Tie Dye Pattern Instructions for Tie Dye Bedsheets

Tie dye patterns and instructions can help you dress up fabrics in your own home, to give as presents or even sell. In fact, tie dye bedsheets are the perfect way to add some color to your room. You can go for a full batik tye die look or you can use bleach on darker sheets. Your tie dye pattern or design is related to the tye dye methods you use. You can try some of these methods for tie dying if you want to create unique bedsheets.

Basic Tie Dye Design
The most popular way to tie dye sheets is to take a light colored sheet, buy two or more colored fabric dyes and twist the fabric using rubber bands to create creative patterns for your tie dye bedsheets. You have more fabric when you tie dye a bedsheet, so you’ll need more rubber bands, more dye and more tie dye supplies.

Additional Tie Dye Designs
When it comes to a bedsheet, you can create a tie dye spiral design or produce a batik tie dye. A batik tie dye design is a more complicated process of tie dyeing and involves using duct tape or thick tape to mark where you do or do not want color. Batik tie dye pieces are generally full of more color and more intricate in nature.

Don’t think that you have to have a white sheet in order to tie dye. If you have a slightly darker color, you can still tie dye it, though the colors may be less vibrant. Also, if you have a yellow sheet and use blue dye, you could end up with green. Think about how colors will mix with one another.

You can always try bleach tie dye to work with darker colored sheets. For example, if you have a black sheet, you could use bleach instead of colored dyes. This will give you a black and white pattern. You’ll need to let the bleach sit because if you don’t, you could end up with black and brown colored sheets.
