If you're ready to try ice dyeing, but aren't sure how to get started, here are two popular layering methods to consider. See what happens when powdered dye is sprinkled on top of ice and allowed to melt overnight. Compare that to when the dye is placed directly on the fabric instead. Which effect do you prefer?

If you like tie dye, you'll love ice dye! Using melting ice and powdered dye, create colorful one-of-a-kind fabric, clothing or scarves. Perfect for beginners. #stayhome and dye #withme
