What you will need:
- Shirt (washed and dried)
- Iron on letters (optional)
- 2 Tbsp salt
- 2 Tbsp laundry soap
- Rubber gloves
- Metal or glass bowl that can hold a gallon of water
- 1 gallon of water (16 cups)
- powder dye
- hanger
- spoon
First:
Heat one gallon of water until boiling. Empty dye packet into bowl and mix with the salt.
Next
Pour boiling water over powder and salt and mix thoroughly. Add laundry soap, but don't stir too much to keep it from bubbling.
Then
Wet shirt in the area you want died. I recommend about 3/4. Put the shirt on the hanger.
Yes, gloves are necessary especially for when you rinse at the end or your hands will be dyed for the rest of the day.
Dye Time
Dip shirt into dye until the desired dye line is met.
Next dips should stay for 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

Then:
Remove from dye and rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Carefully rub your gloves along the top of the dye line to try to blend it out.
Let hang to dry and then wash in washer with cold water by itself.
If you chose to add iron ons, do so now and then you are done!
- Good luck!
