How to make a Tie Dye Heart T-shirt

May 20, 2022 by arabella

Perfect for Valentine’s day or simply year-round, this is an easy step-by-step tutorial to make a heart tie-dye design. It’s even in rainbow colors!
It also includes a free template to make it easy to make the perfect heart.

Looking for Tie Dye kits? Our prefered bran is Tulip Tye Dye kits with strong vibrant colours that last.

To make a tie-dye heart t-shirt, you will need the following materials: a white t-shirt, tie-dye kit, plastic gloves, rubber bands, and a heart template (which can be found online or made by hand).

Step 1: Lay the t-shirt flat on a work surface and place the heart template on top.
Step 2: Use the rubber bands to secure the template in place and create the heart shape.
Step 3: Put on the plastic gloves and mix the dyes according to the kit instructions.
Step 4: Apply the dyes to the t-shirt, making sure to saturate the rubber-banded areas thoroughly.
Step 5: Once finished, remove the rubber bands and template, and let the shirt sit for at least 6-8 hours, or according to the dye kit instructions.
Step 6: Rinse the shirt with cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 7: Wash the shirt in the washing machine and dry it.

Your rainbow heart tie-dye t-shirt is ready to wear!

Note: The instructions may vary depending on the tie-dye kit you are using, please follow the instructions provided in the kit.

Etsy Spotlight – The Thomas Boys Shirt Sewing Pattern

This week in our Etsy Spotlight Series, we’re loving the timeless charm of the Thomas Shirt Sewing Pattern for boys. This versatile button-up pattern is perfect for every occasion—from backyard playdates to weddings and special celebrations.

We think this pattern really shines when paired with fun, bold prints—think quirky florals, vintage cars, tropical vibes, or even festive Christmas fabrics! It’s a fantastic way to let your fabric stash shine while creating something practical and adorable.

This pattern is a must-have for any sewing parent or grandparent. The design is polished enough for formal wear (wedding shirt, anyone?) but still comfy and easygoing for everyday use.

Tip: Try sewing it up in linen or lightweight cotton for summer, or use flannel for a cozy winter version.

Whether you’re sewing for your own kids or making gifts, the Thomas Shirt sewing pattern is a classic that’ll be on repeat.
