Step 5
Apply each color to one-third of T-shirt in pie-shaped wedges.
Step 6
Turn project over and repeat dye sequence on back.
Step 7
Cover dyed shirt with plastic and allow to set at least eight hours.
Step 8
Remove bands and rinse shirt under running water to remove excess dye.
Step 9
Wash and dry shirt as fabric requires.
Step 10
Lay the shirt on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles or folds. If desired, trim the sleeves and collar of the T-shirt according to your preference.
Step 11
Cut off the bottom hem of the T-shirt just above the stitch line.
Step 12
Measure up 8" from the new bottom edge of the T-shirt, and use quilting pins to mark this horizontal line across the shirt.
Step 13
With scissors, cut vertical strips approximately 1" apart through both layers of fabric, creating a row of fringe across the entire bottom of the shirt. Cut through the stitching at the side seams as well, to separate the T-shirt’s front and back.
