    createx dyes are great..mix with room temp. tap water and fixative in squirt
    bottles..tie up shirts in pinwheel fashion...use a fork to twist...secure
    with rubberbands...use plastic lawn bags to cover tables ... have students
    wear rubber gloves.and plastic aprons..use buddy system...one is using the
    dye ,the other is holding the plastic bag open for the dyed shirt...apply dye
    with squirt bottles to wet but wrung out shirts...place in plastic bags
    overnight...next day rinse and hang up to dry....I send home the wet rinsed
    shirts home in plastic bags to be dried...or send home with rinse out
    instructions in plastic bags...did this with aprox. 200 kids every summer
    at camp..and do it with my hs students as last project of the year...great
    fun and they look great too!
