Remember the fun colors and shapes from your childhood kaleidoscope? Now create them on a shirt using powdered dye and ice!
Fold damp shirt in half lengthwise and press flat on tabletop.
Pinch shirt where you would like the center of your first spiral to be, then twist fabric a few times to create a small spiral.
Maintaining first spiral, pinch another section of shirt and twist several times to create a second spiral.
Crumple the remaining fabric towards the spirals.
Bind the shirt with rubber bands to hold secure.
Make a paper ring to fit around bound shirt. This will help keep the ice in place when dyeing.
Place ice on top of bound shirt.
Instead of adding water to dye bottles to mix, squeeze dye powder of a few colors on top of ice.
Let ice melt and remove paper ring.
Flip shirt over and repeat process on the backside with additional dye powders.
Once the backside has been dyed, cut off the rubber bands, then launder according to instructions.
Get your kit and get started!
