[@calypsob8375]

The music scared the shi outta me 😂 😂

[@emilyglasser1072]

You are incredibly talented 🎉 I have searched the internet for cat paw print, no luck😟 Yours is the only one😢 Is there any chance of you showing how to do a cat paw? 🙏🙏🙏

You mentioned thickening with guar gum. Any tips on a good ratio/recipe. Also do you use acid dye or fiber reactive, your colors are so vibrant! Thanks for your help!

[@CasualCollisions]

Fiber reactive. The thickening ratio is generally around 1/8 tsp of guar gum per 8oz of liquid dye. You might want to start with less guar gum to see how it works for you; and, be sure to let it sit for about 15 minutes after shaking/mixing to see how thick it becomes before adding more.

Where did you get the color boxes stickers for your dyes

[@WelshIron]

That's Pawsome!

[@CasualCollisions]

Punny comments are always welcome.

[@caliken10]

One of my favorites!

[@georgiastryffeler4301]

Can you please tell me what you used to thicken your black die, I think you said grewgum.. if that is not what you said will you please spell it for me so I can try to order some from Amazon? I love your videos they are awesome!!

[@CasualCollisions]

I use Guar Gum; but, most people use Sodium Alginate. There's really no difference between them. Guar Gum: amzn.to/3KkyEQz Sodium Alginate: amzn.to/3I8gOye #AffiliateLink

Nice! Thanks

[@gothicgatorsummers3446]

I would like to know if you're washing out with hot or cold water and if it matters? Also is the dye environmentally friendly?

[@CasualCollisions]

I washout with cold water until the soda ash has been removed and then switch to hot water to complete the washout. I have absolutely no idea. But, you're welcome to visit: www.dharmatrading.com www.customcoloursinc.com/ for information on Procion Dyes.

[@cathyshields9834]

I love this tie dye and will try it! I found a paw print and have downloaded it. Could you please tell me what the approximate size of yours is? Thank you and thank you for sharing!

[@CasualCollisions]

About 7.5 inches wide by 7 inches tall.

[@candacecooper312]

When you pinch it, do you have both sides of the fabric or one? If that makes sense.

[@CasualCollisions]

In the video, it's only a single side. But, if you want the paw print to be on the front and back of the shirt, you could pull both sides.

[@kariann226]

Oh u do it diff than some. Some fold it in half than fan fold it .

[@teriwestlake]

Love this video. How would you make the paw print on both sides?

[@CasualCollisions]

You would need to tie off both sides separately for the best result. It can be tricky to be able to position everything when you're dyeing the paw prints black; but, as long as you're using a thickened dye, take your time, and cover the paw sections with plastic wrap to protect the rest of the shirt, it usually works out well.

[@vickijones9310]

Love it! Actually All of them

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@benpeterson7456]

do you make this pattern shirt in different colors for sale?

[@CasualCollisions]

On some occasions. But, generally I only offer the single designs I create for the KZbin videos for sale on Etsy.

[@benpeterson7456]

Casual Collisions ok thank you our school logo is a paw print but school colors are green and white. Thought it would make a different school shirt for the kids

[@joefish1498]

May I ask what brand of marker you use. I cant find one I'm happy with.

[@CasualCollisions]

Crayola washable markers. I stole several from my kids. ;)

[@kathyjones7051]

is the purple marker you used washable ink?

[@CasualCollisions]

Yes, the markers I use to mark/plan the designs are Crayola Washable markers.

That's amazing

So awsome!!!!

Brother i tryied to dye one new t shirt but after dyeing and washing i look very fade why it happen so can u help me

[@CasualCollisions]

1) Is the t-shirt 100% cotton? 2) Did you soak the t-shirt in a soda ash solution for *at least* 20 minutes before dyeing? 3) Did you wring out/spin dry the shirt to somewhere between slightly damp and dry? 4) Did you use Procion dyes? 5) Did you let the dyed shirt sit for *at least* 18-24 hours before doing the wash-out? 6) Did you rinse the shirt with *hot* water? If you didn't do all of the above, your shirt will fade significantly after the first wash.

[@feliz289]

its cool very good

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@kayceetorres1009]

CAN I USED A RUBBER BAND INSTEAD OF THREAD ?

[@CasualCollisions]

Yes; but, it's going to be very difficult to get the rubber bands tight enough for this type of design. I have done it in the past; but, it's much easier when using sinew.

[@kayceetorres1009]

@@CasualCollisions thankyouuu. Btw.. your work is so amazinggg

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@ebbyjanehornsby2519]

thats so great im gonna make one for bae

[@haleynibert729]

This doesn't work

[@CasualCollisions]

The shirt shown at the beginning and end of the video is the shirt that was made during the video. I've made quite a few of this design - all using this method.
