Tie Dye Sample

This was my first attempt at Tie Dye so i tried first with a simpler Fabric so i choose A4 Cotton.
To start the process i placed a marble in the middle of the fabric then with a rubber band i wrap that under the marble , this process continued by wrapping 3 more Bands round this completed the preparation.
The fabric dye used was Procion i began dipping the marble end of the fabric in the dye in used the colours pink and blue to complete the job i worked my way down the fabric until the whole thing was died.
If i look back on it now i would choose brighter colours so they would of stood out .
Once i my material has dried i untied the bands and took out the marble , i then proceeded to heat press at temperature of 180 for 20 seconds to lock in the colour. Once the colour had been locked in i took my Tie Dye sample to the sink where i washed the fabric for the final step and left to dry.
