“DON't BUY, DIY!”
In a world of endless buying and discarding, where clothes are worn once and forgotten, we're losing something precious—our creativity, our connection to what we wear, and our care for the planet. Fast fashion fills our closets and landfills alike, but there's a more vibrant way forward.
At Tie Dye High Five, we believe every old garment holds the potential for something extraordinary. We're a creative community that turns forgotten clothes into personal masterpieces through the timeless art of tie-dye. From festivals to local venues worldwide, our workshops have helped thousands of people rediscover the joy of creating—transforming tired t-shirts and forgotten fabrics into pieces they'll treasure.
Ready to craft against the throwaway culture? Join our community, attend a workshop, or reach out to collaborate. Let's create something beautiful together.
"Making the world a brighter place in 2025!"
We align our values and mission to support SGD 12 "Responsible Consumption and Production." Read why it matters here.
What we do
CRAFT:
We can pop up anywhere in the world to run a tie-dye workshop with you (all we need is a water supply). We run:
-
Workshops - these last 1.5 hours and include all the equipment and guidance you need to DIY
-
Drop-in dye sessions - these can run for hours, or even days, with stations set up ready to welcome tie dye high fivers
COLLABORATIONS:
We also work with like-minded brands to produce collaboratory product and partner on special projects with corporations or organisations. Helping companies get involved in upcycling, creativity and crafting for the good of the world.
COMMUNITY:
If you can’t make a workshop or not sure where we are, don’t let that stop you. Join the “creative community against fast fashion” by tie-dyeing an old garment at home and posting your creations with #dontbuydiy for all to see. It's free to do this, no threads attached. Follow @TieDyeHighFive, sign up for our newsletter or check out our blog.
Thanks for the shout outs!
