I was thinking, as you were doing this that you could also make a smaller margin where you place dye.. so then when it creeps, as it will, you will be left with the right amount of white and color? I LOVE the idea of the thickened water! So that must just lock out the dye? I would love to see that done. Thank you for ALL your amazing videos. Ive learned SO much from you Angie!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks! I usually just leave a larger white area than I really want and expect some of the color to creep over there. The dye likes to travel to an area that isn't already saturated with either dye or water. So, the thickened water will fill the fibers and hopefully deter the dye from creeping into that area as much. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos - thank you for watching!

[@pj3132]

I have one more question - its about the clear cake collars you used. I was looking at that as an alternative to cardboard for ice dyes. It seemed to hold up against a round ice dye.. have you ever used it for a longer one? Results? Im really curious about it. Thanks Angie!

[@FunEndeavors]

@@pj3132 I have only used the clear cake collars with spirals. I actually prefer to use silicone cake molds most of the time. They are more expensive than the cake collars, but they are washable and reusable. They are also thicker and more easily molded to odd shapes like geodes. I will hold them in place around the shirt by clamping clothes pins next to them on the rack. Here is a link to the silicone cake molds so that you can see what I am talking about.

After applying dye on the t-shirt we should wash it immediately? And should we wash the t-shirt first

You should wash the t-shirt before you begin to get out any chemicals that might be in the fabric from the production process. After I apply the dye, I put the shirt aside and wait 24 hours before I rinse it.

Do you have any videos of dying the bottom half instead of the top? I’d just like to see how that looks! Or do you have any tips for not getting dye on a small stitched on design on the top left chest area? Thanks!

[@FunEndeavors]

I don't know that I have any videos specifically on putting the color on the bottom of the shirt. You would just put it on the opposite 1/2 of the shirt as this one. On the part of the shirt that I left white. To avoid getting dye on a specific area, you can isolate that area, tie it off with sinew and cover it with a plastic baggie to try to keep the dye off of it. I have done a couple of shirts using that technique. The designs were right in the middle of the shirt though.

[@samsta65]

Lovely shirt. I just subscribed and I’m wondering why you use hot water. Does it set the dye?

[@FunEndeavors]

No, the dye should already be set by the time I begin the rinsing process. I use hot water when I rinse the shirt to get any of the excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric. It is the best way to get out the extra dye so that it doesn't continue to bleed color in the wash.

[@natejunt6254]

After I rinse 2-3 times would I be able to wash multiple shirts in the washer together , or should I wash them 1 at a time?

[@FunEndeavors]

After I rinse my shirts really well I usually wash them together. If the colors are really dark or drastically different (like a yellow shirt and a black shirt) I don't wash them together, but if the colors are similar I will put them all in one load. I always add a bit of Dharma's textile detergent to the washing machine too and that will help keep any of the excess dye that is washed out from bonding with the shirts.

[@OwlsRNotWhatTheySeem]

Does it work better if you let the shirt dry out a lot after soaking in soda ash or can u soak and hand wring really well and dye righr away?

[@FunEndeavors]

You can hand wring the shirt and dye it right away.

[@noemielaeticiatourmentin6426]

Your explanations were clear and your demonstrations were better, I just want to say thank you for this amazing video and continue on. But I still have a question. After the rinsing process, is it obligatory to put in the the blue soap and like soak it ..... Because I'm afraid it kind of lighten the colour of the dyed part and even get on the white parts .

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it! It isn't necessary to use the Blue Dawn dish soap if you don't want to. The blue dawn helps to keep any of the excess dye that is being rinsed from re-depositing back onto the white areas of the shirt. It won't lighten the dye color though. The dye that is being soaked out of the shirt is excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric and that will eventually wash out of the shirt.

I took the rubber bands off before rinsing. I didn't think about it until after I took them off. What could I do to help keep the colors from mixing?

[@FunEndeavors]

The most important part is rinsing first in cold water to get out the soda ash. Once the soda ash is out of the shirt, the chance of the colors mixing gets greatly reduced since the dye needs soda ash to bond with the shirt.

[@karenlamontagne-ld6gu]

Is there anyway you can tell when the soda ash is all out? Does it feel different or something?

[@FunEndeavors]

No, not really. I just rinse in cold water for quite awhile. When I soak the shirt the pH neutral Dawn dish soap will help neutralize any little bit of soda ash that may still be hanging around so that the color won't re-bond somewhere else on the shirt.

Hello, there is no Daw brand dishwashing liquid in Turkey, can we use something else, what would you recommend? How hot is the water when soaking in detergent? I also want the paint not to flow on the white areas, what can I do? Thanks

[@FunEndeavors]

I would suggest a professional textile detergent like Synthrapol or something similar if you have that available. Otherwise, perhaps you can find another pH neutral dish soap to use. The water I soak the shirt in is very hot. If the shirt is slightly damp when you begin applying the dye, it won't flow as much as it will on a dry shirt.

[@ajupdateseravu9252]

Is it successful in polyester cloths

[@FunEndeavors]

No, not using the kind of dye that I use (Procion Fiber Reactive Dye). It will only work on natural fibers like cotton.

[@ishaaqabeebullahi1441]

Waooo! May Almighty bless you, for sharuhg this. Ma, please, how do i llcate where to put dye on?

[@girl870]

hi i did the same tie dye color. if i did one section purple and then the next section leaving it white as the pattern keeps going on, what do think it would look like?

[@FunEndeavors]

Each section of color you apply will make a swirl. The size of the swirl depends on the size of the section. I did 1/2 this shirt in plum, so the swirl is pretty large. The space that you leave white will also make a white swirl. This video shows what would happen if you added several smaller sections of color: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaXSqqhsZqeSl5Y

[@Tachyon_3D]

Can I use any kind if dish soap?

[@FunEndeavors]

I use blue Dawn dish soap in particular because it is a pH neutral dish soap. The purpose of adding dish soap is to make sure the pH isn't too high where the dye would be encouraged to bond back onto the shirt during the soaking phase. That's the reason that I use a textile detergent in the wash cycle as well. If your dish soap is a pH neutral one or at least not a higher pH dish soap, it would probably work. I haven't ever tried any other ones though.

The hot water is really useful to flush out any of the excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric. You could try using cold or warm water - just keep rinsing until the water is almost clear.

You can dye this design either damp or dry. If you are using fiber reactive dyes like I use, the soda ash is essential. Without it, the color will eventually wash out of the shirt. The soda ash raises the pH so that the dye can permanently bond with the fabric.

[@Luckyladyll]

If you use a rigid disc shape like a pie plate or plastic lid from a bucket container, etc., you can slowly let the water go behind the shirt by supporting it on the disc. If you are patient, and let the water pour off slowly by avoiding the white, there is little contamination of the white.

[@FunEndeavors]

Yes, that works too! Thank you for sharing!

[@LoVgida]

it is amarzing..i like to try it.what are the materials for one t shirt?

[@FunEndeavors]

You will need a 100% cotton T-shirt, soda ash, dye and a dye bottle, rubber bands, Blue Dawn dish soap and textile detergent or regular laundry soap. Soda ash: www.grateful-dyes.com/1-lb-dye-fixer/ Dye: www.grateful-dyes.com/plum-68/

[@aldoislas271]

Could this technique work with the bleach tye dye process?

[@FunEndeavors]

You could use bleach. If you bleach the shirt, make sure you neutralize the bleach afterwards though. Otherwise you will probably end up with holes in your shirt. To neutralize the bleach you can use a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water (1 part hydrogen peroxide and 9 parts water).

[@PeachPlastic]

Thank you for this great tutorial - such clear instructions and presentation! I have a question: I accidentally bought the kind of dye that comes in the form of dry crystals. According to the instructions, I'm supposed to dissolve the dye in boiling water and submerge any fabric I wish to dye in the steaming-hot dye-water solution. I doubt that works for this technique, so I wonder if pouring that mixture on my prepared t-shirt will make any difference to the outcome? Or should I stick it into the water sideways? I don't have that type of pointed bottle and I don't know if keeping the water hot enough matters for this kind of dye. Both the dry and liquid versions come in a box and I forgot to shake it to see if it was the one I wanted. :/ Edit: PS: Another tip: Adding vinegar is supposed to lock the pigment in the fibres better. Just pointing that out in case anyone wants to add that step after the first rinse/soak in dish soap water. (:

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much - I'm glad you liked it! I'm not familiar with the type of dye that you purchased. However, if it was me - I would probably try sticking the shirt into the hot dye sideways. I've done that with a shirt into color remover before and it worked fairly well. Vinegar is used during the dyeing process with some types of dye. However, it will not keep the shirt from bleeding dye with the type of dye that I've used (Procion Fiber Reactive Dye). The dye that is bleeding out is the excess dye that hasn't bonded with the fabric. Allowing the shirt to process at a high enough temperature for a long enough period of time is what properly bonds Procion Fiber Reactive Dye to the fibers. After the shirt is rinsed properly, the dye is permanent and won't fade. I have shirts that I made 10+ years ago and the dye still looks great. The fabric of shirt is wearing out, but the color looks bright.

Thank you! Here is a link to the dye color that I used: Plum from Grateful Dyes: www.grateful-dyes.com/dyes/

Thank you!

I dyed too much black on my shirt. Can I use dabs of bleach to get a better pattern? Don't want to put holes in it

[@FunEndeavors]

Bleach normally won't take black back to complete white without a pretty big risk of damaging the fabric. You could use Out White Brite to get the shirt back to a light enough color to dye over it with a different pattern, and try a spiral on a different shirt using black.

I’m doing this! 💜❤️🌈

Awesome!

What is the best overall dyes you have used that are beginner friendly?

[@FunEndeavors]

Dharma Trading Company, Prochemical and Dye and Grateful Dyes all offer tie dye kits using the same Procion Fiber Reactive dye that I use. They are also very comparably priced to the craft store kits. I personally would buy one of those kits. Dharma offers several different kit sizes to match whatever project you would like to start with. Here is a link to their kit page: www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/kits/tie-dye-kits.html

if i wanted to do a multi color effect in the area of only the plum (so keep half white) how would i go about that?

[@FunEndeavors]

You would do the same thing that I did on this shirt, but you would add all the colors in the area where I added the plum.

What exactly is “thickened water”? And can a similar method me used with liquid dye to make it stay in a certain dyed section with a less likely chance to bleed into other colors?

[@FunEndeavors]

Thickened water is made by adding sodium alginate into the water to make it thicker. You can do that with dye as well. Thickened dye won't run as much, but it is also a little more difficult to get it down into thick folds. I use thickened dye when I paint on a shirt using fiber reactive dye. It's also great for outlining or making intricate designs. Here's a link to the kind of sodium alginate that I buy: amzn.to/2EkHoZX You will need an immersion blender or some other kind of blender to mix the sodium alginate into the water really well, otherwise it will clump. The mixture will also continue to thicken as it sits for awhile.

Im gonna do this with a black shirt and bleach 🧡🧡🧡

[@FunEndeavors]

Awesome - have fun! Since bleach will continue to damage your fabric - don't forget to neutralize your shirt with a 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts water solution after you are finished bleaching.

How can I keep indigo and red dyes from bleeding? I am really struggling to perfect my technique with these two colors as a combination. I am using Rit dyes and soaked them in soda ash prior for 25 minutes before dying and left them to sit in their bags for 48 hours. I rinsed all four shirts totally clear individually and I added them to a bucket with 1 cup of salt, 2 cups of white vinegar, and three gallons of water to set together after they had been rinsed. I then put them in the washer together since they were all the same exact colors and ran it on cold water delicate cycle with a low spin, and I ran it three times. The first time the Indigo and red bled together making the white areas light lavender. The second time the red is the one that bled with a pink color in the areas that are supposed to be white. What am I doing wrong? I have been reading that Indigo and Red dyes can be the tricker colors to set. I am a big fan of your KZbin channel and wanted to see if you would do a video about it, or perhaps respond with some tips. Also, how can I fix items that have bled? Thank you.

[@FunEndeavors]

I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with using Rit Dyes. I use Rit Color Remover, but it is a totally different product. My understanding is that Rit dye is an all purpose dye that will continue to fade and bleed over time. The type of dye that I use is Procion MX Fiber Reactive dye. It is a totally different type of dye. The dye that I use will be permanent once it has bonded properly with the fabric. In addition, after the excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric has been rinsed from the shirt it will not continue to bleed or fade. I have shirts that are 10+ years old that are still as bright and vibrant as they were when they were new. If you prefer using Rit over a fiber reactive dye, you might be able to find some useful information on Paula Burch's website. Here is a link to an article that she wrote about using Rit dye to tie dye: www.pburch.net/dyeing/FAQ/rit-tie-dye.shtml

@@FunEndeavors thank you so much 😊

[@FunEndeavors]

@@888altamber You're welcome.

[@888altamber]

@@FunEndeavors do you recommend Jacquard Procion MX dyes? Or is there another brand you recommend?

[@FunEndeavors]

@@888altamber I personally haven't used Jacquard brand, but those will work - they are the same type of dye that I use. I purchase my dyes from several suppliers. I buy from Dharma Trading Company in California, Grateful Dyes in Colorado, Dyespin in Missouri, Prochemical and Dye in Massachusetts, and Custom Colours in North Carolina. All of the dye is the same type (Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye), but the colors they offer are different. Most dye colors are mixed, and so each supplier has a few unique colors that they have mixed. They are all equally good though. I purchase from all of the suppliers listed above and have never had any issues with their dye at all.

[@ruzni9588]

Can i do this with fabric paint?

[@FunEndeavors]

I'm not sure, I personally haven't ever tried using fabric paint.

[@doyeenisebephunme1293]

Pls I would like to ask, apart from dye what other chemical do you mix because my teacher always use dye, sulphite and caustic soda together. Also what is the purpose of soda ash

[@FunEndeavors]

I use Procion Fiber Reactive dye and I mix my dye by adding the dye powder and 1 Tablespoon of Urea for every 8 ounces of water. The Urea helps to keep the shirt from drying out during while it is processing and helps to get the dye into solution. The soda ash (sodium carbonate) is what I use to raise the pH so that the dye will bond properly with the fabric. From what I have read, the chemicals that you are using are mainly used to vat dye items and you may not be using the same kind of dye that I am either. I know that there are a lot of different types of dye available depending upon where you are located. I am not familiar with any other type other than Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes.

VERY good
