Any good tips for tie dying?

Using a dye fixer, like alum, will help prevent the dye from washing out (and thus, fading) really fast.

You have to wash the items first, before you dye them, because new things have a starchy filler in them to keep them fresh while being shipped.

Try this brand of dye.

Oh dear, when I first read this question, I thought it said “any good tips for dying?” That would have been so much more interesting a question.

@daloon i was wondering what inspired your other question! i feel like i just stumbled upon one of The Secrets of Daloon’s Awesome Questions

Serendipity!

Take the thing you want to tye die, put many, many rubberbands on and then tye die in bright colors. It will be beautiful!
