track tie-dye directions

The dye for the shirts needs to set for 6-8 hours. The longer you leave it alone, the brighter/more vibrant the colors will be. Leave your shirt in the bag until later tonight.
Here are the directions right from the package:

Step 3: Wrap, let set rinse
Cover dyed fabric with plastic wrap to keep damp. Let set 6-8 hours or longer for most intense colors. Cut rubber bands if used. Fill washer to "large load" setting with hottest water suitable for fabric and a small amount of laundry soap. Wash and dry separately. Wash separately for the first few washes.

I'm sure you could vary this a little bit so you could do it in a sink as well. Bring your shirts to the party tomorrow, along with any stencils/puffy paint/markers, etc that you might want to use to decorate your shirt. See you at the there; I can't wait to see how the shirts turned out!
