    squirt bottles
    (follow directions on dye package for mix)

1-set up dye and add a tablespoon or more of baking soda
(soda helps to set the dye)

around each bundle. (The more bundles and wrapped areas
the greater the design.)

put in plastic trash bag.  Leave undisturbed for at least 8 hours,
remove rubber bands.

works best !!!  Wash  before wearing!
