Work Out Tops 2 Ways



 Shibori T-Shirt


What you'll need:
  • Any one color Rit dye (Royal Blue shown here)
  • Rubber bands
  • Bucket
  • Gloves (optional)
1) Wet your t-shirt.
2) Starting at one sleeve envelope fold your t-shirt.



3)Starting at one end of t-shirt, envelope fold the opposite way.

4) Wrap rubber bands tightly around t-shirt (I used 2 bands-the more you use the less dye will bleed through).

5) Prepare dye bath using 3 tbs any color Rit dye and 4 cups hot water (I used Royal Blue as a contrast to my already light blue t-shirt)

6) Submerge t-shirt into dye bath. Leave in until desired color is reached (I left mine in for about 5 minutes).

7) Remove from dye bath and rinse under cold water.

8) Cut rubber bands and continue rinsing until water runs clear.

9) Wash, dry, and enjoy!


Twisted Tank

What you'll need:
  • Any color Rit dye (Aquamarine and Kelly Green used here)
  • Bucket
  • Gloves (optional-but highly recommended for this one!) 
1) Prepare dye bath using any color Rit dye (I created Blue-Green #573-"Gumby Green" using ColoRit Color Formula Guide) and 3 cups hot water.


2) Wet your tank.

3)Twist the tank as if ringing it out.


4) Holding the twisted tank, dunk into the dye bath.  Keep submerged for 5 seconds.

5) Remove from dye bath and rinse under cold water until it runs clear.

6) Wash, dry, and enjoy!
