TIE & DYE DESIGNS- 1

1. Square-Triangle

This design has a square at the center and triangles at all the four corners.
We take a piece of cloth, draw triangles on all the four corners, and draw a square joining the four triangles. We also draw a square design in the centre. We cover all the four triangles on the corner with thread to keep them white. We color the center design in yellow. After drying it, we cover the square in the center completely. After coloring the four triangles with red color, we cover them. Now we cover the remaining cloth with black color.

2. Semi-Circle Design

We take a piece of cloth and draw semicircles on all the four sides. To keep the opposite two semicircles white, we cover it with thread by the help of Needle. Now, we put the cloth in a tub of yellow color. After drying it, we open the semicircles, which we had covered with thread. Now we cover the semicircle, which we have colored yellow. Now we color the remaining two semicircles with a light color and the remaining cloth with any dark color. We can use this design on blouses, suits, etc

3. Corners in Two Colors

Draw lines on the corners & do running stitch & pull the thread to wrinkle it. Then cover it with thread. Dip it in yellow color. Then cover the last corner & hold a pinch of cloth in the centre & cover with thread and dip in the red color.

4. Diamond Design

Make lengthwise diamonds on the cloth & do running stitch on the design outlines. Then with a gap of one inch, dip it in yellow color. After drying, cover the yellow portion & dip it in red color & dry it. Then cover it with thread & dip in black color and dry it. After doing all this pull all the stitches & see the diamond on the cloth piece.

5. Circle Design

Take a square piece of cloth and keep in on a plane surface. Make four circles on the cloth, each with one-inch radius bigger than the smaller one.
Run thread across all the circles and start dying with the lightest color to the darker colors. We can use this design to make cushion covers. The radius of the circles should change with the size of the cloth.
