Side Circle Tshirt

Step 1:

- Cover work surface with a plastic cover.

- Lay shirt out on a flat surface.

- Pinch a section of the shirt where you want the center of the circle to be.

- Pull it up toward you to make a tee-pee shape. Then pull up more of the fabric for a larger circle.

- Close one hand around the point of the tee-pee and tie it off with a rubber band; then add rubber bands down the length of it. (The more rubber bands, the larger the circle will be.)

- Dip shirt in water; squeeze out excess water. Set aside

- Wearing rubber gloves, prepare Yellow & Fuchsia dyes separately: Mix 1 package of Yellow powdered dye or ½ cup Yellow liquid dye with 2 cups hot tap water; stir well. Pour into squirt bottle. Repeat for Fuchsia dye.

- Overlap several layers of plastic wrap to make an area slightly larger than shirt.

- Place shirt on plastic wrap. Squirt Yellow dye on wrapped section of shirt.

- Squirt Fuchsia dye on whole shirt including the wrapped section.

- Cover shirt with plastic wrap; seal edges. Fold to fit in microwave.

- Line bottom of microwave with paper towels. Place wrapped shirt in microwave and set on High for 2 minutes.

- Wearing rubber gloves, remove shirt from microwave. Rinse shirt in cool water until water runs clear. Then launder in warm water with a mild detergent; rinse and dry.
