How To Tie Dye A Fish Scale, Mermaid or Dragon Scale Design Shirt

[@keithmiller8283]

Gorgeous - looks like a stitched Shibori in indigo...😊

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@theguywitheyebrows]

!!this is also amazing, very like the snakeskin tutorial you've provided but with this one the shirt isn't 'centered' first. this is gorgeous, im glad i saw this one because this is closer to what my queen sized sheet will look like. the sheet is originally brown so i plan to offset the application of a diluted bleach gel solution by about 5 min where you dark and light blue'd to set for 5 more mins, neutralize, then apply an od green to the bleached out portions and see what kind of results i get! hopefully today, wish me luck!! thanks for all your tutorials, ill use the camo bleach vid process, and i have an idea to equalize the sharktooth pattern the length of the accordion folded sheet. im not sure where the soda ash comes into play though, so i'll have to rewatch a few times and take notes to make sure i don't miss a step. im super excited to try this!! thanks a million!!

[@FunEndeavors]

I hope your sheet turns out awesome!

[@theguywitheyebrows]

n boy that sharktoothing is arduous and frustrating!! hard to make it look right, and then you see that your pleats aren't even and you get frustrated and start over |:

[@FunEndeavors]

@@theguywitheyebrows It does take awhile to fold and tie. How did your sheet turn out?

[@theguywitheyebrows]

@@FunEndeavors arguing with pleats currently lol will report back after i have success with tie up

[@FunEndeavors]

@@theguywitheyebrows 😂I feel you - that's a lot of pleating on something that large.

[@RevlisHaku]

this pattern in browns would work great for a turtle shell look too!

[@FunEndeavors]

That's a great idea!

[@pattic.2975]

LOVE IT!!! The stencil was genius! Why do you wear gloves when folding? Isn't it easier to feel without gloves? Love your pleasant/calming voice. Going to binge more of your videos! Thanks!!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you - I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! Soda ash really bothers my hands, so I wear gloves whenever I fold a shirt that has been soaked in soda ash. If I can find them, I purchase size small gloves that fit my hands pretty well so it isn't too bad.

[@pattic.2975]

@@FunEndeavors That's definitely a good reason! I was just curious as I'm gathering Intel deciding all the best practices. I'm learning a lot from you, one of my KZbin professors!

[@benjaminchristensen5678]

So I’m curious if I get a shirt with an image already on it specifically one for the new little mermaid movie and I want to do this for it to add some extra depth and uniqueness would it work still

[@FunEndeavors]

The design would work on the shirt, but I can't guarantee the image on the shirt would show very well.

[@wdchopnfool]

Cool design

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@erins.5420]

This pattern would make for a great bedsheet tutorial!! Wink wink ;)

[@FunEndeavors]

Absolutely!

[@susanwalter4041]

I Love your videos!!! Sp many new ideas! thank you!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you!

[@robinglover4278]

Love it!!but how does the white bits stay white?

[@FunEndeavors]

The sinew that I tied the shirt with is wax coated and forms a barrier that won't allow the dye to get under that area.

[@CraftArea]

Which colour you use for dye . Pls send tell name of colours

[@FunEndeavors]

All of the colors are listed below the video in the description. Here they are though: Blueberry, Lapis and Baby Blue from Dharma Trading Company: www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?lnav=dyes.html

[@57629589]

This is curing even as I watch. My first attempt.😎

[@FunEndeavors]

That's great - I hope it turns out looking awesome!

[@57629589]

@@FunEndeavors It did not come out quite right. Either I didn't tie it right or. I left it outside in the box to process. It built up a LOT of moisture in the box and may have run the colors.🤨

[@FunEndeavors]

Ugh...I hate it when that happens.

[@gloriagiefer3013]

What would you recommend for stenciling names on tie dye shirts and how to do it

[@FunEndeavors]

You can either purchase cheap plastic cutting boards from the Dollar Store to cut your stencil from, or use a Cricut machine and cut your stencil from removable vinyl. I haven't ever stenciled a name on a shirt. I have painted on a shirt with dye though and it's basically the same process. Here is a video showing how I dyed a shirt and then used thickened dye to paint on a design. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWnIgWurZrqHpqs

[@gloriagiefer3013]

@@FunEndeavors I think I'll take your advice and go to Dollar general cuz I can't afford to buy anything right now and that sounds like the cheapest way for stenciling I love your tutorials they're very specific and easy to understand

[@gloriagiefer3013]

Thank you for sharing that tutorial I appreciate it

@@gloriagiefer3013 That sounds good. Thank you - I'm glad you like them!

[@kariann226]

Can u do this one with ice ya think?

[@FunEndeavors]

You could, but I don't think the design would be as distinct.

[@Megcita]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! Do you think it would work with a cotton sweatshirt? If so, would you recommend just folding up the sleeves to fit within the width of the fabric like you did with the short sleeves? I especially love how the final shirt still has white. Do you think I could achieve this same look with nylon string, jute cord, or rubber bands? Thank you so much!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I've never tried this design on a sweatshirt, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Yes, I would just fold the sleeves to be the same width as the rest of the shirt. To keep the white areas, the artificial sinew really works the best. The sinew has a wax coating that helps it to lock down on itself when it is pulled tight, and form a waterproof barrier that won't allow the dye to get into that area. I don't think that you could keep the white area using jute or nylon. Here is a link to where I purchase the sinew. Artificial Deer Sinew: amzn.to/2EF28Lu

Qual o nome desse lápis q usa pra fazer as marcações? Desde já agradeço

[@FunEndeavors]

It is a Crayola brand washable marker.

I have been tie and ice dying for over 20 years and your videos are my favorites because they have new ideas! Please turn down the background music and/or go back to more calming. Thanks so much!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I'm sorry - I have reduced the music volume on my latest videos. My editing skills have gotten better.

[@susanwalter4041]

@Eric Von Zipper you don't have to be rude.

[@claycutter]

I am thinking how can I make this with ice dye ? hmm

[@gloriagiefer3013]

Where did you get the plastic cutting board

[@FunEndeavors]

I bought it from the Dollar Store.

[@gloriagiefer3013]

@@FunEndeavors could you be a little more specific there's 4 Dollar stores and they have different names

[@FunEndeavors]

@@gloriagiefer3013 I'm sorry - I think the one we have here is called Dollar Tree. If you don't have a Dollar Tree in your area, you can probably find them at either Wal-mart or Amazon. They just need to be thin enough to cut a pattern for the scales out of. You could also use cardboard or something similar.

[@gloriagiefer3013]

@@FunEndeavors yes there is a Dollar tree and I will look for it

[@gloriagiefer3013]

@@FunEndeavors I was watching another tutorial and they were using some clear liquid to dip items in to make patterns on a shirt do you know what that clear liquid might be and it was thick

[@winniegrant8113]

Awesome

[@mandrakethecat]

I want to try this on pants

[@FunEndeavors]

That would be cool!

[@dystopianrepublic8921]

Two things, if you told the sides of the shirt like the sleeves it will be even from both sides, giving the best gradient; secondly, with the stencil, if you put it on one side and just slide it up to fit above the next the opposite space would be marked off evenly

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Thanks. I've got a request for a 5 year old who's into dinosaurs and thought this could be dinosaur scales.

It absolutely could be dinosaur scales!

[@cacafrancajohnrylg.4022]

Next vid please put the color you use for dye hehehehe

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks, but I narrate the video and tell what colors I am using as I begin the dyeing process. For this one I used Dharma Trading company colors - blueberry right down the middle sinew line, then lapis next to it followed by baby blue on the outside portion.

If you would have used greens it would look like lights on a Christmas tree.
