The Ultimate Guide to Creating the Perfect Tie Dye Sweatshirt

Creating the perfect tie dye sweatshirt doesn’t need to be left to the professionals. The resurgence of the DIY project has taken the world by storm – So much so that your favorite online retailers have joined in on the tie dye trend.

Being a DIY blogger, I love that more people have been excited to create. However, I’ve found that the biggest barrier to getting your hands dirty is crafty confidence – the inner belief that you can do it! I can empathize. It is hard to buy materials when you aren’t sure whether your project will turn out just right.

In this post I’m going to cover the perfect craft recipes – the techniques and materials you will need to master your favorite online looks. If you still don’t have the craft confidence you need – I’m providing all the links to my favorite online products! A total win-win.

Here is a hot take on this post: Rit Dye is not your best option. However, it is non-toxic. I am including this brand here because I know that many of these projects will be done with or around children. However, if you are not in this category I recommend using Procion Dyes. Not only are they not backordered, but they work wonderfully. However, you need to stop in to an art supply store in order to obtain them. You won’t find these in amazon stores. The same colors translate to Procion dyes when you are searching for them.

All of these tutorials work best when you pretreat your fabric with soda ash. For more information on how to pre- and post- treat your fabric read this post.
