How To Tie Dye (with FRUITS & VEGGIES)

[@heta7887]

Ok so the red cabbage dye is actually an indicator aka it changes color depending on the pH, and apparently it still works after the shirt gets rinsed and dried. So if you spill something like vinegar or lemon juice on the shirt it's gonna turn pink, or green if you spill laundry detergent on it, AND it will go back to blue when you rinse it the more you know

[@svenja4262]

Also, sweat.

[@Shmoxd]

This is awesome!!!

[@lestranged]

Even perspiration changes it. Reminds me of those old Hypercolor shirts that changed color from body heat but mostly in the armpits because that was the warmest part.

[@svenja4262]

Theoretically you could make cool designs with different alkaline and acids. But I don't know how to make the colors permanent. It is really interesting but with the next wash all the different colors would go back to blue because washing powder ist a alkaline

If I remember correctly: soy milk works well bc the dye has protein to stick to. You’re supposed to soak plant based fabric in soy (we used soy powder bc it was cheaper). It’s why silk wool takes dye easily-something about dye sticking well to protein :)

[@BabieBunnie2015]

So that would be in general wha natural fabrics dye better than synthetic?

[@julianagioioso4736]

You should sew the shirts you cut up to test back together with like, exposed seams. I feel like that could look super cool

[@ArtisticInspirations.]

Thats what I was thinking

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

even cooler is to combine both the avocado dye samples and the red cabbage samples together to make two checkerboard shirts, maybe even add some cool embroidery to some of the squares as well

The quality in transitions with the fruits and veggies and the dye just makes me so happy when I watch it ahh Also really cool to see all those tests and how much your table suffers when doing all these ;D it's real cool !

only the avocado will dye correctly fabrics. tips : cut the peels and the seeds and let dry. when it's done grind it on your blender. putt powder on water and let boil for 1 hour. more you putt powder more the dye will be darker. after that filter and boil for an hour again with your fabric.

[@mimiz6575]

I've used onion peel and that has dyed my cotton shirt and table cloth pretty well. It stayed on even after washing. I agree with the cabbage and spinach though. They won't hold up washing that well probably since they're more stain than dye.

[@Cameron_Layne]

Alot of food based dyes are ph sensative, so when you wash them they turn to their 'basic' color. It's not great for wearing, but you csn turn it back to its red 'acidic' color by adding lemon juice

I wanna try putting lemon juice on all my shirts now!!

[@2020Dumpsterfire]

If you want a red get madder root dye, the colorant in beets isnt dye quality and just washes out and will fade pretty quickly. To get dye to stick better to shirts youll want to scour them before hand which is just washing them in a way to get any chemicals from the fabric making process off and any natural wax the cotton has. The easiest color to get from natural dying is yellow.

I've also been experimenting with dyes and natural dyes! Would love to see more of this and your experimentation with them. Especially the washing process afterwards and if anything varies when the shirt isn't 100% cotton. Where can I see/read more about this?

[@sarahlealdg]

Hi Camila! I’m a natural dyer and I just saw your comment, so I thought it would be great to answer it (: The universe of natural dyes is huge and it’s important to know some information to get the most out of it. So, when we are dying with natural pigment, we will always use natural fabric, cotton, silk, wool, hemp... If the fabric is not 100% cotton, and has a synthetic fabric in the mix, chances are only the cotton part “grabs” the dye, so there will be parts with the fabric original color. Anyway, I don’t recommend using mixed composition fabrics (even if they are all from natural fiber), because the decomposition overtime is different for each one of them. So, thinking in sustainability, is always better to use a fabric that is 100% of a fiber. The washing process is also very important! You have to clean your fabric reeeeeally well before dyeing to remove any dirt. And after, of course, but you have to keep it the most natural way you can. So prefer natural laundry soaps, with natural components and don’t let your natural dyed clothes in the sun to dry! Hope this was helpful to you! ❤️

So I’ve done this thing with cabbage what I did was make tea out of red cabbage than added la croix and honey and mint and ice cubes and that it you add a lemon slice to the side of the glass and when you squeeze the lemon into the drink and it turns hot pink it’s tasty and super pretty and the cabbage does not really have a flavor witch is really nice because the honey and mint taste really good Edit:just a little recipe form me

[@firegodessreiko]

Try turmeric next time for a better yellow. It stains EVERYTHING badly, so I'll bet it would work great if you did it on purpose~ Not the cheapest veg, but even a little bit of the powder goes a long way.

[@Misuzu1215]

Aw, I hoped you would try using indigo for the blue color but it’s quite a bit more involved. btw all natural dyed cloth need to be treated with something called “mordant” to make them wash resistant. What should be used as mordant varies depending on the dye used. I’m not sure but maybe the things you treated the tshirts with acted like a mordant, although as far as I know mordant is applied after dyeing.
