Here’s how you fold a t-shirt to make a striped tie-dye pattern.

For basic dying instructions check out my Tie Dye Tutorial.

Lay your t-shirt out flat. Starting at the bottom of the shirt, fold the shirt into pleats.

Continue pleating the shirt until it is all folded.

Section the shirt off 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.
