Tie Dye: Expressing With Colors

Hallo! Last Monday me and my friends did some works of art: Tie Dye! We tried to make it as colorful as we could! Here's my group's result:



And other group's results:



They're pretty right? We made all these colorful fabric with  the materials below:
Cotton 1x1 m
Kettle and stove

textile dyes
Water


A spoon
marbles

sharp scisscor


little rocks
Salt


Big plastic bowl
thread
Raffia fibre

Steps:
1. Turn on the stove
2. Pour the water into the kettle and boil it.
3. Cut the cotton fabric into the size that you need.
4. Because there are so many techniques to make different patterns, in here I'll tell you in general. But the point is, you have to tie the fabric, whether you're using the  rubber, raffia fibre, thread or anything. And you can modificate it using rocks, marbles, or try different folds.
5. pour the tint into a bowl.
6. sprinkle half handful of salt.
7. Pour the water into the bowl.
8. stir it using spoon
9. dye the fabric anyhow you want!
10. If you feel that it's the final color you want, then untie all the threads!
11. And voila! The fabric i now tie dyed! You can sew the fabric into something like pencil cas, tote bags, or tablecloth.

Aaand someone took some photos of us while we were doing tie dye:
