Tie-Dye Shirts With Vinyl - Different Ways To Make Designs

Different Ways To Make Designs For Tie-Dye Shirts

Summer is almost here! This means tie-dye shirts are making a comeback. They're great to wear during the season, offering a burst of vibrant colors, and designing them can be an exciting hands-on project. Working on tie-dye shirts can also be a fun activity to do with kids!

You may already have a collection of tie-dye shirts in your closet. You can revamp them by adding vinyl designs, making them as good as new. You can also design these shirts for your family as a token of your love for them. Here’s how to do it.

The Two Types Of Tie Dye Methods

Using The Traditional Method

When you think of tie-dye, the traditional method is usually the first that comes to mind. If you don't have a tie-dye shirt, you can design one before embellishing it with vinyl. Watch this video tutorial if you want to create the tie-dye shirt yourself.

Bleach Dyeing Method

Another method is called bleach dyeing or reverse tie-dye. While traditional tie-dyeing adds color to light-colored shirts, bleach dyeing removes it from dark-colored shirts to create a tie-dye effect.
If you think you might want to change your mind or it’s just a one-time occasion, using removable vinyl is advisable. Also, if you plan to place the vinyl indoors, you can use removable instead as this won’t damage the paint of the walls.

If you want to bleach-dye the shirt yourself, here is the tutorial. When working with bleach, make sure you are in a well-ventilated space. If such a space is unavailable, you can work near a window.

Just like the traditional method, it is best to allow the bleach to completely saturate the fabric before applying vinyl. Once the bleach cures, you can rinse your shirt, and let it dry.

Whether you tie-dye a shirt yourself, refresh an old one, or grab a new one for summer, here's how you can personalize it with heat transfer vinyl.

Using Heat Transfer Vinyl

You can choose Heat Transfer Vinyl from TeckWrap Craft’s collection for your project. HTV is a great option for durable and long-lasting prints on tie-dye shirts. Make sure your shirt is of cotton, polyester, or poly/cotton blend for a long-lasting result. HTV has a strong adhesive that is activated with heat and pressure.

Remember to use monochrome vinyl on very colorful shirts so that your HTV design stands out. Another way to spruce up your shirt is to use fabric paint applied with removable vinyl as a stencil.

If you don't have a tie-dye shirt but want a design that's just as colorful, use our Rainbow Stripes HTV.

When using HTV, finalize your design in software like Cricut Design Space. Place your heat transfer vinyl on a cutting mat and load it into the automated machine to cut with precision.

Before applying HTV, pre-press your tie-dye shirt to remove moisture and wrinkles. You may use a flat iron or heat press to transfer the vinyl design to your shirt. You can remove the carrier sheet from the material after the vinyl has cooled down.
