Brother, you are such an excellent teacher! How lovely that you would share, first off, and secondly, masterfully done! Thank you!

[@fumbelina1]

Love it! This is the first time I have come across a tie dye project that is thoroughly described by someone who is actually well experienced in what he is talking about. I am a dyer and I salute you for a great tutorial and the generosity to share it. Live long and prosper ;-)

[@MassaCreatures1031]

[@twilit]

You’re not only amazing at tie dye you are an excellent teacher. Xplaining clearly and concisely what’s important and why. Thanks for sharing your skill. 🤙

[@makinggreatbread]

"won't create a permanent death." Good to know. Permanent death can be a bummer, but those temp deaths are the bomb.

[@janinelarkin7891]

HAHAHAH! soon as he said it i laughed and went to the comments

[@snoutysnouterson]

@@janinelarkin7891 me too 😂

[@boozurselfup]

this is some crazy method. thank you so much for sharing it. i know you've gone through so many tries and fails to come to this. thank you so much:))

[@JudgementalJosh]

"A permanent death", oh whew I was worried I might have gotten a temporary one lmao

[@ashleynicole3756]

Joshua Nicholas Lol i thought the same thing. As opposed to a temporary one??😁

[@TheKillerPupa]

listen it happens to us tie dye folks from time to time

[@Gracievision]

That permanent death is the worst sort.

[@RTFink]

This is what I came for..hehe

[@Ajkillam528]

I have searched endlessly to find you again an now I've found this. Ty ty ty

[@cypherknot]

Of all the tie dye patterns, this is the one I find the most exciting.

[@codyreed513]

Found you on ATTD. Man You are on a level which I am not. I don't know but one other person in my town that tie dyes and they are still a baby too. This video helped my technique significantly seeing the surface you work on, and the way you shaped it to keep it flat. Subcribe!

[@CrispyGuy]

Much thanks fellow duden. I didn't know Addicted to Tie Dye was still going on, FB group or website? Glad this wound up there regardless. And yeah, if you can help it-- always glass.

[@codyreed513]

The FB group is going strong brother. you are in the files under snow and ice dying.So many greeat artists on there but few show as much techniques in their tuts, usually just generalizations. Which I understand. Its hard to give away what youve had to put so much into. but I sure appreciate it. We are working on buying a slab or finding a window abandoned somewhere. haha

[@nickd.5645]

The greatest tie dye explanations and tips i have seen!! Thank you so much!!

[@Ajkillam528]

You were the first person a few years ago I watched, you are the BEST teacher..you soothing, no music, I love watching you. Wish we could of seen end result. I bought lots of stuff a few years ago to try this..because of you. I also like seeing designs of reverse dye.. Do you do reverse dye teaching?

[@sarahglover3650]

Going off your voice, you could totally be Jesse Eisenberg under that sick tie dye

[@CrispyGuy]

I've been found out! o.O

[@bunningtonhevy]

[@alev9572]

Such a great, thorough teacher thank you for this thoughtful video!

[@whitneypaige615]

Your voice is like heaven.

[@kaydee3195]

Question; and your video is great by the way- it is not a just add water type of tutotorial and I respect that, but what about flimsy fabrics such as for bathing suits? They can be given evenness to both sides, though I am guessing it's tricky to do so with less to work with ( say for a two piece.) And pointers for enthusiastic beginners ? I had a thought that carcinogenic does or does not account heavily for the kid- sized kits, but that's also a second question ..Thanks if you can answer them. Don't want to be reckless with a first attempt..Hope that it's no trouble to ask this in the comments below!

[@mietteireland-johnston291]

I love your voice so much and your vocabulary. :)

[@gutebrandao4369]

Great tutorial,can you make one with the shirt you are wearing?

[@filippoarlenghi6247]

You are a perfectionist... I love the results...I love the process...love it!

[@tifflovin5346]

Very Very COOL my friend thank you for your videos. You are surely a talented artist!

[@Voxy_Lady]

Where does one get the products you are using in the jars? I would love to know names or where to get it. The colors are so good!! 💜 really cool work 😎

[@d.ave.g5456]

Thank You for All Your Information...much respect coming from this direction

Hi. May i ask why we need to use soda ash? Am newbie in tie dye. Thanks a bunch for this wonderful tutorial

[@colleentonn3559]

Great videos, very clear instructions. Thank you for SHARING your talent!! and your ART!! This is how more people can enjoy the process and discover that they too, are artists :)

[@amazingshortvideopriajain8862]

Hola 👋 genial genial, oye como consigo la pintura 🎨 cual es su nombre, gracias 👌 gran trabajo buena vibra

[@omaelnour7407]

very nice I like that.. thanks Appreciate if you kindly advice the name and specs of these colours and thanks once again

[@cobra1351]

Awesome tutorial. What would be the difference in the final product if you put the powdered dye on first and the ice over it?

[@CrispyGuy]

The dye would still spread from the ice, but not as much-- so it will be stronger colours with less of a gradient.

[@blancatorres1047]

I would've loved to see the finished product

[@nokomisfairbanks2153]

Your voice reminds me of Reed from Criminal Minds.... lol.

[@shannonobrien2572]

Nokomis F. - OMG, yes he does sound like Reed.

[@keihanadahlen2246]

@crispy how important is the synthrapol or dyers soap? and Im assuming with cold water? Thanks again this video is absolutely great

[@mlle.brezil227]

Awesome work!

[@wynterpanther728]

youre tutorials are fantastic!!!

[@aaliamohiuddin1306]

I’m so curious, could one achieve a similar effect with bleach? Think I’ll try and find out👍 Thanks for your time🖖

[@LFox-yz7dm]

Did you try with bleach? Did it work?

[@kylemessicktiedyecollector5690]

What is the name for the Black, Blue, and Grey colors of Jars??

[@itscousins]

Dyer soap? How do you spell it, where can I buy it and does it do something better than regular detergent cold washing machine? Thanks for the Awesome video series...VERY NICE TECHNIQUE.

[@CrispyGuy]

itscousins The proper name is Synthrapol. You can usually get it where you can buy dyes or quilting supplies, or at very many places online.

[@dalani61]

Great video, thank you for sharing your talent! Im excited to try this out!

[@kylemessicktiedyecollector5690]

Excuse me, what are the type of your names for your Dye powders from this video a long time. And what are the names??.

[@VeraReginaScheleck]

Fantastic, very beautiful!!! "CONGRATULATIONS"

[@samanthapaulinehardin7640]

Nice I love your patterns I'm start one I just made 5 dyi tie dye shirts of my own from watching yours I never use to use black til today I use a bucket method lol a mop buckets works great with em

[@damentesch]

Oooo mop bucket with the squeezer..good tip!

[@rendermatt]

Definitely not possible to use liquid dye for this? Looks really good.

[@jizpillow]

such a great lesson, pro at work. thanks man

[@4MemoriesNotLikes]

Brilliant!

[@jasminw.7024]

This was the perfect tutorial, thanks!

[@katherinevanderleest5526]

Now I know what to do with the shirts my daughter permanently stains. Excellent!!! Are the tie dye kits from craft stores garbage? What brands do you recommend? I might have my daughter make one for her teacher with her favorite colors as a Last Day Of Kindergarten present.

[@CrispyGuy]

I'd definitely avoid the craft store kits. Most dyers in North America (including myself) use Dharma Trading Co online, but there's a few other good out there too if you just search for a dye wholesaler. Merry colorful adventures~*

[@jantines6840]

I love your tutorial! You explain everything so clear and understandable, i really want to try this :) when you wanted to paint the second side of the shirt, you added soda ash. Do you have to do that too on the first side? And the dye you use, is it the fiber reactive dye? I have jars of fiber reactive dye powder, and when i create a solution for my tie dying, i add salt to the solution. Is salt also needed in this process?

[@jrwest86]

The shirt is initially soaked in ash because it helps the dye adhere and retain brightness. By melting the ice on the bottom side it kind of activates the ash. The second coat is to make sure the dye takes just as well.

[@anonymousanonymous4522]

I agree your voice is very calming. I'm high and I could listen to you talk for hours. Super relaxing. Also what's that white powder called again? Soda hash?

[@CrispyGuy]

Hahaha, if only. It's called sodium carbonate, or soda ash.

[@leonardoherrera4573]

Hermano qué clase o marca de pigmentos utilizás ? Gracias

[@donnapaull4877]

Love you videos,what kind of rack are you using? I'm new at this and have been using kitchen cooling rack and they're small.

[@CrispyGuy]

It's a laundry-drying rack folded up

[@winnifredtorrence8418]

Thank you so much for sharing. My ice dye is marinating this very moment. Why do you turn the shirt inside out?

[@Terry-Adams]

cool tutorial. great style. thanks for making it!

[@FreeWillieification]

Hey Crispy, im new and interested in learning about ice dyeing and all and i was wondering where you got all of your powders and how much they cost? Cuz wherever i go, i always find small boxes versus the giant ones you have

[@CrispyGuy]

+Brandon Burns Dharma Trading Co. my friend.

[@tripymiggy]

Awesome shirt. Beautiful

[@irax7343]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Could you please let me know what is the white powder you used before dying the back side? Thank you!

[@CrispyGuy]

Sure thing, it's soda ash.

[@hillaryleverone3441]

Super cool method. doing this tomorrow!!! Will doing it in the sun so the ice melts faster be bad

[@madelinewallen1578]

Thank you. Love your videos!

[@dealshair]

Omg you are awesome. Thankz for sharin'!!! Gonna try this :D

[@pirana7731]

Very nice! But how to make a yellow shirt, the shirt in he dressed in video. which colors to use?

[@CrispyGuy]

Nevena Lazarevic Side 1: Black, Gray, Brown ..... Side 2: Yellow, Peach, light dustings of Green

[@tylerpowellpossum]

Nothing for nothing but you don't breath in through the valves on the mask. They open for the exhale, close when you inhale.

[@jomega2085]

Tyler Powell what?

[@Musicpriestess]

Beautiful art, man! Would RIT be ok to use?

[@jilmouroas3596]

Hi Crispy. Can you share more of this technic in Tie Dye'ing :) Please thanks I love psychedelic. You're so Great and Creative man 👌🏼🙏🏻

[@candieland4276]

Why is ice used, as opposed to just sprinkling some water onto the shirt?

[@mattbehling8173]

Hey man so if I took the powdered dye and soda ash mixture from a tulip kit and used that instead of the one you used, all it would do would be make it less vibrant?

[@artie1966tattoo]

Where do you recommend I get the powdered dye??

[@gabrielletamantini749]

I didn't do the same design but I am currently egarly awaiting for my ice to melt!

[@JacubanGecko]

What would you say is a minimum number of dyes to get a good effect? Maybe as a number of darker dyes (could you just get away with black/grey?) and of brighter dyes

[@lennylulu3447]

Do u have a link where we can buy the dye in bulk please.😁

[@irax7343]

Thank you! And could you please confirm that you were using Procion Powder from Dharma Trading? (It was mentioned in the posts below.) Would you recommend doing ice TD with liquid dye? Many thanks again, You have a great way of explaining TD process, please post more on this subject!

[@CrispyGuy]

Confirmed on the dyes. And I wouldn't put liquid dye over ice-- too much water. You can do ice on one side and liquid on the other though.

[@TheOriginalKidCoyote]

Interesting technique, thanks for sharing

[@len2489]

Do you have a online store where I could purchase a shirt? If so, I would love to get one. :)

[@Diana-111]

More videos please ?

[@leonardoherrera4573]

Hermano excelente !!! Pero por favor agrega la traducción por favor gracias!!

[@CrispyGuy]

De nada amigo 😊

[@dr_hannibal_-drh534]

You probably wont see this but I want the shirt you're wearing in this video

[@seekexploredestroy3273]

What was the white powder he put on it when he flipped it before he put the dye on

[@sylviabailey5307]

Awesome. What kind of dye are you using?

[@CrispyGuy]

Procion dyes from Dharma Trading Co.

[@sylviabailey5307]

I made one of these shirts...wish I could send you a photo!

[@melaniecovington4567]

Can you use normal liquid die instead of the powder for this pattern?

[@jessicaventiere801]

can you do this method alongside a regular method, perhaps to make a background for the pattern i'm making?

[@manicmermaid513]

Would crushed ice be better or does it have to be the bigger ice for the type of pattern?

[@CrispyGuy]

Both work well. Bigger the ice, bigger the "bubbles" of colour, but any ice at all will give a beautiful texture and gradient.

[@keanjrgensen5641]

Sorry I couldn't hear what you were putting on after the ice was melted?

[@terrygraham3609]

So beautiful love your shirt that one you got onis cool

[@katarzynaszczotka8165]

What do you use in 5:40 min? This is a salt? What to do to dye was stable and not faded? Great t-shirt, very inspiring

[@CrispyGuy]

That's Soda Ash I'm sprinkling on it. The shirt was also soaked in a Soda Ash solution before the video began. This, along with thin ice cubes, will help the colours come out brighter.

[@katarzynaszczotka8165]

Crispy Does soda ash prolongs the lifetime of the dye?

[@CrispyGuy]

Katarzyna Szczotka Not exactly. Soda ash acts as a fixative that chemically bonds the dye to the fabric. It's necessary when using procion dyes, or most will just come out in the wash.

[@corinnaosmann-deane1853]

What kind of paint(powder) do you use? Can this be done with Dylon dye ( from Europe) as well? Or Procion dye which is rather expensive ?

[@lovechas7661]

Black, Navy, Grey, Maroon, Red Violet Blue Violet, Peach, Lavender, Fuchsia, DragonFruit And Hot Pink Are Beautiful Colors.

[@savannah9271]

Do you mind telling me where I can find/what dye is good but also cheep enough? Or even what you soak your shirts in? Or something to keep the color bright? I make tie dye shirts all the time but they always loose there color ;(

[@CrispyGuy]

+savannah 937 If they lose their colour, then you're probably not using Soda Ash, which is essential. Also, don't use dye kits from places like Walmart. A great place is Dharma Trading Company, and if you use their search bar you can find complete tie dye kits with everything you'll need.

[@savannah9271]

Crispy Thanks!!! that helps out a lot and no i dot use soda ash just because i have never used it and really didn't know it existed... I'm late to the parade

[@gordo7519]

What would happen if you used the folding technique, and used dark on back and light on front, but used liquid and no ice?

[@breezygomez6880]

If you look at this shirt really good,,you legit see faces all over it , I screen shot it to show my hubby and it's awesome🧐🧐🧐

[@lincolnlilley6669]

We need a new crispy tutorial

[@ladytiedi]

Question: was your shirt pre-soaked in soda ash and then dried? I realize you added more soda ash on the back side...your shirt just looked so nice and dry and crisp....

[@CrispyGuy]

It was soaked in soda ash for an hour, then run through the spin cycle of a washing machine-- This takes out most of the moisture while still maintaining the PH from the soak. Makes colours more vibrant 8)

[@ladytiedi]

+Crispy Thanks for taking the time to get back to me! You've got a great spirit...and it shows in your work! Huzzah!

[@rfgrannyb4092]

I just love love love your tutorials !!!!! I am gettin out my dyes lol

[@yasminheringdasilva2997]

What is that white powder you put when you flip over the shirt?

[@Alexandra-ks7cb]

So is your ice layer about 1× the thickness of your shirt?

[@Emmalacy314]

Hi! I understand you use Procion MX dye is there another kind of dye I could use instead, any recommendations? Like are there any you could pick up at walmart?

[@CrispyGuy]

I can only really recommend Procion for this method, as I haven't used other types. There are Tulip (brand) and other such kits at places like walmart, and while lots are even Procion, they tend to be very faded, and also don't seem to hold to shirts very well. So if it's really you're only option, then sure, try it; but if you have a craft store in your town then chances are they have the good stuff, and there's a thousand places online too, so I truly recommend one of those avenues instead.

[@420luckystarz]

I’ve never had it not dye on the other side before!!

[@divine1875]

where do you get your powder dye from? I can't find it anywhere ;) btw great video :D

[@CrispyGuy]

I order it online from Dharma Trading Co.

[@Vatertheone]

what is the brand of the colour powders?? or what substance do you use?

[@MichaelClaffy]

Could you clarify the statement regarding the sides to be done first. You started this with the front up I believe, which was contrary to your dialogue.

[@CrispyGuy]

Michael Claffy Sure thing, you want the backside of the shirt facing up first to do the dark half.

[@twodogs5395]

@@CrispyGuy How can the back side be done first when you folded it on it's side, the back and front are present on each side?

[@holdmybeer]

ive been looking for an easy way to earn extra money. thanks dude.
