Ralph Lauren explains how to master the art of tie-dye like a fashion pro

With tie-dye a huge summer trend, as well as being one activity that we can try at home while we have all that free time on our hands, legendary American fashion label Ralph Lauren explains how to master the art of tie-dye like a fully-fledged fashion pro…

Step 1: Get Your Kit Together

Here’s what you’ll need:

- Coloured dyes

- Squeeze bottles

- Rubber bands

- Rubber gloves

- Baking soda and dye fixative, for better color saturation

- Something to dye!

Step 2: Choose Your Canvas

Step 3: The Set-Up

Tip: If you have one, setting down a wire rack is helpful — it allows excess dye to neatly drip off your garment rather than pooling together on your work surface.

Step 4: Tie It Together

Step 5: Add the Dye

Step 6: All Set …

Tip: Be sure to rinse each piece of tie-dye thoroughly, then machine wash individually at least once to wash out any excess dye and prevent it from spreading onto the rest of your laundry. Ralphlauren.com
