How to Make
Follow the Tie-Dye Kit instructions for adding water to the dye bottles and applying colour onto the fabric.

The finished effect will vary depending the following:
- The number of folds
- How the fabric is folded
- Where the elastic bands are tied
- How tightly the elastic bands are wrapped
- The strength of the dye
- The type of fabric you are using
- The dimensions of your fabric Before you start, rinse the fabric then squeeze out most of the water until it is damp. This helps the dye colours to spread through the folds
Leave the fabric to dry for 6-8 hours over a bowl with newspaper or paper towel underneath, or place it onto a piece of thick corrugated card cut from a cardboard box.
Remove all the elastic bands (with gloves on) then open out the fabric. If it still feels very wet, remove any excess dye with paper towel or leave it to dry for a bit longer.
Rinse the cushion cover in water then leave it to fully dry. Cover it with a pressing cloth then iron out the creases.
