Step 10: Add dyes

It’s time to add color to your peace sign tie-dye tee! For this project, we opted for a peaceful pastel palette. Apply black dye along the marked areas to outline the peace sign, then fill the peace sign itself with sky-blue dye. We added a soft lemon-yellow halo around the peace sign before filling the remainder of the shirt with a lovely lavender dye! Be sure to flip your project and apply dyes to the backside of your shirt as well.
