Fabric Dye Commercial dyes made for tie-dye are best. Look for one step dyes that come with applicator bottles.

Tie the fabric with the rubber bands. Different designs can be achieved with different tying techniques.
Put the tied fabric on a baking tray over a sink or large container that will catch the dye. Using the applicator bottles, squeeze dye in your desired areas.
Place the item in a plastic bag for 6-8 hours.
