Instructions

1. Tie It
   
   Place the shirt on top of a marble or coin, pinch it through the shirt layers, and twist. Secure it in place with a rubber band. Repeat this process all around the shirt with several more marbles--the more you use and the tighter you twist them, the more interesting your patterns will be.
2. Dye It
   
   Fill the bottles with the individually prepared dye baths and thoroughly spray your T-shirt. Hold the bottle close for more concentrated colors and farther away for more subtle coloring.
