Tie-Dye Instructions


It was wonderful to meet you at the J’s Community Block Party!

We hope you, your friends and your family had fun and learned a little more about what The Associated’s network of agencies has to offer all year long. Don’t miss your chance to learn more.

How to take care of your tie dyed shirt:

  • Make sure your t-shirt is totally saturated with the colors of your choice to get the best results.
  • Place your t-shirt in a plastic bag and seal it completely.
  • Let the t-shirt sit in the sealed bag for 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours, remove the t-shirt from the sealed bag (it’s probably best to wear gloves). Rinse the t-shirt well, remove the rubber bands, and rinse again.
  • Soak the t-shirt in hot, soapy water for 10 minutes. Rinse the t-shirt again until the water runs clear. Lay the t-shirt flat to dry.
  • For its first wash in the laundry, keep the t-shirt separate and include a cup of white vinegar in the load.
  • Enjoy your wearable art!
