[@carlasmith2105]

Even though shirt is folded into quarters (not thirds) it's an awesome job! Love it.

I actually followed the instructions in this video to tie dye a shirt. This shirt is a white V neck that has "Sentinel" in purple script vertically down the left front, and a yellow Spartan helmet beneath the vertical script down near the hemline. I wanted to see how well the fish scale pattern would cover that high school logo, making the shirt more wearable. It's difficult to do the accordion folds and banding it in the middle. I broke several rubber bands and ended up tying one rubber band that broke. I did my best. I used 2 colors, black for where the rubber bands were, then brown right next to it, with a white undyed center. After the dye was applied, I lightly folded the plastic I used to protect my bathtub over the shirt, leaving it to cure for 9 1/2 hours. I took the middle rubber bands out first, then worked my way outward to remove the bands on the ends last. While I failed to get the fish scale effect, I was happy with the effect I got. I could sort of see the shape of the scales, but more amorphous. A casual observer would never get fish scales out of the pattern I achieved, but there is a pattern of blobs. Indigo blue was pulled out of the black. So, I did end up with 3 colors after all. What would have been the center of the scales was white, as I intended. It was just a smaller center due to the indigo manifesting and taking up some of that undyed center space. Interestingly, the brown color stayed true. In other words, I ended up with a lighter black, true brown, indigo, and white pattern. I don't know how the indigo blue didn't affect the brown color, but it didn't. There is more white as the eye moves from the hemline (which has the most dense patterning) up to the neck and shoulder seams (less dense patterning). The shirt is rinsed, and, although it's 3:30 in the morning, 40F degees, I hung it outside to drip. Thanks for a fun project idea, ColorfulSteve. I look forward to trying it again, learning from this experience

[@1citybuilder]

Best tie-dye shirt on KZbin! Thanks

[@Design]

Some advice for you, for your future videos, don't get in front of your lighting, as in parts of this video portions of the shirt are so dark for one to see, also try making your video a bit brighter. It's a little on the dark side.

[@darwinr5834]

this is a tutorial.....not a damn service to the public..

[@Design]

A tutorial IS a service to the public. FYI.

[@ndeaberry2559]

Darguin Ruiz LOL! Thanks for your "public service" I really enjoyed it

[@charlietweedale579]

That shirt is on the dark side of the force

[@pjesrera9953]

nice design

[@RyanFrizey]

folding in half, then in half again would make quarters, not thirds.

[@KatelynMcClure]

exactly. maybe he meant 3 times?

[@ravensmith12]

+Al Funcoot okay but if you fold something in two you are going to double the sections. He folded in half then half again. If he had folded the sides and they did not meet the other he would've gotten 3rds

[@fredz46]

I'm

[@Tydie.]

It is code. Lettuce sea.

[@MuSicAnIMeOTaKU]

Thanks, I'm doing this design for my chem class! Your folding was unclear but I got it in the end! I can't wait to see how mine turns out :)

[@heycorduroyboy]

That looks fucking insane in the membrane.. ahaha

[@น้องเชฟลูกป๋าชงโกวหมี]

Hello, It has many beautiful colors and patterns.

[@azusa004]

What's ur problem

[@jamiewatty9521]

😂

[@kamikaze8725]

you def need a different camera angle dude,,, we cant see the first half of the video lol...

[@johnloreaux1024]

why would you need to? it's obvious what he's doing.

[@MrsBSP]

John Loreaux

[@rowanbun3162]

That is sick, I am so making one lol

[@jeremyshaferorigami]

0:13... How is that thirds??? You folded it in half and then in half again.

[@samclaydon-smith6598]

I was thinking exactly that!!

[@CallumCantrill]

Jeremy! I love your origami, but agreed. That is definitely quarters!

[@abacus912]

agree, if he placed the scales strategically (on the chest area) you could call the design bikini style

[@michellekindred3007]

Yeah how is that thirds?you folded it 4 times

[@neseyildiz2809]

He meant thirds cuz he folded it three times....

[@erins.5420]

Thank you now I get to test out how to do this on bedsheets.

[@jhunguiller]

Hi, your tutorials were really good and this fish scales design was the best for me. But would you mind to make a tutorial on how to make the shirt that you're wearing in this video? I hope you'll see this and response...or even not just make the tutorial. Thank you and hope you'll make more tutorials about dyeing shirts or any stuffs. 😉👊

[@afterlifexzero1724]

Neat! I’ll be sure to wear this when I go surfing

[@claibornes]

difficult to see the rubber band step because of shadows. had to watch several times

[@th3thiiird3y3]

i appreciate the intent but this video is a bit difficult to follow. it's somewhat shadowy especially being that we're opposite of your starting point.

[@magdagonzalez7881]

I totally agree

[@caseyatkins5942]

Trey Allen if it's hard to follow then you don't have to watch

[@th3thiiird3y3]

Right. Because one would be able to foresee how unclear the video instructs before even clicking the play button.

[@ladylestranj]

Why so hostile sheep?

[@Orangeforever66778]

+ladylestranj need to be .

[@TA-cs5oo]

your lighting was from behind you, you need lighting from behind the camera so your shadow doesnt block what youre doing, i couldnt really tell

[@spoonerpurple]

WOW so so so beautiful !!!

[@kyoya5555]

If you made more little triangles in the beginning would it make smaller scales?

[@killabarbie4209]

I bet it would. I may try folding in half once more, which would make eighths, then tying. Good idea :)

[@killabarbie4209]

May not look as good if the fabric is thick, though. Because it's hard to accordion fold 16 layers of fabric that are like 3 inches wide.

[@erinriendeau6502]

Honestly ppl need to correct everything! Holy hell relax and dye! Wicked job mon! I'm trying tonight thanks for the tipz

[@tvang241]

If you wanted more scales would you make the lines closer or fold the shirt more?

[@cherokeerose8873]

love this. it reminds me of a mermaid tattoo I plan on getting soon.

[@FireLeaf281]

That would be awesome as a pineapple shirt 🍍

Half then half again is really in quarters BUT that's OK it still works.

[@wendyestrada109]

DrHillbillyShow

[@glamourgremlin189]

can you do a tutorial for the shirt you are wearing in this video!? its awesome :)

[@brianna3523]

I love this!! I'm definitely trying it this summer!! :D

[@Kra88yPa77y]

I'm gonna use it for the first day of school

[@myradurrant9943]

[@sleppykitty207]

I would aabsolutely do this project! in my own preferd colour choices of course. the purple and blue are nice, though I wouldnt have put green as the final colour.

[@madisongilchrist7508]

What colors would you choose?

[@AmyMorosini]

Do you let the shirt sit out in the open air for 6-8 hours or do you enclose it in a plastic bag?

[@Jynxxy13ravedoll]

Ok so on a scale of 1-10 how stoned were you when you shot this

[@kaitlynnnicole5202]

That's pretty cool!

[@juliedimitro5051]

Comments: 47% folding in half twice equals fourths 50% bad lighting 3% other

[@killabarbie4209]

3% dope ass shirt! Lol gotta give due credit!

[@chonnymckinney-moss4697]

you suppose to whap it with cling - wrap or plastic bags for a day or so before take the rubber bans off.

[@mhen789]

Is there a way to make smaller scales?

[@MLEbug]

Hi there, I just want to clear up for anyone who might be confused: Steve folds the shirt into quarters, not thirds. I'm sure it was a slip but I thought this might be helpful for someone. Have a good day, guys!

[@ItsMichaelaFTW]

Thanks for the videos! I wanted to do a different tie due pattern than everyone else in my junior chemistry class and I found my design!

[@ZarahZuVlogs]

cool! i have a dress I'm gonna try this on!

[@TheLovejoy101]

[@msrainbowtaster]

[@ivorymendoza3484]

[@nelsonvalencia3167]

hi may i know what brand of dye powder of what kind of dye you use. the one i use looks faded thankyou

[@ScutrBich]

Check out Dharma trading company for your dyes, they have really good dyes. they also have good fixative to set your dye with as well I get my soda ash and everything from them

[@Dani3282011]

Thank you for the great tutorial! It's very unusual, and interesting! If you don't mind, we're going to use this for a school project, and try to make it as original as possible! We'll try to give it our own unique touch, just like you gave it yours.

[@kairadow2919]

I'm in shock at how so many ppl don't understand exactly what you did. Couldn't have done a better job at showing this awesome technique. Thank you!!!

[@lifeishood]

lol i just did it now i have to wait wait wait wait until its done!

[@baxterbalfrey5339]

bro show the one you did please

[@wavyleo95]

That's really awesome but did you mean to say 1/4?

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Awesome tutorial, but folding in half, then half again gives you 4ths, not 3rds.

[@jamesfish1111]

Sam Chaney for fucks sake get off his back fukn haters there everywhere omg

[@caseyfugate1007]

Nice job!!

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

"So the first thing that you want to do is pull it into thirds....." Proceeds to fold the shirt into fourths. 🤔

[@TheLivvieLove]

Thats awesome!! would look cool to use pineapple colors 😁

[@psychedelicfoxes]

Informative! But you did fold jn fourths not thirds. :)

[@ryanstafford9717]

Fantastic. I love it. I will do this one next :)

[@AnimalsGirlful]

It's 1:40 in the morning. How did I get here?

[@chelseaemerson2699]

Could you do a tutorial on the type of shirt you were wearing in this vid?

[@colorfulsteve]

some people wrap them in plastic bags but i do not and have had no problems

[@emmaheagy216]

If you're here because of the thumbnail and just wanted to see the end result its at 7:49 You're welcome.

[@gaylecoston125]

Thank you for sharing. It's be a little more helpful if the viewer could see what you're doing. There are way too many shadows and I cannot tell what you're doing.

[@jricchio1017]

I like your video and your KANDI!! PLUR!!

[@ladysaydees420]

Let's math for a moment. Fold something in half. You have 2 halves. Fold THAT Halved object in half again and you now have 2 halves of 2 halves which now equals 4 parts. You QUARTERED it. Not thirds Broski. Thirds Would have been making two folds at the parting to create folds in 3 equal sections

[@an_what]

When you’re scrunching them up or folding them up you really should have a better camera angle of your hands because you can’t see shit my friend get some fucking light🤣😂🤣Here’s how to make a tie-dyed shirt and my shadow

[@keifload]

I dont see how your folding or banding them. Very poor instructions

[@anitraduke3616]

Great job, but you could use a different light source. When you would be working on the folding you couldn't see because your shadow is overpowering everything. Thanks for the video.

[@marlenebalves]

Congratulations! Enlightening video and beautiful work!

[@kylemessicktiedyecollector5690]

What bottles do you have ??

[@sidj6957]

This gave me ASMR

[@angelaherrin6612]

I dont get why everyone is criticizing him he folded three times. I don't care if he said thirds he did a good job. I'm sure if you were making a video you might mess up wording also. It happens so grow up and get a life instead of making fun of his and something he is proud of.

[@lbenetz2157]

What should we do if we don't have the bottles and we looked for them and we couldn't find any and what should we do when your camping and all they have are buckets?????????????

[@sassysouthernbelle8693]

[@JentasticVintage26]

A lot of whiners and complainers in the comments on this video. I understood perfectly fine and I am so trying this. Thanks for the video.

[@artcruzzader6120]

but i hate doing my laundry i'm saying this cuz u have to fold it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@nafisazahrathuraiyaa5932]

Cool... @colorfulsteve do you have instagram?

[@genevievefortruth]

nice job. I think I will try it. I am going to make the purple a little wider and hope I don't screw it up.

[@rabidiceweasel]

Jesus h I can barely manage a simple spiral. No hate, just awe.

[@wannabe181]

There's an echo in here lol come on people stop repeating each other. I just want to know what you presoak in and what dyes do you use. I was gonna try Easter egg dye?

[@eduardogudino8127]

trevor k you always have something to say like carnavalito and no he did not messed up Mexican songs if you know every artist then post it cause I know more than you of latino artistas

[@ladylestranj]

Why all the hostility towards the people mentioning that it is too hard to see what is being done in the video? Shadows and hands in the way coupled with low sound has made it difficult to see, why get angry about saying this truth?

[@colorfulsteve]

im not sure why dont you give it a try!

[@jocelynvalencia4588]

I see a lot of PUMPKINS!

[@JessaLikesMascara]

That is so cool :0
