Tie Dyed Sheet


Materials:
*Fabric dye
*Rubber bands
*White or light colored sheet.

Directions:
*Divide the sheet into sections using rubber bands.  You should end up with something that looks kind of like this:


*Prepare dye solution in your sink according to the directions on the dye bottle.
*One by one, dip each section of your sheet into the dye solution, holding it in the dye for about 3 seconds.  This part can get very messy, so you shoud probably wear clothes that you wouldn't mind staining.
*Rinse the sheet under warm water, then throw in the washing machine with the rubber bands still on.
*Once the sheet is done washing, remove the rubber bands and set it out to dry.
Note: you can use the remaining dye in the dye bath to tie dye other things like T-shirts, towels, etc using the same method.  I tie dyed a T-shirt using the excess dye.
