How to make it
Tie It
Grab a small section of the shirt, both front and back layers, and twist it as tightly as possible. Fold over the tip of the twist and fasten it snugly with a rubber band.
Make different-size twists all over your shirt, or keep them consistent and in a pattern to get results similar to the T-shirt above.
Dye It
Fill the bottles with the individually prepared dye baths and squeeze drops onto your shirt. If you use this technique on a knotted or marbled shirt, try squeezing one color onto and around each of the tied sections.
