Modern tie dye

Tie-dyeing was all the rage

 in the late 1960s and early 1970s,

 identified as the hippie style.

The look is accomplished by folding the material into a pattern, binding it with string or rubber bands and applying dye to only parts of the material. The ties prevent the entire material from being dyed.

You can recreate the tie-dye look easily with fabric paint . . . really, it is all in the folding . . . you don't have to mess with all those chemicals if you don't want to!  Click here for the tutorial :)

There are so many patterns and

 techniques when it comes to tie-dye!
