surface cover if you want to catch the mess.
OK, let's get this party started!  With your feet planted solidly right in front of your shirt, start squeezing and squirting on your dye up and down on the front of your shirt.  I promise, the more you do this, the better "hand" you'll get for it.  The fun of tie dye is the randomness, so if you think you made a mistake, it will just add to the abstractness of the overall design!
 Continue going up and down over the right side of the shirt until you are hapy with your design!
Now go up and down over the middle of the shirt with the yellow dye! Where the yellow
 dye meets the red dye, the color will blend to orange.
 Now add blue, your final dye color!  Loving the green it made when it touched the yellow!
Finally, go back in and add any more dye you think needs to be filled in on the shirt! 

Place the shirt flat inside a trash bag and let it sit for 6-8 hours. After the dye is done setting, wash out all the dye until the water runs clear. Wash and dry the shirt by itself (only unless you are dyeing more tie dye items with it). 

Here's a closer view of the finished shirt. As you can tell, the coloring is different than the way it look when applied.  I love that the colors blended together!
And if you're curious, my colors did not bleed to the back of my shirt.  You can always turn the shirt over and do the back if you want as well!  It's your choice.

Head over to our TIE DYE YOUR SUMMER site for even more inspiration, how-to's, and fun videos to get you mega-inspired for some DIY summer fun! 

Happy Dyeing or should I say DIY-ing? –Alexa

Looks fab! If you wanted to be doubly sure there was no bleed to the back, you could cut an insert of cardboard or something stiff to keep them separated. This would also make the shirt easy to move flat, and that would be convenient if you were doing several at once.

After being in relationship with George for five years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called DR Mako and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 6pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: Makospelltemple@yahoo.com or call him :+2347054263874.

If you are trying to improve your programming assignment help skills then try to avoid using tools. As they might add some value to your knowledge but they will give no scope of practicing. Otherwise, essay typer tools are bliss, you can definitely use them for good essays.
