DIY Spiral Tie Dye for Kids

Summer just isn’t summer without tie dying! Todays step by step tutorial covers how to make a spiral tie dye pattern on a shirt! My son and our neighbor made these colorful shirts! It’s a very simple process just follow my guided steps below.

  • Tulip One Step Tie Dye
  • washed and dried white t-shirt 
  • rubber bands
  • grungy clothes
  • gloves

1.  Lay the shirt out face up and pinch the center of the t-shirt with your fingers (pointer finger and thumb)

2.  Twirl around in a spiral.

3.  Criss cross and wrap with rubber bands. Lots of rubber bands and tight!

4.  Use light colors or primary colors first in the middle. They will combine with others colors to make a third color.

5.  Let dry, wash, and wear!

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
