Lay the shirt flat on a clean surface
Smooth out all wrinkles
Pinch the center of the shirt where you want the spiral to start
Twist the fabric tightly around that center point
Continue twisting until the shirt forms a flat spiral
Keep the spiral compact and even
Secure the shirt with 3 to 6 rubber bands crossing through the center
Make sure the rubber bands divide the shirt into wedge sections
For a crumple tie, bunch the shirt randomly into a tight ball
Secure the crumpled shirt with several rubber bands
For a stripe pattern, fold the shirt accordion-style
Wrap rubber bands along the folded shirt at intervals
For a bullseye pattern, pinch one spot and pull it upward into a tube
Wrap rubber bands around the tube at regular spacing
Check that the shirt is tight and held firmly before dyeing
