Journal on How to Do Tie-Dye and Silk Screening

How to do it:
Tie-Dye
With a piece of fabric, tie a number of rubbers, in a pattern. Dip the fabric into bowls of color dye. Dip different parts of the fabric that was divided by the rubber into different color dyes. When a part of the fabric is between other parts of the fabric, fold it into half and dip it that way.

Silk Screening
Stick the fabric that wanted to be screen on a table. Put the screen on top of the fabric and then spread the color paint that is wanted to be use for the image on the screen. With the slide, push the screen hard on the fabric, making the paint crumbled up together on the slide. If you’re not sure that the paint on the fabric is not even, spread the paint again and push the slide. If there is more than one color that is being used, change the screen and do the step all over again.

Materials and tools needed:
Tie-Dye
- Fabric
- Rubbers
- Color Dye
- Bucket
- Water

Silk Screening
- Fabric
- Paint
- Screen
- Slide
- Dryer (optional)

Tips to be successful:
Tie-Dye
Make sure that the part of fabric that you dip into one color of the color dye, do not go beyond the rubber limit.

Silk Screening
To slide, you have to hold the slide with both of your hands and make sure that the energy you put to both hands is equal, because if it’s not, the result would not be that satisfying.

What did I learn from this activity:
Tie-Dye
I learned how to do tie-dye and two patterns to make it.

Silk Screening
I learned how to do silk screening and what actually happens when doing it.

How would I do it differently if I do it again:
Tie-Dye
I would try to make another pattern to make the pattern more interesting and use different colors, bright colors.

Silk Screening
I would use the dark colors first so that the bright colors would not be over-lapped by it. Journal on Tie Dye and Silk Screening
