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.

No, not at all. By the time my shirt goes to the washer, most of the excess dye has been rinsed out.

[@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.

so far my tie dyes are bleeding, especially when i use pink or purple. i think i have to rinse even better and not wash on 40 degrees celcius but completely cold

[@pj3132]

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. I bought several sets and I use them constantly when I ice dye. Silicone Cake Molds: amzn.to/2EnsaU2

[@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.

[@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.

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.

Can you do these with the tulip dyes? Planning to do this for my boys birthday as THE activity of the day but have never done it. Want something simple and easy and fun, do you recommend the one step dyes like tulip dyes and do I need to wash the shirts first? Some say it needs to be wet before dying, is That necesario

[@FunEndeavors]

You can use the Tulip dyes. I suggest washing the shirts before you dye to get out any chemicals that were used when the shirt was made. I think that Tulip adds the soda ash into the dye bottles, so I wouldn't mix the dyes until right before you are ready to use them. If you are interested, I've made a couple beginner videos for a tie dye party. Here are links to those. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJTTeYaPlqmjn7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYaweIdupc-qpMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2fUioRjr6-Nf5Y I have boys and when they were young, they loved to make spider shirts (the 2nd link). I used to tie dye outside with them so that they could be a bit messier. Make sure you wear old clothes and cover your work area if it is something you don't want covered in dye. I hope you have lots of fun!

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.

[@vaniacostner706]

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?

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.

Que tipo de tinta., em Português

[@lucas.jx2]

is there a way i can ensure the spiral comes up from the bottom of the tshirt?

[@FunEndeavors]

The spiral on this shirt is at the top of the shirt because I found the area of the shirt where the neck of the shirt was and applied dye to that area. If I want a specific area dyed - I will sometimes mark that area of the shirt with a washable marker before I begin tying so that I can find it easier after it is tied. So in this case, you could mark the bottom or hem of the shirt and then after it is tied, you can apply dye to that area of the shirt.

[@frutodeurano]

Que liquido le pone al final para fijar la pintura en la polera ???

[@FunEndeavors]

@@frutodeurano I use Procion Fiber Reactive dyes. To permanently fix them to the shirt, I soak the shirt in a soda ash solution before I tie it which raises the pH. Then after I apply the dye I allow the shirt to sit for at least 24 hours at a temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit to bond the dye to the fabric. Then the shirt is rinsed and washed. I don't have to add any additional liquid - after this process the dye is permanent.

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.

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.

[@yanzi8543]

Can I ask you how tight you put the rubber bands?

They aren't super tight. They are tight enough to hold the folds and keep them spiraled, but not so tight that it starts to make the shirt fold in on itself.

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

[@FunEndeavors]

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.

Hola oye y por qué no tapas tu Tina y después es agua se la echas al inodoro o se le echas directamente al inodoro es mi humilde opinión gracias por compartir saludos desde Cuernavaca Morelos

I enjoyed your video. Explain why you gradually rinse from cold water to hot please? Thank you.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I rinse in the cold water to rinse the soda ash out of the shirt. Since the dye needs soda ash (a higher pH) and heat (that's why I rinse in cold water) to react and bond with the fabric - once the soda ash is out of the shirt, the chance of the white area getting stained lessens. After I've rinsed really well in cold water, I gradually warm the water up to rinse out the excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric. The hot water is what helps to rinse out the dye so that it doesn't continue to bleed color with each washing. I add the Blue Dawn Dish Soap into the hot water when I soak the shirt to help neutralize the pH of the water and keep the white area from staining.

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.

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.

Hello there , I need some tips from you , I will like teach this o a youth group in my church.

[@FunEndeavors]

Hi! This would be a great design to do with a Youth Group. I've tie dyed with the Youth Group at my church before and their shirts turned out really cool. I didn't do a single color though, I let them dye them however they wanted to. I offered the rainbow colors and black dye. We did the process outside. I set up 8 foot tables and a couple of stations for dyeing on each table. I also had a couple of separate tying tables. All the Youth couldn't tie dye at the same time. Part of them were tying their shirts while others were dyeing them. If your group is large, you can have another game or activity for those who aren't tie dyeing to participate in until it is their turn. I used long under the bed plastic containers that have metal shelves over the top for the dye stations. Generally 2 teens can use 1 container at a time with 1 shirt on each end. Since they are deep, I didn't empty the bottom of the container after each use, but I did clean the metal rack so that dye transfer from the shirt before didn't happen. I had helpers at each station and I taught them how to spiral a shirt before we started. I'm sure your group will have a lot of fun making their own shirts.

Hello @funendeavors was curious when you put the washing machine you should only wash it on cold water right not hot. 🤔🤔😊😊😊🙏🙏 love this video tutorial by the way , amazing job💯💯🔥🔥 I've just subscribed

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! No, I wash it in hot to get out any of the remaining unbonded dye. Once the excess dye has been washed out of the shirt, it can be washed in cold water from then on whenever the shirt is laundered.

[@SeasonsOFcolors]

Do you wash it hot water when it makes it to the washing machine ?

[@FunEndeavors]

Yes, I do. I also use either Synthrapol or Dharma's Professional Textile Detergent in the washing machine.
