This week for genius hour my partner and I have tried new techniques regarding tie dye. Our first tie dye experience was not very good it was just messy and the shirts did not come out nice. That's why this time we tried to make it less messy by getting a tie dye rack and doing it, cause last time we had used a garbage bag which left the excess dye on the bag which eventually had gotten back on the shirt and made the colours not very pretty. when we were done setting up the station we began to tie dye. This time we made sure we got the shirt to soak up all the dye unlike last time which resulted in the shirt being mostly white and having no dye omit. We finished all our shirts and wrapped them up in plastic wrap and let the shirts soak in the dye for 8 hours. after 8 hours we washed the shifts and the end result was wonderful, we couldn't have been happier.
