How to Ombré Dye a Shirt

[@essyjae]

If anyone is interested in ombre dyeing shoes, I have a new video showing how to do that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXm8eoSkeZmleaM and thank you for the support!

[@katienguyen7233]

Sarah J (Pugdemonium) what if we want to do 2 colors on a shirt?

[@mikaelaso212]

Sarah Johnson - Pugdemonium can you use acrylic paint?

[@hey-bt1dz]

Omg the best ombré shirt I ever seen it so awesome I want to make it but I don't know what kind of paint should I use

[@basedprod99]

you mean dye?

[@essyjae]

+slimegirl Thank you so much! I used RIT dye, but it doesn't have to be the same one :)

[@yas-pl3bj]

DuhitsZoe XD paint???

[@cartercan2494]

Sarah Johnson - Pugdemonium does food dye work? XD

[@carol837]

Not a Kawwai Person but a weeaboo I don't think so cause when you get food colouring in your clothes and if you wash it, the food colouring is not there anymore 😂

[@purejoy6538]

The results on this were more subtle than using bottles. Really nice job.

[@RB-xp5vg]

Thank you! I made my own ombre shirt today and it comes out quite amazing. This also works with chlorine bleach

[@jamiefaith834]

Best tutorial I seen so far on ombre dying

[@essyjae]

@Starboy Trini I can't seem to reply to your comment, but it's RIT powder dye in the color Navy Blue. I've also linked it in the description :)

[@essyjae]

Thank you so much to the person who translated this video into Spanish! I really appreciate that you took time to do that!

[@MrsvioletQueen]

pretty! I love the final result.. I try to make my own ombre dress for my wedding..hope it goes well... 😃

[@essyjae]

Thank you very much! I hope dyeing your dress went well, too! I bet it turned out beautiful 😃

[@looseleaflyra]

it’s been 6 years, how’d it go?

[@meherunmeher4195]

It’s been almost 7 years,how is your dress doing?

[@polkaproductions8493]

*Dye spills* Song: I'm already everywhere!

[@otakulali]

Thank you thank you!!! The best tutorial I've seen till now!!♡♡♡

[@jeymsy989]

This kind of shirt is good for going to a Coachella Themed Party ..... Thanks , More DIY's to come 👍💙

[@vanvanvan3]

thanks so much! mine didn’t turn out as well as yours because the gloves i was wearing were covered in dye and i tried to hold up the part of the t-shirt so it went a bit messy but i am so grateful for this amazing tutorial xx

[@astonchannel1911]

Great tutorial! Best one I've found online. Thanks so much!!

[@TheShoeboxCollection]

“Helper” Dog really drove this video home for me :)

[@Danomiii]

El mejor video que he visto!! El resultado es espectacular!!! Gracias!

[@plmdancestudios2481]

add a little more dye

[@essyjae]

That's pretty much the theme of the video!

[@graceswygert3725]

Does it have to be the powder dye? or can it be just regular tie dye in the bottle? 😊

[@essyjae]

+Grace Swygert Nope - doesn't have to be powder dye. Concentrated liquid dye should actually work better, because the powder can be a bit messy 😊

[@josiebarber593]

Sarah Johnson - Pugdemonium I love you profile pic. and I have a Pug named Sarah

[@essyjae]

Thanks so much! Pugs are the best 😊

[@audrealambert9583]

Are you talking about food coloring? Because that WILL come off on your skin🗽👀

[@aims.j]

@@audrealambert9583 no they are talking about actual liquid dye dude.... Food coloring is not dye

[@stardust-jx4oz]

THIS VIDEO DOES NOT JUSTIFY HOW LONG THIS TOOK ME😂 it turned out great tho 👍💖

[@리카벨샤이라]

How long?

[@nydanysagittarius7939]

😂😂😂😂RIGHT like how many darn times do we needa keep just a little more DYE.😂😂😂😂😩😆Lol.

[@kimberlychloe7880]

Well did it work?

[@rhenaravanderhaar5414]

Thanks for the tutorial, even though it’s 9 years later haha. Planning on dyeing a white shirt like this with black. I was thinking of doing it opposite, like start with a concentrated dye and then dilute it but this is gonna work wayyyyyy better.

[@yellowjello3ify]

How long did the process take you? I plan to do this for a wedding dress

[@janabroflovski2572]

How are you Doin? i will not doing that,image this goes wrong,will ve a mess in your dress 😱

[@Nerdvillette]

How are you Doin? It took me about an hour, but the time will vary from how big the object your tie dying is.

[@meenapathare6171]

How are you Doin? did you do it yet? how did it turn out?

[@Camille683]

Oh my gosh I’m going to do the same thing! How did yours turn out?

[@yenisoediro9395]

it's so pretty!! but it takes a lot of time.. but IT LOOKS FUN TO DO!!

[@alexpectaculiar]

I've done it!!! And totally love it! Thank you so much

[@lul6275]

Wow its beautiful ! Can I use Acrylic Paint ?

[@babychimchim9945]

Damn that's ACTALLY really pretty

[@EdNorty]

That is one delightful song.

Thank you so much for this video \(◡̈)/♥︎ I dyed a hoodie in Denim Blue Rit dye following your instructions and it turned out beautiful! Here are some tips: 1) If you’re using powdered dye, mix it thoroughly! I didn’t and got red dots. Thankfully they washed away when rinsing. 2) Rinsing takes up more water and effort than you think. The instructions said to start rinsing with hot water and then gradually use cooler water as the water ran clearer - but the water never ran clear. Rinsed the hoodie at least ten times but it was still giving blue water lol. Maybe I used too much dye. (Btw didn’t wait for 24 hours before rinsing.) 3) When pulling the clothing up and down, be careful so it doesn’t splash. I got blotches because of my splashing geh 4) You won’t regret it!!!! Bought a brand new hoodie just for this and it came out great :)

[@22bears]

hey there! maybe it didn't ran clear bc u skipped the 24 hours leaving the hoodie sit and then rinse? or is it always like that, it'll keep losing color?

[@merlinjuliet8325]

Beautiful video Sarah. Love your videos... It worked so well for me. Thnx

[@essyjae]

+merlin juliet Thank you for your kind words!! So glad to hear it worked for you! You're very welcome!

[@katiewolin7175]

This is gorgeous!!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! 100% trying this out!

[@essyjae]

+Katie Wolin You're very welcome, so glad you like it!!

[@nicoleweinberg0910]

Thank you!!!!! That shirt looks so cool!!!

[@connieherrera1388]

puppy did a good job thank u needed this to clor a dress : )

[@essyjae]

He's a good helper :) You're very welcome!

[@randz9230]

great job! beautiful music! and I love that dog ☺🐶

[@essyjae]

Thank you so much!! He's a good helper! 🐶

[@richamaurya690]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial !!! Is there any alternative for soda ash ?And how long should we dip the cloth in dye?

[@callllllllllico]

is it works for materials such like socks, legging, etc? thank you!

[@essyjae]

+Vinna Audy Yes, it should work for those too! The color/brightness may change a bit depending on the type of fabric, though :)

[@ToughLuckHaze]

Used this idea on a moschino shirt now it's five times cuter ! 🙌🏻

[@madshansen1375]

Really sweat video. Thanks for posting!

[@essyjae]

Aw, thanks so much!!

[@turtleloom1493]

I did this on a plaid shirt and it turned out great!!! Just subscribed. Great tutorial :) ~JuniperGinger

[@essyjae]

Thanks so much, and thank you for subscribing!! Glad to hear it worked for you! An ombre plaid shirt sounds very cool :)

[@kiddadd]

JuniperGinger did the dye cover the plaid, so that you couldn't see the plaid anymore?

[@makanam2940]

this is so cool!!! I think I'll do this one day if I have the time

[@Cvallejo555]

I love the color ,what brand of dye did you use and what is the code or name of that tone of blue? please

[@essyjae]

Thank you! It is Rit dye (powder form) in the color navy :)

[@daniellasangalang6071]

It's awesome! gonna try this later, i hope it works! 👍👍

[@trofiness9537]

You've got such a cute helper 😍

[@essyjae]

Aw, thank you! He’s a good boy! 🐾 😊

[@simplymerry6824]

hello my dear i really loved your video , i was wondering if this only work with that paint for clothes or the normal paint works too ?

[@Tophi]

I hope it works bc I'm using this for a talent show

[@heidileana1838]

wooow that is soooo amazing!! too bad i dont know were to find fabric dye in my country

[@nirmameena8109]

Great, but what type of colour u use???

[@YumiKoyuki]

Hey, great tutorial! I was wondering, how did you let the shirt sit for 24 hours? Did you hang it to dry or lay it flat on a surface? :>

[@essyjae]

+YumiKoyuki Hi! Thank you! I kept it on the hanger and hung it up to dry. This way, the dye will travel towards the darker end of the shirt. Thanks for asking, I should have mentioned that!

[@Itsaricos]

Hi thanks for this great tutorial! I dyed some fabric for a cosplay im doing! just one question, do you know if is possible to iron it afterwards? Im just being super cautious haha

[@essyjae]

Thanks for watching! Ironing it should be fine, if anything the heat should actually help set the dye. The only concern I'd see with ironing it would be if you're using a fabric that doesn't take ironing well, but if it's cotton it'll be just fine. :)

[@user-wn8iv1ve7d]

Wow. This is great 👍🏼

[@takrimaafrinmumu9245]

Its awesome .What will we do in this 24 hours? Soak in the sun?

[@essyjae]

Thank you! It doesn't really matter, just let it sit undisturbed for the 24 hours, and then rinse it out :)

[@mieyi]

thankyou for the tutorial!!

[@victoriasecret979]

Got two brand new white tanks, in that modal fabric, and I am doing this, this weekend!!!!! Hit me with your color ideas!!! I imagine I could dip them in the lighter color first and have a second tank with a darker color for the uppermost portion?

[@donhkzjeronc]

hi! this is a great tutorial video, help me a lot. Btw do you have any tips for using a t-shirt, especially the color won't blend perfectly in arm part because of folds I think. Thanks

[@essyjae]

Hi! Thank you very much! I've been trying to figure out a solution for this. You could try dyeing the other end of the shirt (dye the bottom instead of the top) so there wouldn't be as much dye in the arm area.

[@jalonboyd2435]

How do you get it to be dark blue at the top? and the video was much help.

[@aubreynan]

Jalon Boyd did you even watch the video?

[@quackduck953]

Omg love this video and song 😘

[@jaisurya3785]

Please could you suggest me what to use for colour fixing (colour should not leak and mix with other clothes)

[@oursmalltribe5189]

How long do I swish the shirt up and down each time? Also, does it matter if I have powder dye or liquid dye?

[@kiktoriavotova516]

it's so awesome!!

[@essyjae]

Thank you so much!!

[@michellemsamaniego2198]

Loved that color...

[@edona5288]

Great Tutorial! Btw I am planning on dip dyeing my prom dress a little bit, I was wondering if it works if the fabric is already a dark color so I can brighten it up by the end (dark blue which turns into purple, or just lighter blue) and also what kind of materials does it work on?

[@danielapicado508]

can you use food coloring.

[@samanthacarranza1409]

#the shirt is litterally goals👑👑

[@essyjae]

Thanks so much!! 😊

[@PeacefullPath-8]

If I also want to wrinkle my fabric should I do this before

[@blueyez1912]

Thanks a lot!!! Especially what I needed!

[@shllewis9]

I have a white dress and I would love to have this color

[@obsidiryn]

searching how to do this for personal wicked merch bc i cant find a good green and pink ombre shirt/jacket

[@geraldinecampo3894]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@luzvimindasatairapan9581]

What do you use hot or cold water?? ☺

[@Littlecraftslover]

interesting idea.👍😍

[@sofiaaniceto5807]

Would the same dye and this method work in spandex or Lycra

[@claraevans8899]

Would this work on a sweater or would it ruin it....? Like would it still be soft?

[@lilyarkdams1508]

Can I use this to dye a shirt from the bottom to the top?????

[@essyjae]

Yes, you can! On this particular shirt I just thought it would work better on the top.

[@eugenepark2508]

does it work for hoodies?

[@essyjae]

Yes, it should work for hoodies.

[@CrogBear]

Wow, this is so cool thanks!!

[@essyjae]

+CrogBear Thanks so much!!

[@Deadaccount263]

I decided to make 2D's Pink Bunny Says Shoot To Ill and the ombré so far is great, thank you!!! I really recommend Gorillaz if you don't know who 2D is

[@rarandomland5131]

Oh I really loved the video

[@essyjae]

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@emabersano708]

Hi. What happend when you washed the T-shirt???? Still have the colors??

[@dawnsullivan6233]

What do you do with the excess water just curious

[@taylorglittergloss2437]

I love it! did the shirt look more blue or lilac in real life? its hard to tell!:)

[@essyjae]

Thank you! :) It looks more purple than blue in real life, even though the dye was technically navy blue.

[@taylorglittergloss2437]

Awesome! I just ordered a purple rit dye off of amazon & I wanted to turn my top "lilac" like a light purple... would I only use a little bit of dye to get a light purple colour? :)

[@essyjae]

Yes, I would try using as little dye as possible to get a lighter, lilac color. You can always add more dye and dip it again if it isn't dark enough, and the type of material the shirt is made out of will affect how the color looks. Good luck, that sounds pretty! :)

[@taylorglittergloss2437]

Thank you very much :)!!

[@kamaljeetkaursran5048]

beautiful ❤

[@itsnoraketyatoo7484]

My fav color😯💕❤️

[@yogiarsegintabangun5009]

can u make a toutorial how to coloring t-shirt like camiseta relax i really want to know

[@thedancepulse5577]

Wow how long did this take?

[@jaidensmommy0909]

What brand powder did you use, and how can I do this with two colors?

[@theradpanda8775]

Could I use this method to do two colors ombre on one item?

[@hundrauma5026]

Did you use hot water in dyeing the shirt? Like when you added the dye?

[@essyjae]

Yes, I used hot water when I was dyeing the shirt :)

[@walidbhar888]

It's very cool !!

[@hellerbee4841]

Amazing video. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@essyjae]

Bree Mellark Thank you! :)

[@kidew5913]

Thanks a lot. This is so help.

[@essyjae]

+Rizki Dewi You're very welcome! Glad to hear it is helpful!

[@humbertosilvabezerra9699]

PERFECT 😍❤❤❤

[@brokentoesies6404]

Hello! Just wondering if the shirt shrunk or altered in size after the dye process. Thanks!

[@essyjae]

Hi! Nope, it didn't shrink or alter during the dye process. This shirt was 95% rayon and 5% spandex, but a shirt that is something like 100% cotton may have potential to shrink a bit.

[@brokentoesies6404]

Sarah J (Pugdemonium) Ok! Thanks! :)

[@marvingermar8346]

That color is awesome, is this a dark blue or blue violet or something?

[@essyjae]

The dye was called navy blue, but it came out looking more violet!

[@michellelee9566]

if i do this for 15 shirts, can i wash them all together or should i do them seperately?

[@krillkrillkrillforever]

Did you use black or purple dye? Also, about how long was each dip cycle, or did you just eyeball it? Great video! Thanks a ton!

[@essyjae]

+Robert Ipach Thank you! I used Rit navy blue dye - after it dried, it ended up looking more purple. For the dip cycles, I did just eyeball it. As soon as there was a definite difference in color to the level above, I moved on to the next level. The difference in color between each level will be more subtle when the shirt is dry.

[@donteatcereal5391]

Planning on doing this...🤔

[@bobchild123]

Can it work with color black , grey t-shirt?

[@jamesonthomas9583]

Are these safe to put in the washing machine without losing color?

[@clarewong2258]

How hot is the water?

[@thaliavasquez2152]

Does the material of the shirt matter

[@essyjae]

Yes, the material needs to have a significant percentage of cotton in it - the higher the better (unless you are using a dye made for synthetics and a shirt made of synthetic materials).

[@thaliavasquez2152]

Sarah Johnson - Pugdemonium ok thank u so much😊

[@louis9410]

I really wish I could do this cause I have a tank top but I don't have dye

[@ghostwhisperie]

Okay, how do I do this to black fabric

[@daisy-wv8ic]

nice floor... what material is the floor?

[@essyjae]

It's concrete, this was filmed outside :)
