How to Do Ombre or Gradient Tie Dyeing | Tie Dyeing

[@ethank5681]

Legend has it, she's still dipping the cloth in the dye to this day

[@RochelleAndMegan]

I laughed way too hard at this.

[@MrSpazzard]

I know it's an old vid, but there is a far better way to do this, and it just involves osmosis, alcohol and wetting the fabric constantly... The dye just creeps up, and as long as you keep the top of the garment wet you get a far better result than this... Keeping the garment wet is the key though... The wetter it is at the top the less the dye creeps, but it is the most natural looking way to do this.

[@safeeyab6291]

Ooooh! Do you use water and alcohol or just either or? Is the bottom also wet?

[@holidaypenguin]

@@safeeyab6291 The way I do it is soak your garment totally in water, take it out and hang it to let all the water pool down in the bottom. After a while, the bottom will still be very wet but the top will start to dry. Quickly flip the sheet over, holding the wet part, and now dip into your dye vat. The drier fabric soaks up more dyed water, absorbing less and less as the other side is already soaked in clear water. Pull it out and leave that bottom darker edge in the dye vat and the dye will continue to creep up, but will pool at the bottom. I looked up how to do this to see if there is another way, but I think the 'pre-soak with clear water' / 'keep the top wet while soaking the bottom in dye' method works best. I don't need to use alcohol personally. I have a bucket that is split in two for this, and I keep clear water in one and the dyed water in the other.

[@leonardaquino6243]

you should let us see the result.

[@RaederlePhoenix]

I would have liked to see what it looked like after it was done.

[@amaitheweirdcatartist6957]

Same here.

[@jacksapple5773]

i just watched a woman talking and dipping cloth in dye for 4 minutes -_- why didn't you show the result? how am i supposed to know if this even works?

[@Paigeycita]

It actually doesn't. She didn't end up with an ombré result, she only got three stripes. If you want to see a REAL ombré, check out Karen Kavett's video on improving clothes from a thrift store.

[@DataCass]

@@Paigeycita thanks! this was a big help!

[@Paigeycita]

EmTheGreat ;O No problem! :)

[@natasharaymond8958]

if I were to try this I think I would do In reverse I suppose so dip the bottom to achieve a darker look. Allow to dry. Then dip again to achieve the lighter gradients at the top but get a really nice dark colour at the bottom by doubling up the colour

[@KennedyOkami]

Thanks! I'm new at sewing, I've only made to barbie dresses by had (tres chic!) and two pillows (tres...comfy?) haha! But I have big plans and ideas for designs and products. I REALLY want to make dresses, and this technique will really help once I learn how!

[@imagineglasses7552]

Thank You! This is a perfect beginning technique for me! I am totally using this for my Halloween costume

[@BuddhaScribe]

You gave me several good ideas. Thanks woman 🥂

[@MixieMoon]

what color fiber reactive dye did you use?

[@sam195027]

If i want to manufacturer 100 tshirt do i have to do one by one or how

[@MegaBusterMovies]

Im dying some black pants with a sort of crimson red rit dye. I want to do a fade on them and i was wondering if the pants are still going to be able to soak up the red properly?

[@ErelimHawke]

+MegaBusterMovies well, have you already bought the pants and dye? if you haven't, id get some red pants and black dye - trust me, with some looking up on the internet or in the right stores, youll find the exact red pants you need! itll be much easier since you pretty much cant dye black without bleaching it first

[@hokulea1234]

I have 5 yards of fabric. How can I Ombre dye large fabric?

[@Divadestruction19199]

Fold it so that all of it will be covered. Fold it small enough to where it will fit into the opening of the box/bucket. :3 XD

[@Saiyosakato_id]

interesting, new knowledge for me, May I know what your coloring?

[@sofiesongekittelsen3407]

How does it work on synthetic chiffon?

[@mitsy565]

aint nobody got time for that

[@silverhaze8737]

Hi, I dyed my t-shirt using this method, but then when I made the first washing with the washing machine - as I feared- all the upper white side turns out pink (I used a red color). How can I fix the color and wash ombré dyed wearing without this happening?

[@midnightmemories2074]

Hand wash it before putting it in the washer for the first time

[@princedaniel2821]

What dye shoud I used?

[@woosh90]

***** would this work on tulle also ?

[@elin3801]

We don't have tie-dye where I live, can I use something else?

[@princessnikki2741]

You can bye it online. Also you could just find regular fabric dye possibly at your local craft store.

[@MylkT1023]

would this work on polyester satin?

[@amaitheweirdcatartist6957]

MylkT1023 no it actually wouldn't because the texture is so much thinner than cotton

[@janieallen161]

Only natural fibers can be dyed if I remember correctly

[@chibikomeh]

@@janieallen161 There are dyes for synthetic fibers, but they're harder to work with (like some require you to work with boiling liquid, not impossible but harder). They are also less likely to be effective and may ultimately damage the material in the end.
