Make Tie Dye With Fruit and Vegetables

Brighten up your wardrobe with these tie-dyed shirts made from fresh fruits and vegetables.

You will need: 100% cotton T shirts / rubber bands (optional) / marbles or small stones (optional) / fruits and vegetables for dye such as berries, beets, onion skins, etc. / other natural dyes such as herbs (mint, parsley) / spices such as turmeric/ water.

Place a large stone or ping pong ball at the center of your desired design. Secure it in place by gathering fabric around the bottom and wrapping a rubber band around it several times. Note: for best results use wider rubber bands. Next evenly distribute six smaller stones, marbles or balls around the larger stone. Secure them with rubber bands in the same manner as the large one.

Place a large stone or ping pong ball in the center of the shirt. Gather the fabric around it and secure with a rubber band. Gather the remaining fabric together and place rubber bands around the fabric every 1-2 inches.
