What do you use to tie tie-dye?

Published in Tie-Dye Supplies 1 min read

You generally use rubber bands or string to tie tie-dye.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Rubber Bands: These are the most common and often preferred for beginners. They create tight, defined patterns. Typically, 6-7 rubber bands are used to create sections.
  • String or Twine: String can be used to create different types of patterns, often with a more organic or less defined look compared to rubber bands. It is wrapped tightly around the fabric.

The choice between rubber bands and string comes down to personal preference and the desired effect. Rubber bands tend to create more uniform and predictable patterns, while string can offer more varied and unique results.
