Instructions
Floral glue resist dye tote bag
This uncommon tie dye technique uses glue to take your tie dye to the next level! Use Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue to create fun patterns on fabric like this fun tote bag, let dry, and tie dye with your favorite Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit as usual. Remove the dried glue to reveal your unique resist designs!
Kaleidoscope ice dye shirt
This tricked-out tie-dye shirt is just like the kaleidoscopes you’ve played with as a kid! With all of its colors and winding patterns, it's no wonder we called this uncommon tie dye technique the Kaleidoscope Ice Tie-Dye Technique. For this colorful T-shirt, you'll want a larger tie-dye kit so you can use a lot of different dye colors!
Project 3: Marble Tie-Dye Shoes
Did you know you can pair Tulip One-Step Tie Dye with shaving cream to create some seriously cool swirled effects? It's super easy to do, and the uncommon marbling tie-dye technique produces something different every time you try it! Your kicks will be a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes that can’t be duped!
Project 4: Reverse Dye
This reverse tie dye technique is great for anyone who’s looking to stand out with an uncommon tie dye technique! It’s just like regular tie dye, but instead of adding color to white fabric, you remove color from black fabric using the Tulip Reverse Tie-Dye Kit! Once the color has been removed, add new color to your designs with your favorite One-Step Dyes. And remember, there’s no wrong way to tie dye!
Project 5: Shibori Tie Dye
The popularity of the shibori tie dye technique is hotter than ever! Try this uncommon tie dye technique with the Tulip One-Step Shibori Tie-Dye Kit. Shibori looks great on more than just t-shirts; try it on pants, sweaters, furniture, and more!
