How To Shibori Dye – Indigo Dyeing Tutorial

Supply List (contains affiliate links to the products I used)↓
 
● Indigo dyeing kit – http://amzn.to/2td7O8i
● Natural cellulose based fabric – cotton, hemp, linen, rayon (which is man made of cellulose) and bamboo all work. I’ve heard you can do silk and wool (which are natural protein based fabrics) but I haven’t tried them.
● Gloves – the kit comes with gloves, but I like the longer ones to be safe 
● Rubber Bands
● Resists – the kit comes with a few popsicle sticks and two balsawood blocks, but I also used dowel rods, PVC pipe, and more plywood blocks as resists on mine. Stones are another commonly used resist to create circle patterns, much like classic tie dye projects
● A 5 gallon bucket with a lid
● Synthrapol (for washing after dye sets) – http://amzn.to/2seLt5H
