The steps are as follows: 1 design your graphics; Sew the place [usually thread] that does not need to be dyed with needle and thread, and then tie it tightly. If there are large areas, you can tie them up with plastic bags. 3 Soak the tied cloth in clear water for about 15 minutes. 4. Add hot water to the pot, then add the dye and stir. 5 Add salt (twice the amount of dye) to the soaked cloth, take it out after about 1 hour (the water in the pot should be clear) and wash off the floating color. It is ok to dry in the shade.
