This spring, oriental style is once again winning the hearts of fashionistas. Colorful streaks and rainbow tie-dye prints take us back to hippie times. And there's a reason for that. If in the 1970s this was perceived as a protest against the system, today it is a way to express yourself without opening your mouth. This is successfully used by representatives of many subcultures, as well as those who want to be at the peak of fashion.
What is tie-dye technology
“Shibori” was the name of this style in Japan at the dawn of its appearance. Literally, “tie-dye” can be translated as “tie-dye.” This is a method of dyeing fabric by hand using compression and twisting of the fabric. Similar to nodular staining - an even more ancient method, widespread today in India, Africa, and China. Those born in the USSR also dyed jeans using this method, making fashionable “varenki” in their kitchens.
A thing painted in this way acquires exclusivity - after all no one will be able to repeat the drawing exactly! And uniqueness and handmade work have always been especially valued among fashionistas.
Technology accessible to everyone
If you don’t like the models offered in stores, dye the fabric yourself at home. This activity will not take much time and will not be expensive.
For coloring you will need:
- capacity;
- paints (for fabric or acrylic);
- threads for tying;
- one spoon of salt;
- water.
Advice! If you want to get a rich color, use less water in the composition. If delicate shades are a priority, then you need to dilute the paints with water as much as possible.
The process looks like this. The fabric is twisted and tied with threads in one or several places, and dipped in a boiling solution of paint and water. Then take it out, cool it, straighten it. In areas of twisting and binding, uncolored or paler areas of the fabric remain in the form of stripes. These stripes of the original fabric form the basis of the pattern.
The main advantage of this technology is the result cannot be spoiled! In any case, it will turn out stylish. If you like it, you will have a whole collection of clothes of your own design in the tie-dye style!
