Step 1: What You Will Need

-A pack of men's tank tops or an old shirt

-Rit Dye: pick out any color you choose! You can find this dye at a large food store, hobby lobby, or any craft store.

-A bucket, extra large bowl, or a sink. There are many different ways to dye clothing. Read the directions on your bottle and do whatever works for you. For this tutorial I will be using a large bowl.

-Washing Machine or Hand-wash
