How To Make Tie-Dye Shirts With Markers

Please share!

When my daughter showed me how to make tie-dye shirts with markers in just minutes, I was in awe of how easy this DIY is! This is the perfect activity for a rainy day, a birthday party or anytime you want to have fun with your kids. Plus, tie-dye is so on trend!

 It’s really cool to see how the colors start bleeding into the fabric and making different shapes after using the secret ingredient: rubbing alcohol.

Steps for how to make tie-dye shirts with markers and rubbing alcohol.

How to make tie-dye t-shirts with markers

Check out this video which shows what you need to do to get this tie-dye effect simply using Sharpies or permanent markers and rubbing alcohol. You will need a plastic cup, a white t-shirt, and a rubber band as well. If you have a dropper, use it, because it allows you to apply the alcohol precisely over the colored dots.

You will need:

  • A white t-shirt, shirt or t-shirt
  • Permanent markers  (we used Sharpies)
  • Alcohol
  • Plastic cup
  • Elastic

 

Instructions:

  • Put a plastic cup under the shirt and secure it with an elastic.
  • Paint colored dots with the permanent markers.
  • Apply alcohol over the dots using a dropper.
  • You will see the colors begin to bleed. That is the goal!
  • Release the elastic and then move the plastic cup to another section of the shirt.
  • Repeat the process until you are happy with the design.
  • Finally, set the colors by putting the t-shirt in the dryer.
