You can create lots of different patterns by folding and tying the fabric in different ways. The folds, rubber bands, and ties resist the dye, keeping it from saturating the fabric evenly.

If you want to create your own colors, you don’t need to mix the dyes in a bottle together, just squeeze the colors right onto the fabric. You can create the shirt pattern in whatever color sequence you want.

Secure the fabric bundle with three or more rubber bands, crossing them over the center of the spiral. This will create wedge-shaped areas between the bands.
