How to Make a Tye-Dye Shirt Using Grape Juice

How to Make a Tye-Dye Shirt Using Grape Juice
I originally thought of this when I accidently spiled grape juice on my T-Shirt. Luckily, it was the most "Hippie" shirt I have, so, instead of using stain remover, I figured that I'd see if I could make it better by making it worse.
This method is pretty fun, provided you use the right kind of Grape Juice, I find that Purple works better than Red colored Grape Juice.
I generaly use this if I have a really badly stained Shirt, and I want to cover the stain up.

Why not put the grape juice in a spray bottle with an adjustable spray mist/stream. Put the shirt in the spirals you want, and spray away on a mist form. I did this with actual Tye-dye kits and it comes out a lot crisper and the colors blend together rather than bleed all over the place.

How can you prevent the grape juice from soaking the whole shirt? Or should I just dip the rolled up shirt for a moment and take it out immediately? I tried this but the whole shirt became one color...?
