Marble Tie Dye

Have you ever been to Arimatsu?

There you can try your hand at dyeing techniques which were first created in 1608- over 400 years ago!!

We replicated those dyeing techniques using not strong but elastic bands, which are easier for little hands to tie.

We decided our pattern and then used marbles to form lots of circles on our handkerchiefs.

After dyeing and rinsing again and again, our handkerchiefs were finished.

They look great and were so much fun to make.
