I think green apple and bright yellow would go good together. Okay, first, you get something you want to tie die. Then you get rubber bands, and take chunks of the tie die thing that you want to tie die and put the spray on it. If you want it to be a swirl, you make a swirl with the thing that you want to tie die and put a rubber band on it. Hope that helped!

ok i like the colors green apple and blue jay this is how u do it "first you get a plane white T-shirt and then you get rubber bands and then twist the T-shirt in the places u want the color to swirl and u tie the rubber band on that part of the T-shirt and then u get the colors and squirt the colors on the T-shirt and make shure u where plastic gloves wile your doing this and so you take the plastic gloves of after you've done all this and you put the T-shirt in the plastic gloves" and thats how you do it you can tie die anything white hope it works PS i did this at camp

the basic concept of tie & dye is this : you tie over the parts where you want the white color to STAY [since it's a white shirt], & the rest of the material is dipped in the dye & so gets the new color. if you are using more than one dye/color, then you have to decide which areas of the first dye you want to keep as is - hence tie over these areas without removing the earlier tied areas. then dip in second dye. now you will have 3 colors - original white, 1st dye, 2nd dye. keep repeating this tying & dying till you've used all your colors. Also remember, use the lighter colors first, then go on to darker shades. to get the circular pattern, pinch the centre of the shirt & tie strings/rubber bands in concentric circles around it. depending on the width of the circle you want, tie the band to that thickness. since you are using spray cans, visit this site for detailed demos. i think it's the same brand as yours [from the colors you've mentioned]. http://www.fabricspraypaint.com/Simply_Spray_Fabric_Paint.asp?Folder=148&Name=Individually_Packaged hope this helped all the very best & have fun

Use very concentrated dye - I mix double the dye to the amount of water. Get a wooden dowel, and a helper. Measure and get the center of the T-shirt, and place the wooden sowel in the exact center. One person twists the dowel while applying downward force, and the other applies the dye and finger-pleats the fabric as it twists. When you are done the T-shirt will be in a circle. Criss- cross with rubber bands to keep it in place and place it in two plastic bags. Let sit 24 hours. Very Important: Rinse under running cold water until no more dye appears. (This will involve pressing/pumping on the shirt as it lies in the bottom of the sink, and then wringing the shirt.) Machine wash by itself.

I think that: Poppy Red, Blue Jay, and Green Apple would look fantastic together. You take some material in your had, and then bunch it up and tie it with a rubber band then spray it. Do this multiple times with a diffrent color. Good Luck!

you need a dye you can put in water. then yo make a knot in the shirt or a couple and leave it in the water for however long the pack tells you - usually a couple of hours. when the shirt is dry you can do another colour.]simple and fun!

All you do is, grab a piece of the tshirt, put rubber bands all down that one bit, then dip that bit in some diluted colour and water. Carry of with different colours and more/less bands =]
