Here’s how you fold a t-shirt to make a chevron tie-dye pattern.
For basic dying instructions check out my Tie Dye Tutorial.
Begin, by folding your t-shirt in half vertically.
Fold over the top half of the shirt at a 45 degree angle.
Fold the shirt back along the angle you created.
Continue folding the shirt into pleats until it is in a long narrow strip.
Tie the shirt off into sections with rubber bands.
Squirt dye on each banded off section of the shirt with the squirt bottles. Open the folds here and there to make sure the dye is going all the way to the middle and that there aren’t any big white spaces.
Continue on with the dying process as outlined in my basic Tie Dye Tutorial.
