Tie Dye Party Games and Activities

  • Find an area that you can make a bit of a mess e.g., backyard, garage, basement, etc. This can be a messy activity.
  • Make two areas: a prep station and a dye station
  • Wear rubber gloves. You don’t want your hands to match your new clothes (make sure you have enough for all your guests)
  • You can purchase a tie dye kit
  • Have many different containers available. Large bowls or buckets
  • Add some fabric die or bleach into the different dye bottles (once the dye is mixed it needs to be used within ½ hour to keep the colors crisp)
  • Select the shirt you would like to die. Favorites are tank tops and t-shirts, but you can be creative and tie dye anything. Think outside of the box – e.g., night gowns at a pyjama party. * fabric needs to be 100% cotton and pre-wash items
  • Roll up your shirt and place elastics around it (keep it tight) The different ways that you roll and tie your shirt will create different patterns
  • Squirt the shirt with the dye. Select an arrangement of colors
  • When you have all the colors you wish on the shirt take off the elastics and lay flat to dry
  • Then when the shirt has dried throw it in your washing machine (alone) washing out any excess die. (best to wash the next day)
  • Enjoy wearing your creation!
