Doing it outdoors makes the clean up easier and less risky, but indoors is fine says Jess; "You just need a plastic sheet for covering for your surfaces, wear an apron or old clothes and definitely avoid dying over carpet. Jess recommends two types of dye: " Procion is my go to, it comes out on top with regards to bold results every time.

You can use at the end of the hand rinse and you can also put a bit in the washing machine when you do the rinse out, but only a very small amount [about a teaspoon]. It's better for experienced crafters, but not too difficult to get to grips with if you’re new to tie dying. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.We spoke to Liverpool based tie-dye technician and artist Jess Birchall of Dyenasty Dyes to find out how to get started. The nineties saw a strong revival in mainstream fashion and now once again, the expressive DIY fun is everywhere. Failing to mix or shake your dye enough will leave lumps of powder which will show up on the fabric. They open up it up, and it looks beautiful, and then they realise the next day that the dye has seeped because it's not had time to set, or the pattern disappears, and it turns into a big splodge.

There's one big no no Jess sees happen again and again: "The biggest mistake that people make, is getting too excited, untying and rinsing it before it's set. This whole t-shirt will be one big bullseye with striped rings, but you can do smaller bullseyes allover or as a centre piece. Before taking the elastic bands off, rinse in luke-warm water till the water starts to run clear, and then remove the bands and rinse in cold water for a minute or two. Spiral - "Lay the item out flat, pinch the centre of the fabric or pin with a fork, and then do a twisting motion in one direction, and it will start to gather in a spiral. TIP: You can also combine the different techniques on one item, for example a bullseye in the centre and scrunch allover the rest.Jess gives this kit a thumbs up for results; it doesn't need a soda ash soak and has a great range of 18 colours in pre-measured squeezey bottles. Better combinations for dark colours are stormy deep blues and purples, some of Jess's own favourite.

When adding dye the most fun thing about scrunch is you can just go crazy, you don't have to follow any pattern. It does need warmth to set, but if it goes dry, which the sun would cause, it stops the dye from reacting. Avoid using a combination of brown, green and orange unless you're looking for a dull dark effect she says. When you put the dye on, if there's too much water in there, the dye will spread too much which is when it gets murky," Jess says. If you want the dye to spread more with less white areas, don't put too many elastics on and don't tighten them too much.

Any combination of the primary style colours that make up a colour chart will work together she says, particularly neighbouring complimentary colours like pink and purple. Then pull it out and add band below it, however far apart you want the rings, and you just keep repeating that all the way down, depending how big you want the bullseye to be and with how many rings. When using procion dye you will need to soak your items in a sodium carbonate solution before hand (for about 15 minutes). The basic rainbow colours done in pastel shades are the most popular and the ones people will normally do first when they start out tie dying.
