Tie-dye painting - how is it done, and what is the peculiarity of this technique?

Tai-dye is a special fabric dyeing technique that has not lost its relevance since the 60s of the last century. Most often, tie-dye is used for summer clothes, because the color is bright, stylish and always unique.

The roots of the tie-dye technique go back to ancient Japan, but over the years, many new ways of dyeing fabrics using this technology have developed. All of them, in one way or another, are based on twisting and tying the canvas to be painted. Tie-dye can be used for dyeing both fabrics and finished products: T-shirts, dresses, scarves, small accessories.

How does tie-dye technique work?

The process is pretty simple, but it takes some skill. You should also pay attention to the quality of the material to be painted. Poor quality fabric can simply deteriorate from curls and knots.

So, in order to apply a tie-dye pattern, you need to twist the fabric or the finished product according to one of the many patterns, then drag with elastic bands or ropes the places where the dyeing boundaries should be and apply the required paints to the fabric. The result is vibrant, unique patterns. It is impossible to repeat one pattern 100%, so each tie-dye product will be unique.

Color combinations can be very different. For certain things, bright, catchy colors are better suited; for others, calmer and quieter colors. In any case, the pattern will be interesting and fashionable, since tie-dye is used by most fashion designers and designers from year to year.
