Hi everyone. Thank you so much for being so supportive of this video and taking the time to watch and share and like. It means so much to me. For anyone who is trying to recreate this tapestry I have recently uploaded a clearer version just with different colors that shows the folding more in depth and clearer that you can find here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXXSdntqqNx6fq8 . Thanks again. Bless you all and have a great day😊

thank you! i appreciate you showing the process in real time, from which i now understand the type of force required and the amount and process of liquid dispersal. i wondered about saturation - good to see it being turned. the end result was gorgeous!

This was my first large tie dye. I didn't have a grid rack and made some mistakes. This morning I did a light bleach to give that pop of white. Just want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. I bought white sheet set and we have dogs. They wouldn't have stayed white. Was going to plain dye them. Instead today washed out excess dye and they are brilliant. Just thank you so!!!

way to go Riah!! i want to tell you and your subscribers about trying on white kitchen towels. i get Aunty Ems from Amazon. 27 by 27 inches with a loop for hanging. these are the best ones .they are about $1.40 each. you cant loose because no matter if you mess up you have a great thirsty kitchen towel. if they turn out great they are big enough to drape over a small table. i make them for family all the time. thanks for a wonderful tutorial.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Gorgeous! I’m going to share some thing that I just learned about but I haven’t tried yet for myself. It may help you or somebody else. I saw on a KZbin hair tutorial where the person removed a hair elastic from their hair by touching a Q-tip to a little lemon oil. The thin elastic just broke immediately! I’ve ordered some lemon oil from Amazon but it hasn’t arrived yet so, like I said, I haven’t tried it for myself yet. If the shirt and dye were already dried, it seems like the little touch of lemon oil wouldn’t damage the design. I was interested in this tip for my hair because I put elastics in it and get tired of pulling out pieces of hair along with the elastic.

[@RiahsTieDye]

This is very interesting and a great tip! Something I’m definitely going to look in to and have to try out. Thank you for sharing my friend!💜🤍

[@tonimayo6239]

Okay so how long does the dye need to sit before you wash it, and can you add heat to help the fabric absorb the dye better? Also when you wash it do you use any type of soap or is it just cold water? Sorry new to the whole time dye stuff trying to figure out the best techniques and proper tools and steps to do them! Thank you! This turned out beautiful most definitely going to be my first ever tie dye project!

[@RiahsTieDye]

That’s so awesome and it’s no trouble at all. So the dye sits for 24 hours then you rinse in cold water and gradually increase to warm/hot to remove the excess dye. I wouldn’t recommend the heat because you want the dye to have time to bond with the fabric so it doesn’t just wash out or fade. Then when you wash your wash on the hot water cycle for the time with Synthrapol which is a textile detergent that helps keep the colors bright and I always let my projects hang dry after the first wash. After that wash and dry like normal. I hope this helps😊💖

[@RiahsTieDye]

So the soaking, spinning, and tying when damp are all 100% correct. Soda ash is a dye fixative so it helps create the the chemical bond that allows the dye to bond with the fabric. Without it the dye would simply wash out of the material when you wash it. Majority of it anyways. And Synthrapol is a textile laundry detergent. Synthrapol helps to hold the dye color in the fabric so it doesn’t fade. I hope Ivanswered your question 😊💜💖

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

I wanted a couple mandala tapestries but could not find the colors I wanted and they are so pricey. Then I thought.. Hmmm, I can make my own, there must be YT videos and landed here with my search. So simple to follow. What does that soda ash do in your list? How long do you let the die soak on your tapestry? How would your recommend washing it after dying. Beautiful outcome and thank you for sharing.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hi and I’m so glad I could help. The soda ash helps to let the dye set and not rinse out when you wash it. I always recommend 12 to 24 hours to let the dye set, for a tapestry I always do 24 because of the amount of material. And for washing I use a textile detergent called Synthrapol that keeps the colors from bleeding and fading. I have a link in the description box of all my videos if you would like to learn more about this specific detergent. I hope this helps😊

Hey lady I just tried this very tie and even mixed the chartreuse best I could. My black was a lil sloppy 🙏🏽 and I splashed a lil purple on my white area 😩 After 2 days when I open it could I bleach those areas? Like maybe trying 50/50? I L♥️VE YOUR TUTORIALS

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hi Rhonnie! Thank you and I would definitely try to bleach those areas with a 50/50 mixture as you suggested. To be safe I would use a paint brush to apply it so you can be more precise and also don’t forget to neutralize after no more than 20 minutes with the hydrogen peroxide bath. 9 cups water to 1 cup hydrogen peroxide. Double or triple if need to depending on if you did Tapestry or not. I hope this helps my friend!😊💜

Looks amazing 💙💜💚🧡 But i bought flat bed sheet what size would you recommend twin queen or king ?? Thank you

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you! Any size would do. You just have to adjust the lines drawn according to the size you pick. Basically, don’t put anything to close together because you’ll have a really hard time folding and tying it. And don’t put everything to far apart or you’ll lose some of the design. So any size would do but a queen would probably be the safest way to go 😃 I hope this helps!

I'm curious if you pre do your slip knot y not pre set it on the tapestry so it's a short slide one hand away?

[@MsLegaC]

so you don't have to wash it? It's so gorgeous!

[@RiahsTieDye]

[@vaughangarrick]

A question. I've watched a few in a row now...do you fold the cloth always in the same way...because the zig zags drawn here produce a different effect to the snowflake mandala zip zags

[@RiahsTieDye]

For this one and the snowflake yes. They are what’s called 8 point mandalas so the fold is the exact same. It’s all in the marker lines drawn on and sinew lines that create the separate designs. I hope this helps😊💖

[@dropdeadDeb]

Love it, will be doing one for sure.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Awesome! I would love to see it when you finish if you feel like sharing😊

[@gloriagiefer3013]

Can rubber bands be used in place of the sinew

[@RiahsTieDye]

I would say no because the rubber band won’t be tight enough to create the white lines.
