Tie-Dye Bed Sheets
Difficulty: Easy30
minutesA detailed, step-by-step tutorial for creating beautiful, custom tie-dye bed sheets.
Equipment
- Tools
Rubber gloves
Plastic cover
Rubber bands
Large bucket
Stirring stick
- Materials
Fabric dye
Bed sheet
Salt (if required by dye instructions)
Water
Instructions
- Start by laying out the plastic cover on your working area. This will prevent any accidental spills of dye from staining your work surface.
- Prepare the dye according to the package instructions. Most fabric dyes require a mixture of dye and water, and some might even require adding salt.
- Wet the bedsheet and wring out any excess water. The sheet should be damp but not dripping wet.
- Lay out the bedsheet on your covered work area and start folding it according to your chosen tie-dye pattern. Secure the folds with the rubber bands.
- Wearing your rubber gloves, dip the folded bedsheet into the dye mixture. Ensure that all parts of the fabric are submerged in the dye. If not, rotate and adjust accordingly.
- Let the bedsheet soak in the dye for the amount of time recommended by the dye manufacturer. The longer the soak, the darker the color will be.
- After the recommended soak time, remove the bedsheet from the dye bath. Rinse under cold water, still in its folded state, until the water runs clear.
- Finally, remove the rubber bands, unfold the bedsheet and let it dry. After it’s dry, give it a final wash and dry before using.
Notes
- Always wear old clothes when working with fabric dye to avoid any unwanted stains.
- Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area as some dyes can produce strong odors.
- The final color of the sheet may look different when dry, so don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect straight out of the dye bath.
