So now, we'll tie the shirts, which determines what pattern comes out.
First, take the shirt out of the urea and wring it out. A wringer/washer is gratuitous, but makes this part endlessly more fun.
Next, twist/pleat/twirl your shirt into whatever pattern you like. It's impossible screw up tie dye, so just do whatever interests you here. Some basic batterns for swirls and lines are shown below.
