    Well I just got out and bouahgt me a tie dye kit, whooooo!!
    Im so excited, got 3 colors of die and rubber bands, the mixer stuff and shirt..

    Well I was wondering, Well I got an arrange of neon paints and was wondering if I could use it for tye dye. It would look crazy cool instead of the 3 colors I got. :confused::)
    And does anyone know where I can get instructions on how to tie dye and different patterns..? I like spiral the best :eek:
    I just want to be sure Im gonna do it right.

    I've seen paints applied in the dyer patterns.
    The differences are:
    paint does not flow through the fabric as dye does
    therefore you don't get color break and all those interesting "new" colors
    it feels different since paint coats like a screen print would.

    You could dye then add the paint as accents.

    Also, see the dye thread in Fiber Arts
