STEP 2 While holding the pinched section of the singlet, tie rubber bands around the width of the cone shape at various intervals. Repeat this process on other areas of the singlet.

STEP 3 While wearing your plastic gloves, squeeze dye onto each section, using a different colour in each as desired. Make sure you open up folds in fabric and squeeze dye into them too.

STEP 4 Turn the singlet over and repeat the dye application on the reverse side. Make sure you have covered all of the singlet in dye.
