In Mrs. Anderson’s chemistry class the student did an experiment that they could take home: tie dye shirts. The process took around two days to complete and was fun and also informational.
Step 1: Soak the shirts in sodium carbonate for 24 hours prior to dyeing
Step 2: After 24 hours remove the t-shirt from the solution and twist into a spiral
Step 3: Separate the shirt into segments with 4 rubberbands
Step 4: Pick which colors you want to dye the shirt (blue and red)
Step 5: Dye the segments on the first side
Step 6: Dye the second side with the corresponding colors
Step 7: Wrap the shirt in newspaper and put it in a plastic bag
Step 8: Leave for 24 hours and then wash out the dye in a bathtub and leave to dry
Step 9: Wear and enjoy
