Step 4 Bunch up fabric--this is where it happens!

This is where you get to be creative! the pattern you make in this step is what will influance the overall look of your backdrop. What you must do is take that damp, clean pice of fabric, lay it on a large waterproof surfice. flat, and crunch handfulls of the matirial towards the center. Then, once its in a ball, take cheap twine (got mine at the dollar strore) and randomly wrap arround the fabric ball. dont get too crazy at this point with the tightness of the string. you're trying to keep your design together, not bucle it up or make the ball too dense to absorb the dye.
