The history of Tie-dye is a modern term invented in the mid-1960s in the United States (but recorded in writing in an earlier form in 1941 as "tied-and-dyed". In 1909 as "tied and dyed" by Luis C. Changsut, for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes. Tie-dye is a process that typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment and binding with string or rubber bands, followed by application of dye(s). By manipulating the fabric before dying it this is called resists, as they partially or completely prevent the applied dye from coloring the fabric.

Tie-dye uses bright, saturated primary colors and bold patterns. Some patterns, including the spiral, mandala, and peace sign, and the use of multiple bold colors, have become cliched since the peak popularity of tie-dye in the 1960s and 1970s, however many other patterns designers are evolving today. I enjoy doing tie dye and letting my imagination go wild with amazing colors and different designs!
