Can you use hair bands when tie dying?

Grab one for every color you plan to use. Rubber bands and hair ties are your most vital tools. Make sure you have scissors, a large stirring spoon and a pair of tongs to remove your fabric from its dye bath. Of course, the colored dyes are necessary!

Is it better to tie dye wet or dry?

We generally recommend washing your fabric and leaving it damp before tie-dyeing, as the dye has an easier time saturating the fabric when it’s wet. Applying dye to dry fabric results in more color saturation but less uniform permeation throughout the fabric.

I didn’t have any rubber bands, so I used old hair ties. Now is the fun part! Take your bleach solution and squirt it randomly all over the clothing.

How do you make a headband without elastic?

There’s no elastic- it’s just two strips of fabric sewn together and flipped around. (or just one piece if you don’t make it reversible) I do recommend using a knit fabric as the extra bit of stretch will make the headband stay in place a bit better.

What’s the best way to wear a ribbon?

Tie a ribbon around your neck to wear it as a choker. Choose a soft ribbon since it’ll be against your neck.

Check to make sure the ribbon is flat against your skin so it’s not uncomfortable.

Wear your hair half-up and half-down with a ribbon holding the hair up. Cut the ribbon so that it’s at least 14–20 inches (36–51 cm) long—you can always make it shorter once it’s tied, if needed.

Place the ribbon on your left lapel or breast pocket. If the outfit you’re wearing has a lapel, such as a jacket or tuxedo, place the ribbon on the left side. For more casual clothing that doesn’t have a lapel, wear the ribbon over your left breast pocket.
