If you want the color to come out less blotchy and more even, saturate the clothes with clean water before you add it to the paint water. It spreads the dye through the fabric more evenly.

[@youcanforgetaboutme57]

Thank youuu

[@abbymay9116]

water with soap ?

[@bruisedviolets]

BAKUGOU’S BIATCH no, just water

[@lordfarquaads_mom3683]

I love your vids!

[@SebastiansLeftGlove0731]

Can I use fabric paint instead of doing all this?

[@GlowandLuna]

DO NOT. REPEAT. DO NOT PUT SAFETY PINS IN A WASHING MACHINE. If it comes undone, it can rip up clothing or break the machine. Please do not put safety pins in a machine. No metal!

[@aryanmanas6170]

K

[@adaynasmile]

Yeah just tie a knot at the top. Easy.

[@victorialiang5708]

I always puts a large safety pin in the washer, nothing happens.

[@victorialiang5708]

Actually, it might be cause it's very hard for it to become undone, and come off of the kilt it's on

[@lilianagonzales2612]

vlctoriaa dont wait until something happens, be careful

[@demieetheweirdone2989]

Rinsing it under cold water before letting it dry gives more of an even finish ☺️

[@cg-hb4ex]

Does it stain on your skin after?

[@jedediahgordon4064]

or if you your trying to hide from your kids the fact that there cloths are hand me downs LOL

[@joywalsh6150]

If you wash the clothes with just water to get any chemicals out before you do the dyeing then it will probably help stop the splotchy areas.

[@111inh]

I’m so cheap I do this all the time 😂, I had book character thing (I chose Alice in wonderland) I got a white shirt and skirt. I dyed it blue and made the apron with a large t-shirt.

[@publicunknown]

I've watched this video a few times (because I forget what I am supposed to do a lot) and if you are like me and are trying to get to the tutorial, go to 1:17 to skip the intro. The intro does have some useful information so I do recommend watching that first if you are just starting.

[@xen591]

Jesus ive been waiting for this video. Ive been looking for a new way to dye clothes 😣 the queen has saved my life again 😂

[@j4yh3]

have you seen the harness that Jimin wore in the 4th muster live performance of best of me? I think it would be a real cool diy 😁

[@attackfrogs]

this works great for minky fabric, too! which is great, cause i needed some minky in a specific pale skin tone colour for a character plush, and this method for getting that colour worked like a charm! the minky 'fur' gets a bit stiff when it's all dry, but just running a comb or brush over it gets it nice and soft again

[@mdempsey7128]

I love textile medium. Last year I did a little project with my niece. We decorated t-shirts using stencils.

[@cupcakefox5026]

Your niece is very lucky to have a cool aunt that does art with them!

[@cool-guy-wannabe]

This works super well! I'm doing a Joker cosplay, and I needed red gloves.I used this metheod and it worked amazingly. Imixed red with orange and it turned out nice. I'm also doing this with a hat, but its super heavy and the paint spreads VERY easily.I used dark blue for the hat. Wear gloves if you are doing this!!!

[@panativeandnaturegirl5862]

I've done some tie dye, and this would be so awesome to use this method instead of rit! Yay!! So awesome!

[@biancarodriguez8980]

did this work with tie dye?

[@remiolagoke]

I just subscribed to you. I love thrifting, being frugal and diy clothes... and mustard yellow. sooo you're pretty much my spirit animal!

[@chloew2673]

I actually liked the look of the yellow shirt and how it was a darker yellow in some places

I was scared you were going to drop the camera in the bucket 😂 but tge shirts came out so pretty

[@angelinagooch2120]

I'm definitely going to try this method on like pillow cases and some covers for my wicker baskets

[@iheartsanna3]

I love ur aesthetic! Minute that rose came through I thought “lemme subscribe “❤️😍🥰🥀🌹

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I might try this. I've wasted so much money on Dylon that doesn't take when following instructions to the letter, then trying tips and trick online like microwave fixing to no avail. Acrylic is way cheaper. I've also had some results cutting open a permanent marker and letting it bleed into the water.

[@stephanieheslop2177]

You are so creative, with all your clothes videos! Love them all please keep doing them ❤️

[@Elizabeth-xv7xd]

Great concept. Great diy. Easy, cheap, and simple steps to follow and remember.

omg im doing the exact same thing!

[@Dreeraven]

OMG THIS IS PERFECT!!! I'm making my Renaissance Faire costume to match a shield that I painted with acrylic paint last year, and I was looking at Jo Ann and just *could not* find dye that matched the paint I used. *Problem. Solved.* Edit: I haven't tried this method out yet, but I'll let you all know *when* I do! Bye! 😙

[@kellyjean13013]

I go on binges of your videos and today is one of those days! Love that you do affordable and cute stuff that’s popular! Is there anything different that needs to be done if we don’t use the medium? If we just use the acrylic paint?

[@thespiderofhonor3732]

worth noteing ive done this before without textile medium and it worked fine so if you dont have it or you cant find it you can leave it out

[@shellbug3100]

I love the look of the tank!! Ty, ty, ty for the cool new dye ideas!!!

When adding salt to paint h20 maybe help for the synthetics?

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

And does THE paint last when you wash it later on? OR will THE whole washer with clothes be yellow?

[@Sobriebaby]

Laura Flohr yeah she said wait 3 weeks before you wash it

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Brianna Turton oh thanx didnt hear that. Great then certainly gonna do this !!

[@liandel7911]

hello, did you try it? did it work?

[@longname4784]

Creative Cheers of Fashion Laura Flohr did it turn the clothes a different colour?

[@laurencarter55]

I have questions: #1 after wearing the shirt can you regularly wash it with the rest of the clothes or wash it separate ? #2 if you use just the paint and water will it still work ? #3 after washing it will the colour fade?

[@laurencarter55]

Yessssssssss I’m so glad you finally did a video of the paint dying

[@trishanotpatricia7043]

For the purple tank, the top back was the only part of the whole tank that didn't have a second layer of fabric touching it, so I think that the liquid dye that dripped off the top back portion ended up clinging/saturating between the two layers of the rest of the tank.

[@trishanotpatricia7043]

Maybe for future dyes, it would help to layer of plastic wrap (not cardboard/paper materials bc that would absorb the liquid) between the two layers of the top so that the liquid continues to drip downwards instead of building up between the fabric layers.

[@TyanahDove]

Definitely going to try this! I’m trying to make a light purple butterfly costume but apparently no one have a 2 piece purple set 🤦🏾‍♀️so going to try this out and hopefully this works!!

[@cupcakesforglee]

Could you like put the remaining mixture in squeeze bottle to store it? I’m wondering cause I wanted to use this dyeing method to tie dye! Putting it in a squeeze bottle might offer more control and a storage option as well. But then again the garment wouldn’t be able to soak unless it was really saturated which might’ve kinda hard to do from just a bottle 🤔

[@Zeevisual]

You can place the left over mixture in an airtight container. Knowing acrylic you can put it in a squeeze bottle and splash it on the clothing piece like regular tie dye, diluted of course. Let it sit a few minutes and rinse it. Should work great

[@renaree7350]

Finally someone with decent diy videos

[@ryle1683]

In my country RIT dye is stupidly expensive, my only question is, does it works with Denim jeans?

Most likley.

[@mirandathepandakitty1630]

Hey did you try this with denim? If so did it work?

[@anastasiajames6365]

I’m not sure how the water would effect it but I paint on denim with paint and medium and it turns out nicely! Just wash your denim without any chemicals first so the paint will hold better

[@kitsodube9322]

@@anastasiajames6365 any denim right? And do I need to have a specific brand of acrylic paint?

[@bellarodrigues7802]

2 questions: what does the textile medium do? And do you have to put it through the dryer?

[@marleensmit4821]

bella rodrigues it makes sure the shirt or whatever stays soft

[@CS-di1dt]

It makes the paint flexible so it doesn't just get crusty and chip off :)

[@juli-fz7ep]

does it come out when it comes out of the laundry? btw nice vid! i subbed :)

our queen is back 👑💕

[@leannelyon73]

Does the colour come out a little next time its washed, being acrylic paint?

[@lorenafilms]

i haven't tried this yet, but i don't think it'll come out. When you paint and get some acrylics on your clothes, they don't come out either even if you want to XD

[@choochoopicklepie]

I think it will over time

[@valeriemartinez9074]

drying it with a blow dryer might be a good idea just make sure not to get too close cus once I messed up a shirt I burned it cus I put it too close to the material like litterly touching it but yeah thanks for sharing I will totally be trying this cus love the tye dye effect it gave

[@Minadarling119]

FYI as an Artist myself please make sure your acrylic paints are non toxic by either reading the back of acrylic paint or by asking the store employee who has some sense of paint safety Cadmiums colors and Cobalt Colors are toxic and contain heavy metals

[@creepycrawly101]

I wonder if you use this method for dying denim? I’m really looking for some way to dye my denim jacket without bleach.

[@MerakiPainter]

That’s why I’m trying rn with black on cheap “denim” pants

Can you do the same thing but with oil paints. If I let's the oil paint in hot water and then added it to the bucket do you think it would work.

Okay, SO I’m plotting some arm sleeves for cosplay (and less body paint) would this be good to use on tights? I’m shooting for Data from Star Trek (TNG) so it’s gonna have to be a slightly faint color. Also, would adding a splash of metallic paint hold after drying and wash?

thank you Nava Rose, just what i was looking for ~ i have a lovely black and white dress gifted to me, but reminds me of a cow, ha! i'm hoping to dye the white to a diff color ~ do you have a suggestion? i'd rather it be a nighttime fancy look, it's cotton, an elegant style... just don't wanna remind anyone of a cow : ) hmmm... maybe a darker blue?? thoughts?? thank you so much ~ all best to you!!

*Does this bleed a lot when washed after dyed?*

[@SpicePrincess1890]

Great idea! I can't really afford to use Rit dye and don't feel like using harsh chemicals. I have a peice to dye for a cosplay... it's bright green but i need it much, much darker. This is a great solution (although im going to try it with fabric softener!). Luckily the piece I'm dying is 100% cotton as well lol

[@JM-ft4js]

Ooh there's this new acrylic paint called musou black. Supposed to be the blackest black paint (absorbs 99.4% light). Would that work with this method, like keeping what light absorbing percentage?

What do you recommend if you don’t have access to a dryer (they’re really not common in the uk!). Is the heat what matters? Would ironing or blasting it with a steamer work? Thanks in advance!
