The Dye DIY: Band It, Squeeze It, Unwrap the Pattern
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is The Dye DIY?
A tie dye workshop where the fabric goes under rubber bands before any color touches it. Shirts, beach bags and similar items come in, and you pull a pattern out of each one to order.
How to play
Every order starts with folding the fabric and holding it with rubber bands, and since the banded areas take no color, this is the step that decides the pattern. Then you pick shades from the dye bottles and squeeze them onto the sections of cloth. Once the color has dried you take the bands off and see what appeared. Land near the color family the customer asked for and the order is complete, and a new item arrives.

Tips
- Tight bands give thin rings, while loose ones give wide waves.
- Squeeze related shades into neighbouring areas, because sharp opposites blend into a muddy tone.
- Working from the middle outwards makes the spiral sit straighter.
