How to Tie Dye Peace Sign

[@SmackThatBunny]

i personally like it because it's unique. and no two are the same,

[@colorfulsteve]

yes you do. soda ash is what make the dye absorb into the fabric. without the soda ash the dye will not absorb correctly and the shirt will be almost all white

[@pwrinklejohnson9782]

"I've never seen a bad tie dye" great saying. I remember some of the first ones I ever did...hot messes they were!

[@colorfulsteve]

@StrawberryLynx your supposed to use 1 cup of soda ash per 5 gallons of water. then i keep using the same bucket of water until it runs out

[@mandymckk]

I like your hat

[@midismith5370]

I'm loving your videos but this one the shirt needs to be brought up in the beginning of the tutorial so that we can see the first few folds

[@Sustaita.handmade]

@LuvDanii No you don't HAVE to, it optional But some dyes/powders already have soda ash mixed in so just follow the instructions that are given with your box/pack etc.!

[@marissabonilla8744]

H. My field day is coming up, and for our shirts we are doing tie dye. Our color is green and I wanted to know, if you could use just that one color..?

[@colorfulsteve]

i dont think it matters as long as you know what your doing. i dye the black lines first so that way i know where the inside of the peace sign is and where the outside is

[@TheMarshmallow121]

Colorfulsteve, do you think it is better to tie dye the black lines first, and then the rest???

[@colorfulsteve]

you can use any marker or highlighter just make sure its washable if its not washable it wont come out when you rinse it

[@1234highX]

Again nice hat

[@Kimmers007]

How did you determine 1:45 in the microwave? I'm having my first tye dye party next week and would like my guess be able to take their shirts with them microwaved, rinsed and washed. So if I microwave I don't have to wait 6 to 8 hours, right? Thanks

[@AliciaTalkss]

love your channel!!

Hey would you be able to do a similar effect to a south african flag?

[@colorfulsteve]

@sk8negretrip after you let it sit for 6-8 hours i rinse them in the washing machine with warm water

[@Mofu-Kitty]

can I send you kandi, your stuff is amazing and it is actually understandable unlike some other videos ^_^

[@kayrx3]

The marker you are using, is it Crayola and washable? Can we use any marker to draw on the shirt?

[@ariefirvandi]

when u using the soda ash after the dying or before the dying??

[@shanazirose]

When you take the rubber bands of is the shirt supposed to be completely dry?

[@NicolasDawm13]

I can use any markers to paint the peace sing ?

[@bellaburke7250]

why dont you cut the rubber bands? is there a reason? does it help? just wondering because i'm becoming addicted to tye dying

[@john-lukemerrill6764]

mine turned out well thanx

[@LuvDanii]

do you HAVE to use soda ash before dying it? what does it do to it and what happens if i dont use it?

[@hellyherbivore9911]

that's badass.

[@MoralisticAthiest]

Eh :) My father had a great saying "Iv never seen a bad tie dye"

[@rokstareater]

sick videos dude, i like your candy too :)

[@camillea23]

thank you sooooo much !

[@christaloca4921]

pretty cool.i like it

[@KingsDominionGeek]

What blue is that you're using?

[@KingsDominionGeek]

It speeds up the "batching" process - otherwise you'd have to wait the 6-8 hours for the soda ash and the dye to react.

[@Tihgnob420]

depends on the material of the clothing you use

[@natka876]

Thank you so much :*

[@raina845]

were do you get your dye/ink

[@shovalgafni825]

Is the peace sign is on both sides of the shirt in the end?

[@jaked4398]

Shoval Gafni Yes if you dye both sides

[@sweetamy189]

do you have to use soda ash?

[@StrawberryLynx]

How much soda ash do you use for 1 shirt ?

[@colorfulsteve]

i use a normal food microwave. but you shouldnt use a microwave you use for food becasue of cross contamination. it should be only for tie dye

[@ghostsinweirdplaces]

If u r going to use one color maybe out line the leave sign in black or Try different shades of green @marissabonilla

[@gabrielamnesia2739]

This is style

[@colorfulsteve]

i dont cut the rubber bands so i can reuse them

[@BlueBirdie96]

sick!

[@bobbypowell9080]

where can you get a microwave for tie dye, can you use a food microwave

[@robertlarrysoren4025]

I just started using my microwave, I keep a cup of water in it just to be safe, be sure all the fabric is damp so no fires, and all my stuff is brighter it appears to me. I've been cooking dyes, 5 to 7 minutes, let sit 10to15 minutes and rinse, so far? So good dye, cook, rinse. I see no harm except my microwave is blue inside.

[@CrispyGuy]

Bandit up! 8D

[@colorfulsteve]

i use procion mx dyes

[@RoamingNerd]

Do you have to dye it while it's still wet from the soda ash or can you do it after its dried?

[@janabehnken1538]

Michelle Savin wet is ok

[@whazzsupwithu]

it needs to be wet!!

[@Bettina2690]

I would dare to make this, but I suck at making half circles... Go figure...

[@colorfulsteve]

yeah i know. no tie dye is perfect though. this is probably the worst peace sign i have ever made but whatever.

[@Tihgnob420]

washable markers if possible

[@colorfulsteve]

before

[@jackiea2296]

do you wet shirt before or no?@colorfulsteve

[@unknownqoz]

He presoaks it in soda ash

[@jackiea2296]

thank you

[@jefferynoggle9154]

J

[@colorfulsteve]

no they have to be washable. other wise it wont come out

[@misbhavd]

No you don't have to use soda ash I don't use it and my stuff turns out fine

[@twoeypronto2457]

The peace sign is upside down

[@unknownqoz]

No it's not

[@twoeypronto2457]

Oh well

[@colorfulsteve]

turquoise

[@ashleypearson6886]

The video is good except you need to talk louder and shirt needs to be moved up more so you can see the bottom!

[@colorfulsteve]

yes or the dye wont absorb correctly

[@Kimmers007]

Otherwise if I don't microwave they will be taking their shirts home in a plastic bag and they will have to rinse and wash later at home.

[@8catangel]

Awesome

[@avanovotny754]

No offense but iI cant see what youre doing so make it better so I can see you

[@callumbooker7433]

i think he used pee pee for the yellow it looks sketchy to me ;D

[@luvmia97blogspot]
