Tie dye your t shirt at home easily
Step 1: Place a pre-washed, still damp (the fabric should not be dripping wet, but evenly damp as if it came directly out of the washing machine), t-shirt flat on a smoothed plastic drop cloth.
Step 2: Pick a spot on the shirt and pinch some fabric to place between your fingers. Some use a fork in place of your hands but that has been known to tear the fabric if you are not careful.
Step 3: Twist your fingers to begin the spiral twirl and begin wrapping the fabric around your pinch. Continue twisting until it resembles the shape of a cinnamon roll.
Step 4: Rubber bands (or tied string) is used to hold the fabric together. Slide the rubber bands under and over the spiral so that the fabric will hold its shape during the dyeing process.
Step 5: Wear your dust mask and dissolve 1 cup (8 oz.) of Soda Ash Fixer per gallon of warm water. Soak the tied garments about 5-15 minutes (until saturated). Reuse solution until gone. Squeeze out excess so garment is just damp, not dripping.
Step 6: Using your dust mask and gloves, combine water with all chemicals except dye. Add liquid to dye gradually, pasting up to avoid lumps. Apply the dye to your shirt using squeeze bottles, paint brushes, sponges, etc., as many colors as you want. Easiest to use a funnel to pour dissolved dye into squeeze bottles.
Step 7: Put fabric (still tied) in a plastic bag (the idea is to keep it wet and chemically active - any method of keeping it wet is O.K.) and let sit for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours to "cure". Shorter times work better in summer, and longer times are needed when it is cold.
Step 8: Remove from bag and while still tied, rinse off the excess dye under cold running water (faucet, hose or shower), then rinse in warmer water while you untie and after garments are untied, until water runs fairly clear. Have your washing machine pre-filled with hot water with Synthrapol and throw in the clothing as soon as it is rinsed, running it through a full cycle.

How to patch/distress your jeans in home
Here's what you'll need:
a pair of jeans
razor blade
sand paper with lower grits (very rough)
a block of wood
a pair of jeans
razor blade
sand paper with lower grits (very rough)
a block of wood
STEP 1: WOOD
First place the block of wood into the jeans as support for your distressing with the razor blade.
STEP 2: BEGIN SCRAPING
Once you've put the wood under the spot that you want to have distressed, you can being to shave the fabric with a razor blade.
STEP 3: SCRAPE REPEATEDLY
The scraping may take awhile till you see results. Be patient! You will slowly see that the threads are weakening.
STEP 4: CHANGE TOOL
Once you've started to create a small hole in your jeans, you have the option of switching to sand paper. The sand paper will speed up the process.
STEP 5: SAND YOUR JEANS
I taped the sand paper to a block of wood so that I could had more control over the paper. Continue to sand in the same spot in all directions.
STEP 6: KEEP GOING!
As you continue to sand the fabric, you will notices that the fibres are breaking apart. This is really preference and you can choose to stop whenever you want. The more you sand, the more threads will break and the bigger hole you will have.
STEP 7: REPEAT IN OTHER SPOTS
Now that you've made your first distressed spot, you can continue to do the same to other places on your jeans. The trick is to do it on spots where distressing looks natural like on the knees. You can also do other things like soften the jeans or fade them using bleach.
