Abstract: A method of making a tie dye solution for a fabric includes adding a first predetermined weight of sodium chloride to a second predetermined weight of a dye, wherein the first predetermined weight of the sodium chloride is based on the color of the dye. The method further includes mixing the first predetermined weight of the sodium chloride and the second predetermined weight of the dye together to form a dry dye mixture, dispensing the mixed first predetermined weight of the sodium chloride and the second predetermined weight of the dye into a dye bottle, and adding water to the dye bottle having the mixed first predetermined weight of the sodium chloride and the second predetermined weight of the dye to form the tie dye solution.

Abstract: Methods and kits are provided for tie-dyeing various materials. A garment or other object is soaked using water or a different liquid, excess water is removed, the object is gathered and tied, and at least one dye is applied to the object. The dyed object is then placed in a heat-resistant container and heated in a heat source such as a microwave. This allows the dye to set more rapidly than via conventional means.
