It is practical, too, for it can provide a camp unit with colorful tee shirts, bandanas, socks or a unit flag for identification. Even for a family, it can be a camp activity to create matching shirts for the entire family. Theres another reason for mothers and scout leaders to in enjoy doing their the great outdoors whether the backyard or the canyon because shes not likely to end d stove or up with a washing machine at the end of the procedure. What about procedure for successful It isnt very hard, as demonstrated by Girl Scouts wholl be creating their own designs in unit colors for day camp next week. ut tie-dye- tee-shi- rt Choose white or d items, preferably cotton, to be dyed. If.new, wash remove the sizing so the dye will work better. Decide on a design and then begin to tie areas that you dont want to absorb any dye. The easiest is to use heavy rubber bands, making sure they are tight enough that dye wont leak underneath. 1. light-colore- as it boils, checking often to see if the proper color has been attained. Remember wet materials will seem darker than the dried item will be. STIR ITEMS IN DYE 2. Various designs are possible: lines by putting rubber bands tightly around arms, sleeves, ends, etc.; bullseyes by making a funnel of rubber bands around a circle of cloth; circles by taking bunches and encircling them with rubber bands; or just make an abstract by tieing the whole item in a tight knot. 3. Add dye to a bucket of boiling water and stir with a stick. Drop in items and let them boil, watching for the shade you want to achieve. Vivid colors will show up best, and remember that wet materials are darker than theyll be when dry. 4. Remove article from dye with stick or tongs and drop into another bucket of icy cold water with about 2 cut f vinegar added. The vinegar helps to see the dye. Swish the items around until they seem rinsed and then squeeze them out. 5. Rinse under faucet, hose, or in the stream or lake where you are camping. Little more color will be released, and the vegetable dyes sold in stores are biodegradable and will not harm wildlife (although they might surprise the folks im- mediately downstream) and dissipate quickly. with vinegar to set the dye until little color is being released, then rinse in clear cold water or taucet, hose, or stream until water runs completely clear. RINSE IN COLD WATER 6. Hang the article up to dry on a clothesline or over a bush. It will keep its color better if washed in cold water and without bleach. If something is dyed that shouldnt be, like the front of your blouse or your fingernails, bleach will remove the dye as will washings in hot water. 7. Dump the dye water into dry ground where it will be absorbed, not into a stream or lake. In fact, if you are all done with the fire just use the dye and rinse water to completely douse the flames. Scout and youth group leaders should be careful in announcing as a camp activity so as not to frighten youngsters or their parents, or theyll get one of those telephone worried telephone calls: one child wasnt going to camp the next day because the leader announced they were all going to dye the next day; another mother was concerned because the child was to bring an extra since they might dye the following day at camp. But once theyve done it, the girls all think that dyeing in the great outdoors is great fun and want to repeat the procedure.
