Tie – Dye Instructions: Washing and Wearing

Our Grade 7s have created tie-dye T-shirts using colours that represent their House Teams (Quantum, Fidus, Persevero, Empathia, Integretas). We will be wearing these shirts to Camp Timberline, and for a few other Grade 7 events this year. A special thank-you to Ms. W for customizing our shirts! 

Instructions for first rinse + wash: 

Optional: put on gloves before beginning. 

  1. Over a sink, carefully open the bag with the shirt inside. Carefully remove all rubber bands (either pull them off or cut them). 
  2. Rinse your shirt in the sink under warm water. Keep rinsing several times, until the water runs clear. 
  3. You can now hand wash the shirt, or use a washing machine. Use a small amount of laundry detergent, and wash on a gentle cycle (cool water). 
  4. Make sure to wash the shirt separately (by itself) the first time, or it will stain other clothing! 
  5. Now, you can hang the shirt to air dry, or dry it on low heat by itself. 
  6. Make sure to wear your t-shirt on April 10th for our Grade 7 Camp trip!
