hey Steph, I watch your channel a lot and I have been tie-dyeing for about 2 plus years , just wanted to pass a little F Y I I in using the gutters, I cut out a section out of the bottom and drilled several holes and attached some screen wire securing it with safety wire or bailing wire that way the dye can draining away from your project. I hope this helps you a little bit,, your doing a great job keep on dyeing, by the way, I'm retired law enforcement and use my tie-dye projects to supplement my city pension, I'm in B'ham, Al.......

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Thanks for the tip. If I don’t want the muck lines I usually rack dye the project, but most of the time the shirt is too long for the rack. 🤪 My ex is a retired Portland officer. Thank you for serving your community for all those years. 🫡♥️🌈

I found that by sticking a ruler inside your first pleat helps keep them straight and the same height. I still have to send you pics of the ones I did last week. Gotta get photos taken. I have to redo this one.

Hello! I learn from you each time I watch (and take notes). For this amazing shirt do you do everything the same for a long sleeve t-shirt? I imagine that corner at the shoulder will take some time. Thanks for inspiring me Jude

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Awesome! I’m glad to inspire. Yes, just keep pleating down the sleeve until you reach the end. ❤️🌈

[@scpatl4now]

I love the colors. When you pleat is the shirt still damp? I can't remember if you do it dry or wet. I find it easier if it is slightly damp. I always have problems with lots of pleats using rubber bands because I can never keep the pleats flat. The ends always make the middle pop out and I have to start all over, but that's with bigger pieces of fabric, although I have the same problem with t-shirts. I use chopsticks across the pleats on both sides and connect those with rubber bands. It's been a minute since I have done that though. I have a tray dye that I used loose pleats thats about to come out of the wash...I'll post it on FB...it looks promising thus far. Don't know how much color will wash out though.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I tie damp from the panda spin dryer. So, barely damp. Yes, rubber bands can do that sometimes. I haven’t tried the chopsticks but I’ve seen LSD use bamboo. I saw your tray dye. What is “tray” dyeing? It looked like it had a lot of color. It reminded me of LWI. ❤️🌈

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Wow, such a beauty of a shirt, Steph !!! Good thing you used a lot of yellow as it does tend to disappear. I love using rubber bands. I use a lot of Gildan shirts. They are a little more forgiving in size compared to other brands but I do agree that they are a bit on the scratchy side after dyeing. Loved your video. Thanks for sharing:)

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I’m glad you like it, Crystal, I like it too. I find the Gildan shirts to be short in length and one size too small. I like to wear the George shirts. I’m moving into using Bella Canvas. ❤️🌈

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Gorgeous shirt Steph, I love rubber bands when I can get away with them. I’ve had to backburner some tie dye projects this week due to work but got the Jones on to get back into it.

[@janetthrall6387]

Such amazing results for a pretty simple process!🥰 I am not that fond of Gildan shirts either. I recently bought some JC Penny Stafford Heavyweight Premium Performance t-shirts for projects I for my husband. They are a lot thicker fabric, so a bit harder to work with, but my first ever geode shirt turned out very well and for softness you cannot beat it! He has worn the Stafford shirts for years and loves them... now they are just tie dyed! A bit pricey if you do not catch a sale, but so worth the quality.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Having a comfortable shirt is worth every penny. Kirkland t-shirts are nice. They are true to size too. ❤️🌈

[@misqueenb4911]

I'm absolutely in love with these colors and this design 🥰🔥 I am just trying to understand the powder die and the ice I have been double dabbling and tie dye and different designs for the last year.. where do I find the tie-dye powder at and what is it called??😁😁. You are absolutely amazing ❤️

[@BellaLu26]

She gets hers from dharma trading company. I get mine from grateful dyes. They both sell the fiber reactive dyes (the procion dye powder). I ended up going with grateful dyes for a beginner kit. Better pricing overall but mostly because their kit came with 4 colors instead of 3. The only downside is they don't have anywhere near the colors available that dharma does

[@kariann226]

Omg I used the same colors as you but I think the order u have them in is what I messed up on. I did red violet, turq, daffodil than hot hibiscus. My shirt is soaking in a hot dawn wash and it's like a maroon and purples with a bit of blues. No yellows. Not bright at all. Dang it! I was SOOOO looking forward to this one! I guess imma have to try it over placing the dyes in the order u have em. Sooo. Lesson learned. I mean why wouldn't it work the way I had it thou?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Your shirt looked great! Your different dye placement caused different secondary colors as they blended together. Try it with the dyes placed like it did it and see if you get similar results. ❤️🌈

[@nyalicreverof3931]

Hi Steph, ive been watching your videos for quite some time. I was wondering if you could explain or tell me how i would know if a color will split? Please and thank you ma'am. Look forward to hearing from you. Benny Kiesov.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Hi, Benny. The primary colors don’t split. Fuchsia Red, Lemon Yellow & Turquoise. The rest do. Some colors split more than others. I’m working on the playlist Dharma’s Dye Swatches, single color ice dyes. I’m learning a lot about each color. The best way to know what a color can do is to play around with it. ❤️🌈

[@keriwright8490]

This is great. I have a problem with getting dark spots where the dye sits on the shirt and doesn't really dissolve well. Your ice looks really wet. Do you let your ice melt a little before you use it?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

That happens to me too sometimes. I usually hit it with another round of ice. No, my ice maker is taxed. I don’t think it really has time to set up. I hope that makes sense. Have you tried putting the dye on top of the ice instead? ❤️🌈

[@keriwright8490]

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I have and it is better but I still get some dark spots. Not as bad but the colors also don't get as bright. I was hoping wet ice was the trick. I'll keep playing. Thanks 😊

[@felsenruh]

One of my favorites of your projects, Stephanie. Question: when you wash a newly dyed project in hot water in a washing machine do you combine a group of projects into one load? If so, is there a risk of dye transfer from one project to another?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Thanks. Yes, I wash up to 8 shirts sometimes. Usually they are similar in color. I rinse very well and then use Keiralon and haven’t had issue with dye back. I batch for 48 hours so the chemical reaction is spent. If I’m trying to protect white I’ll wash them separately for a couple cycles just in case. Think about rainbows… all the colors are there. The colors don’t deposit on each other if it’s rinsed well before washing. I hope this helps. ❤️🌈

[@kariann226]

I absolutely love this shirt and have been dying to know how to do this pattern for a long time! So thank you so much for sharing! I've been batching my shirts for only 24 hours total..is there a real huge diff? Also. You're cute little chunks of ice are adorable and I've always wanted an ice machine, do you feel that these ice cubes versus store bought or homemade are a lot better to use for ice dying?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Where I live is cooler so I prefer a longer batch time for maximum vibrancy and less dye goes down the drain because it bonds with the fibers. To each their own. Some people batch for a few hours and pull their project. It just depends on what you want the final outcome to be. 24 hours at 70° is what Dharma recommends. I prefer the nugget ice out of convenience. Running to the store everyday was starting to add up. If you have a refrigerator ice maker that works too. Ice is ice. I use different kinds from time to time. ❤️🌈

[@kariann226]

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I am looking at different ice machines right now. I love ice, I hate having to make it 4 times a day, and the cubes I have are the typical ice cube tray ones. They're too large for inclined I think and take a long time to melt. What I'm finding on the links u shared are only bullet shaped. 22 mm and 25 mm. Do u have this one? What size are u using,?
