Hi, I know this might be some where here I just can't find it. I was looking for a tutorial on how to make these shapes using the rubber band tie dye method.
Heart
Peace Sign
Shamrock

Thank you so much, any help would be appreciated.

Check out the Tie-Dye Wiki for some good folding tutorials!

Heart and Shamrock are covered in some detail; the Peace Sign is complicated but the basic instructions aren't so different - you jut need like 5 hands to do it well. LOL

OK, I think I got the fold steps, but how do you get the little lines around the shape?
Thank you in advance.

The white line is where the tie goes, and the line around that is where some of the dye inside the shamrock bled past the tie (or where a bit of extra dye was applied outside the tie).

when doing a heart make sure you fold it nice and crisp other wise youll end up with a circle. this happened to me the first time i tried a heart
