Dylon works on cotton as we have used it on towels. Never really into the 1960s Flower Power but don’t you just use rubber bands to scrunch the fabric. Sure there will be videos on the Tube.

Used to tie a t shirt up with string, then use dylon from woollies , came out like a spiders 🕷 web 🕸. Those were the days.

Bought my granddaughter a tie kit ( for kids). Came with a load of rubber bands.
The die wasn’t very bright though- but it was a kids kit. Dylan will be better

Reason I'm asking I don't like any of the curtains or material I've seen, thought I'd try an alternative.
