Tie-Dye Your Custom T-Shirt: A Fun, Colorful DIY Anyone Can Do

How to Tie-Dye Your Custom T-Shirt

Looking for a creative way to make your custom white T-shirt even more you? Tie-dyeing is a fun, low-effort way to transform your logo tee into something vibrant and one-of-a-kind. It’s perfect for parties, family hangouts, or a sunny afternoon with friends.

Some of our customers make a whole event out of it—gathering with friends, picking bold colors, and seeing who can come up with the coolest design. It’s always a good time, and everyone gets to truly make the shirt their own while enjoying each other’s company.

Want to try it yourself? Here's how to do it—no experience needed:

What You’ll Need

  1. A white cotton T-shirt (your custom logo shirt works great!) NOTE: One color solid designs work best!

  2. Tie-dye kit (or dyes in your favorite colors)

  3. Rubber bands

  4. Gloves

  5. Plastic bags

  6. Water

  7. A protected surface (plastic tablecloth, baking tray, or tarp)


 

 

 
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Soak the Shirt

Get your shirt completely wet, then wring it out so it’s damp—not dripping.

2. Twist or Fold

Lay the shirt flat. Pinch the middle and twist it into a spiral, or scrunch it up randomly—there’s no wrong way. Secure it with rubber bands to hold the shape.

3. Apply Dye

Put on gloves. Use the dye bottles to squirt colors onto different sections of the shirt. Flip it over and do the back, too. Don’t be afraid to mix and match!

4. Let It Sit

Place the dyed shirt in a plastic bag and let it sit for 6–8 hours (or overnight) so the colors set properly.

5. Rinse and Wash

Rinse the shirt in cold water until the water runs clear. Then wash it separately in warm water and let it dry.


And that’s it! Your custom shirt now features your logo and your personal flair.

Whether it’s with family or friends, tie-dyeing is a great way to make memories—and make a mess (in a good way). Grab some shirts, some color, and go have fun with it.
