Nail Head Shibori Indigo Dyeing Tutorial

This is a really fun pattern to make. It can be as difficult as you want it to be and as easy as you want it to be. You can make the nails very close together or farther apart.

I did this for each nail until I covered the entire piece. I recommend doing this while watching your favorite show or movie.
