Tie Dying using Zip Ties????

[Everyyeardisney]

I make my Mickey Head shirts every year for our family trip to Disney. Getting ready to make this years shirts and my DH has the idea to use zip ties instead of rubber bands. I think since he is the rubber band guy and by the end of doing all 15+ shirts his hands are raw, he is trying to save his hands. Great idea if it will work???? Anyone try this??? Would hate to ruin a bunch of shirts if it doesn't.

I'm very interested to know if this turns out!!! I hear ya about the sore hands, I think after I get my initial first band on each shirt nice and tight, I will put on gloves to assist with the next 40 (lol). I saw someone who posted that they use a doorknob to hlep with the stretching and tightening!!!

My only concern would be that it may be extremely difficult to cut the wire tie off without "nicking" the shirt. Maybe you should try on a rag or something first so you know the best way to cut them???

Let me know how you make out. I have been a long time poster on the family and community boards, but rarely come here. I will definitely be back to check!!!
