The presentation by Md. Azmeri Latif Beg discusses the history and techniques of tie-dyeing, tracing its origins back to Peru around 500-810 AD and its cultural significance in various regions. It also outlines the materials needed, processes for mixing dyes, and step-by-step instructions for creating tie-dye designs, including preparation, dyeing, and washing. Finally, it touches on the appeal of tie-dye in modern fashion and its relation to youth culture.

3. A Quick History Lesson on Tie Dye
Where did tie dye come from? What impact did it have?
• Dating back to 500 to 810 AD the earliest
example of tie die originated from Peru.
The designs involved small circles and
lines. Colors used were bright reds,
yellows, blues and greens.
• West Africa, as well as countries such as
Japan and Indonesia have been using tie
dye techniques for centuries.
• By 1909, tie-dye had made its way to the
United States.
• In the late 1960’s, modern psychedelic
tie-dye attire became popular by way of
rock stars like Janis Joplin.
• A modern throwback culture has been
created through millennials. The internet
has revived the publics’ interest in fashion
and designs incorporating the use of tie
die.

5. Tie-Dying Kits
• For only making a few tie-
dyed t-shirts, I would
recommend purchasing a tie-
dye kit made by a company
called Jacquard. These kits
contain Procion dyes. These
dyes are the finest dyes I
have ever used. They are
professional dyes. The kits
are sold in Solon at JoAnn
Fabrics. You can also find
the kits at Pat Catan’s at
Broadway and Rockside
Roads.

6. Buying Tie Dying Materials
• For making a large number of
shirts, I would purchase all the
materials separately. They can
be found at Pat Catan’s.
• Materials to purchase:
• Bottles of powdered Procion
dyes in selected colors. ( See
Selecting Colors of Dye.)
• Soda ash
• 100% white cotton t-shirt
• Rubber bands
• Rubber gloves
• Plastic bags & twist ties
• Squeeze bottles ( You can also
use something like an empty
liquid dish soap container or
mustard or ketchup dispenser.
You might try squirt top water
bottles too.)
• Measuring teaspoon
• Clothes pin (clip type)
• Plastic sheeting
• Newspaper

7. Selecting Colors of Dyes
• The 3 basic colors of dye you might choose are:RED, BLUE,and
YELLOW. These are the 3 colors that come with the tie-dye kit.
These are also the primary colors. You cannot mix any colors
together to make these colors. Also, you can mix any two primary
colors together to produce the secondary colors of orange, green,
and violet.
• When purchasing these colors in Procion Dyes, choose:
• FUCHSIA(for the red)
• TURQUOISE (for the blue)
• LEMON YELLOW (for the yellow)
• For additional colors pick the
secondary colors. The names in Procion
Dyes are:
• BRILLIANT ORANGE
• MARINE VIOLET
• BRIGHT GREEN

8. Colors
There so many colors in the world, and in the world of tye die
the color combinations are limitless!
Warm colors, cool colors, earth tones,
and monochromatic color palettes
really give a huge amount of range in
the way you go about complimenting
the décor in your home. While it may
be harder to match tie dye with the
rest of your room, if you can pull it off
then it will really help to make your
bean bag stand out as a highlighted
piece of furniture.

9. Mixing Colors
• MIXING DIRECTIONS: Dyes can be made in clean glass jars and
then carefully poured into the squirt bottles.
• For the very best results, use the mixed dyes as soon as possible.
Professional tie-dyers use the dyes within one day. The dyes do
last up to one month. Dispose of old mixed dyes and don’t waste
on a good t-shirt. Therefore, mix only what you think you will
need.
• For small quantities of dye use 2 teaspoons of most dyes per cup
of hot water. But use 4 teaspoons of turquoise dye per cup.
• If you want to use black dye it takes 6 teaspoons of black dye per
cup of water!!
• For large quantities of dye mix 1 bottle of Procion Dye with 3 cups
of water.
• Remember to use 2 bottles of turquoise per 3 cups of water.

10. Primary Color Scheme• Basically, you want to pick colors
that blend well when placed side
by side. You do not want to end
up with muddy colors.
• You can’t go wrong using 2 or all
3 of the PRIMARY COLORS.
• They are RED (fuchsia)
YELLOW and BLUE (turquoise).
• When you place two of these
colors next to each other they
make a SECONDARY COLOR.
• RED + YELLOW= ORANGE
• YELLOW + BLUE= GREEN
• BLUE + RED= VIOLET

11. THE COLOR SPECTRUM/THE COLOR WHEEL
The colors of the color wheel are found in the Color Spectrum. Many students like to use all six on combination. The
color spectrum goes in this order:
R-O-Y-G-B-V / RED-ORANGE-YELLOW-GREEN-BLUE-VIOLET
ANALOGOUS COLORS
Analogous colors are colors that are neighbors on the color wheel. They YELLOW-ORANGE- RED
are 2 primary colors and the secondary color in between. You can also use 2 of the analogous colors instead of all 3.
They are:
RED-VIOLET-BLUE
BLUE-GREEN-YELLOW
COMPLIMENTARY COLORS
These are colors you don’t want to use together!
Do not use complimentary colors next to each other.
They make a muddy brown. They are colors directly
across each other on the color wheel.They are:

12. Preparing the Shirt for
Tying and Dying
• First of all, the shirt must be 100% cotton or it will not hold the dye.
• Always prewash the the shirt. It contains a fabric finish when it is
new and this prevents all the dye from being absorbed into the
fibers. Washing will remove the finish.
• Presoak the shirts in 1 cup of soda ash to 1 gallon of water. If you
mix this with your hands, wear rubber gloves. Soak for 15 minutes
to 1 hour. The soda ash solution losses its effectiveness after 1
hour. You can no longer use it. Dispose of the soda ash solution.
• Squeeze out the soaked shirt. Wear rubber gloves when doing this.
• You are now ready to tie your shirt.

13. How to Tie the T-Shirt
These are the directions for creating a swirl design. In the classroom I
place this on a large sheet of plastic to protect the tables.
• Place the shirt out flat with the front side down. The side that is down
always has the better appearance.
• Place a clothes pin where you wish the center of the swirl to be.
Remember, the that center of the shirt may come down low on the person
wearing it. You may want to have the center of the swirl off center, near
the top, or near the bottom.
• Holding the clothes pin, swirl the shirt. Gather up loose edges as you go.
The shirt should not go up in a point, but rather gather up only a few
inches above the work surface. When you are finished, it will be similar
in size and shape to a round layer of cake.
• Gently lift the twisted shirt and place a rubber band across the shirt,
crossing the center point. Add two more rubber bands, creating six “pie”
sections. These do not have to be equal in size.
• Turn the shirt over and make sure that the rubber bands cross or X
across the center of the swirl.
• You are now ready to dye.

14. Dying the Tied Shirt
• In the classroom I cover the tables with plastic sheeting to prevent the dye from staining the
surface.
• If you are dying outside, you can work on the grass.
• Place an entire newspaper under the tied t-shirt. I like to have the newspaper in 2 large
sections. The newspaper will absorb the dyes that overflow the shirt.
• Remember the color scheme that you will be using.
• Put on the rubber gloves.
• Using the squirt bottles containing the mixed dye, start with your first color. Carefully tip the
bottle over and point it at the triangular “pie section” of the tied shirt. Start near the edge
and squeeze the dye out gently. Move toward the center as you dye that section.
• Change colors as you go around the shirt. For three colors you will repeat the colors twice
on each side.
• When you turn over the shirt, flip the newspaper to a clean section.
• You will be able to see the colors used on the sections of the dyed side. Repeat the same
colors on the second side.
• When the shirt is dyed on both side, place the shirt inside a plastic bag. Twist tie this closed.
• You will leave the shirt inside the bag for 24 or more hours. This will allow the dyes to set in
the fibers.

15. Washing and Drying
the Tie-Dyed Shirt
• Again, leave the dyed shirt inside a sealed plastic bag for at least 24 hours.
• There are two ways to rinse and wash a dyed shirt.
• The first way is to rinse the shirt out in a sink or with a hose until most of
the dye is gone and the shirt rinses fairly clean. Remove the rubber bands
and continue to rinse, if necessary.
• Place up to seven rinsed shirts in a washer and wash with detergent.
((Warm water is okay.)
• You may place the shirts in the dryer or line dry, if you choose.
• The 2nd way works well with a single dyed shirt. You may skip the rinsing
and instead place the shirt in the washer and wash it alone in a complete
load of water. No prerinsing is necessary. Dry.
• Now wear your shirt!
