There is more than wild horses on the beach at Assateague. Every Tuesday during the summer at Assateague State Park they have Tie Dye Tuesdays after dinner and before dark. This is one activity the whole family can take part in.
Rubber Banding It
First you buy a shirt from the park at a nominal fee or bring your own. Next, you get the shirt wet under a faucet. Then, they have a printed guide on hand with examples to show you different patterns you can make via tie dye and how you would arrange the shirt and band it.


Applying the Dye
You can either use a squeeze container filled with dye to squirt on the fabric.

Or you can dunk all or a portion of the shirt into a bucket filled with dye.




If you fill in the gaps with as much dye as you can you are more likely to have less white in your final product.


The end result. What a cool shirt! It appeared fun was had by all who participated. If you are camping at the state park side of Assateague, Maryland, try Tie Dying a shirt on Tuesdays. It is a colourful way to remember your stay.
Nice use of selective color. But somehow, the participants look so “clean”. I would wearing some of that dye by the time I had finished.

Most let the workers with gloves dip it in the dye for them.

What an eccentric and lovely activity! Very taken with your clever photos, picking out the main subjects in colour.

Thanks! I try to use selective black and white from time to time to focus on specific things with colour.

The first time I went it was great to go out on the beach to watch the sunrise and have a group of horses join you. They enjoy it as much as we do!
