First Dyed


Here are the results of the first graders' tye dying project. All of the students brought clothing or fabric to dye. We used the plastic bag method. Each student folded, twisted, or rolled their cloth. Then they wrapped rubber bands tightly around the cloth and placed it in a zip lock bag. Then using red, yellow, and/or blue dye in squeeze bottles, each student applied color to the cloth. The bags were zipped shut and kept overnight. The next day students rinsed their dyed cloth and removed the rubber bands.
When the clothing and cloths were dried and put on displayed in the cafeteria.
