DIY: How To Tie-Dye Clothes w/ FOOD!! (Avocado, Turmeric, Berries!)

[@parishijain3304]

Love the blazer!! Tip: for colour retaining..you can put a mordant in while boiling (easiest mordant is salt ). Also soaking in while the dye is boiling..soaks better and retains well too.😊 Hope that helps somebody!

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Thanks!

[@lindawatson5090]

Thanks for that info!

[@xswtmiseryx07]

I would love to see a update of this project a few months from now. How much will it fade over time?

[@Orly_Shani]

will do!

[@kt-so6dh]

It will fade as turmeric isnt a permanent dye, Ive taught eco dyeing. Beautiful colours and you can crushed iron tablets to change the ph value and change the colour. As with most eco made dyes changing the mix with metal oxides gives a whole spectrum of colours. Turmeric is cool and easy to use but drying in the sun and general contact with the sun will fade the colour greatly and as stated before will fade with washing. But have fun!

[@irenecordoba8387]

Would vinegar help to set or fix the colour so that when you wash it don't get white? I usually wash shirts with turmeric stains and the go completely white in the washing machine.

[@kt-so6dh]

@@irenecordoba8387 there isnt anything to stop it fading im afraid. I suggest cold washes and then at a later time a re-dye. If you really want that permanence then I would suggest a permanent shop bought dye. One well known uk brand still changes by altering the ph value so you can get the look of natural dyes by playing with the mixtures by adding vinegar and iron or even rusty metal items. Vinegar is used as a mordant and turmeric doesnt need a mordant to attach to fabric. Botanical colour at your fingers by rebecca Desnos is a good, simple to use starter book if you're looking at natural dyeing. It's not super in depth but gives some good ideas, explains the processes x

[@jdmosaics]

k t vinegar is not a mordant, it is a modifier. Most food stuffs do not have any permanence on fabric unless you use a mordant. If you really want to learn about natural dying use a good book by Jenny Dean or India Flint. There is so much misinformation re natural dying on the internet. The Clothing industry and chemical dying is one of the biggest environmental disasters of our time and anything we can do to stop this earth destruction by using natural methods in the clothing industry, the better off our planet will be.

[@grandy2875]

Everything turned out kind of pretty, if subtle, which is not a bad thing. They all look really nice, even the red wine to grey one, though I think my fave is the soft pinks of the avo dye... :)) Sunlight can "bleach" the tone of a lot of red based foods, that's why you should always put anything that has been stained with a tomato-based sauce in the sun to dry after washing it. That's probably why the red wine shirt turned grey, but I really like the softness of those tones of grey. I'm a bit of a pastels chick. ;) One of the best natural food dyes would have to be the Mulberry. As a kid we had a giant Mulberry tree in the back corner of our yard, and we would always be in that tree...and mate, did it ever stain everything!...it'd get all over our skin, and take days to wear off, and would we ever cop it off mum if we got it on our clothes, especially anything light coloured. I managed to "ruin" my best white sundress...she was ropeable!!... :)} *a tip for getting mulberry stains off your skin - rub the stain with a green (unripened) mulberry, it neutralises the redness of the ripe berry...and Silkworms love the leaves...aahhh, another childhood memory...

[@shinellenglund4539]

Omg gurllll... I love that yellow turtle neck. That color came out fantastic.

[@mariagalbova9891]

Avocado blazer is the best. I like very much idea to use nature colours.

[@louiscisse]

omggggggggggggg the turmeric jumper is SO SO SO SO SO good!!!! I love a yellow that kind of leans to the mustard/brown side!!

[@petraz.6631]

OMG love it!!! 'I didnt like my beets so I made a salad!' 🤣🤣🤣 She is brilliant!

[@Orly_Shani]

hahahah

[@toniburkheart3617]

Love love love the avocado and the wine tees!!

[@niccoleleo]

Love that you used natural foods and spices! So inspiring!

[@mollypruitt3659]

My favorite things were the table runner, the spiral shirt, and the avocado shirt. Very cool ideas!

[@dawndesu6863]

Thank you. This is the best natural tutorial I've seen. You've shown me that the sun helps brighten them.

[@craftinginthemoonlight]

Makes me wonder how the beets would have turned out... I'm so going to have to try natural dying. Been wanting to for years but just haven't been confident enough to to try it. Since I don't have much else to do, now seems like a good time and it's a good reason to make guacamole!!

[@BarbaraFischer4]

You should try it! If you use scraps, you don't even need to buy anything!

[@cavelleardiel]

Orly is great but you can also find other resources on line too. Another technique which is awesome is shibori with indigo dye. Good Luck!

[@chrisga2700]

beets go blue, so do red cabbage (different shade)

[@msmercedescontreras]

This is such a great video!! I’ve been gathering all my veggies and fruit skins for my compost but now....I’m going to save some avocado skins for that gorgeous color! I also know that coffee is a beautiful brown color too.

[@angelsmith4467]

I love how the spiral turned out very different, they all turned out cool.😃 I bet chili power would be a good one.

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Ooohhhh! Now I'm gonna have to try that!

[@Orly_Shani]

ooooh chili powder....or paprika??

[@antje1076]

@@Orly_Shani Paprika, I guess... It becomes a rich orange, if you use it in your cold process soap batch...

[@anastasiaanastasia217]

Saffron would produce a beautiful deep yellow to orange and you don't need a lot....I would guess about 10 strands in warm water to activate it

[@yoditgedibe4255]

I love all of them especially the sweater turned beautifully . I have tried the avocado before and I had the same issues but I will try it again and drying on the sun. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@TammyDeLaRosaUtube]

Great video Orly! I actually loved the way the sweat shirt turned out. They all turned out very nice. Thanks sharing this hack.. I think I'm going to try it. 😊😉💕

[@paytonwagner9927]

So cute!! I love the avocado tee! I’m totally making it soon!

[@sceng2784]

Im not into tie dye, but I love, love this. I love how you try different methods and projects. You will never be boring. BTW I love the sweat shirt..they look like feathers to me...like a dream catcher. Youre the best, thank you!!!

[@paolaflores3227]

We need definitely a second part! I loved how the blazer turned out! I. So happy to see how your channel is growing in subscribers!

[@melissaparrick5502]

OMG.... so nice to see you again! Love, love the color from the avocados! Thank you for sharing. ☺

[@belyndamaniez9703]

Me: *empties the fridge* Mom: Do I really have to ask you..? Me: *I'M DIYing.* Your sister is just as pretty and sweet as you are 😍❤

[@Orly_Shani]

hahahah love this

[@karynhuber3118]

Love this so much Orley!!!! I totally shared it with my twin sister. And more importantly with my girlfriend Iris. Who goes into the bush looking for natural sources to dye with. She gets sheep wool or alpaca wool & then create these natural dyes from mushrooms & lichen. I shared this video of yours with her as more inspiration. The fact that you discovered that the sun can deepen the colour of these natural dyes is awesome.

[@lestranged]

This is so cool. I've dyed yarn with coffee and tea, (they both come out brown/beige) and I feel like that would blend well with the turmeric and avocado. I've also seen a youtube video using onion skins (boiled) to get a burnt orange shade. I could picture a whole brown-orange-yellow ombre look.

[@gabymiranda5593]

You’re amazing Orly... all came out beautifully and it’s all natural woow🤩

[@Orly_Shani]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@micaelmariemonroe646]

Love this ✌️my fave part is when you dropped the wine and then just threw your shirt on top of it on the ground. We could totally be friends🤣

[@ThelmaGrace1930]

Dying is so satisfying! I use Rit Dye. But this was fun to watch!!

[@Bellemogli]

I loved how the carpet runner turned out. The color looked awesome and I'd sport that just about any place in my home. I'm gonna try this in the summer this year woohoo! 😊😊🤠

[@katkat4392]

We’ve done this natural method with Easter eggs! We cut the beets into small pieces and boiled it. Purple cabbage makes a beautiful blue.

[@sconet7634]

How fun! I did bleach dye, and it worked. I have been thinking to order some dye. However, after watching your video, I think i will give food color dye a try.

[@xinying9552]

Love tie dye on a blazer!

[@utoobr10]

These are such pretty results!

[@elviaaguilar3809]

Omg! Best video ever! I actually tie dyed this week! Love the natural dye. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! I live for Friday’s, simply love all your videos! Thanks again. Be safe, be well. 💜💜💜

[@Orly_Shani]

thanks for watching them!!

[@SammiSaysCreate]

This is such a clever idea!!! I've been really wanting to try out some tie dye but it can be pretty expensive!! Thanks for the inspo!!! 😊🥰 xx

[@Mrs_Fields95]

Hey Orly Happy Friday! Love how this turned out!!! Stay safe.

[@michelleweatherspoon8087]

Awesome video and I learned a great salad recipe too! Thank you for sharing.

[@TimtheRedBot]

So creative idea and the result is just amazing!

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Dying with kitchen scraps is so fun! That's a cool hack with the sun too!

[@iont8172]

This is so cool! (Low-key still waiting for that tie dye hoodie...) Although it doesn't matter if it didn't work out since I honestly love EVERYTHING you do!

[@godivaone3891]

Yes. Quick and easy. Thanks. I’m going to do the a sweatshirt in creating rainbow effect.

[@empatheticallyme5971]

Spiral sweater is my favorite for how perfectly sparse it is

[@lilsmomel03]

I love the color blue. Any suggestions on what foods to use?

[@kathybriones1316]

Wow, everything turned out great. I do lots of tie dye, never with natural dyes. Going to try a shirt tomorrow.. roast the beets and then use the juice. My daughter has painted with the juice

[@bettytorres632]

Great video! Would you do a DIY using food coloring? Does it work the same was natural foods or not?

[@50sRockChick]

This is wonderful. I'm going to see if my girls fancy having a go at this. Would you do a part two of natural dyes sometime please?

[@hlucienne]

I WANT THAT RUNNER! Love ❤️

[@divalolabrendel8472]

Try andnuse black beans for blue and spinach for green. Also onion peels for light yellow and the beets wouldnhave been a nice purple. Use a mordant at the end.

[@mariannerady1137]

Very helpful! I love how you always share what worked and what didn't. Plus, who knew that avo skins are purple?? Pretty cool!

[@mortenselnes]

I literally watched all your videos tonight and I got so crazy inspired!! Omg keep up 🎨😍🥳

[@InaTrendyTown]

Wooow I have to try this technique 😍😍😍

[@customqueen3974]

14.38 come on orly the dye is a COMPLETE throw in the air hope for the best and that is beautiful like all the other stuff LOVE YOU

[@AlejandraMezaDIY]

I loved it, I wonder how it would turn out if you use matcha or something else, I’ll definitely try this with everything in my kitchen hahahahaha for sure, thank you so much!

[@Orly_Shani]

oooh Matcha!!!

[@lindarosenthal6835]

‘So I made a beet salad!” Classic

[@whitefeather572]

My grandmother taught us to make our own dye as kids. Try onion skins..each type makes a different color! That tumeric is to "dye" for😊

[@znycelondon5313]

Love all of them My favourite is the sweater. F.Y.I. for berries........crush them in a small amount of liquid. Let sit in liquid........ratio berries to water......you decide. Use liquid for the dye. Once again you have a cool project that gives sooooooo many options and results😊 🥰🌹🥰

[@cleobradford5806]

Love love watching you orley. You come up w/ some awesome ideas.

[@jacqibelle]

Definitely want to try natural tie dying! Particularly the tumeric

[@somasvahe]

Tannins help the color to last longer so perhaps a red wine dunk first (no wash) and then the avocado with sun exposure would be a hit with staying power over time??? Would be interresting to test :) Other plant dyes like weld and madder usually other tannin rich things than wine are used, but as red wines have tannins... perhaps.... :)

[@Krystalwatchesvideos]

I actually like the sweatshirt the best! I’m digging the colors & prefer that they aren’t too “in your face.” 😊✨

[@cindydolezal9362]

Boil the red beets separately but not for too long to get a pretty pink. Now I have to try it in the sun! Trying banana peel right now because...I had some. Also rust dyeing.

[@BNHAalltheway]

All the clothes turned our awesome great colors

[@TheWatermelonSunrise]

Very interesting!! Do the turmeric coloured clothes change colour when something acidic gets spilled on them? And what could we use alternatively to sunlight if we don't live in sunny LA but cloudy UK??

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

Best tie dye I 've ever seen👍

[@dawnmainwaring7797]

Love them all

[@rubygregory1992]

Wow! Super cool! Do another video and try dried hibiscus flowers! Also, I think if you used just red beets but wash, peel and chop them first it would work.

[@74ouistiti]

Your shirts turned out so well - LOVE IT! I have to try natural dying, too.

[@robertmas320]

Wonderful colours

[@dianadivadiamond]

Love them all but we would rinse them in a salt bath to stop the colour from fading whenever you wash them. Thanks for sharing luv. Stay inside and be safe.

[@luciedumontier1614]

Hi! Thank you sooo much. I'm having so much fun. I tried them all and I did also red cabbage, it turn blue.

[@Orly_Shani]

oooh did the color really stay strong?

[@jslattery0405]

So so good! Definitely going to give this a whirl!

[@pinkykashgill]

hay just a tip - as an Indian I grew up getting curry stains on a lot of clothes (as we put turmeric in EVERYTHING) my Ma always said don't worry it'll come out with the sun (after a wash of course) and surely it did, the more sun exposure it got after being washed the stains gradually faded. So maybe don't hang out in the sun after washing DIY turmeric stained clothes, hang inside or use a dryer... ;) i liked the avocado the best it was just a pretty colour, would've been nice to see how the beetroot one turned out? next time you could try coffeed green tea, I think that would take really well, I've accidentally stained my work desk with greentea lol

[@21prufrock]

I enjoyed the video. May I ask about the fabric choices? What materials would this work on? I am sure cotton and linen for sure.

[@donnamcknight3175]

Absolutely loved must of it but the runner was my favorite. That would very expensive in one of the more well known stores! Thank you!

[@user00616]

Looooove this and you Orly!!!! 💞 more dye vidz plz!!

[@AlejandraMezaDIY]

Omg I can’t wait to watch this one!

[@margaritacano2861]

I did one shirt with tissue paper and it's beautiful 💜 i will def try this!! It's so cool💙💙 love your videos and much love from Colombia 😊

[@sandralambchop]

I have used turmeric & avocado but I also tried red bush tea (rooibos) and fresh mint leaves

[@Surferess]

I love how you just went and made a nice Beet Salad in the middle of this DIY! lol

[@valajonsdottir7794]

Thanks for an other good one. Red cabbage will give you a kind of blue i think the red beets might do the same The sun exposure is a great idea

[@mai_world]

Great option for ALL the stains I have. Hahhaah! Great vid, again, Orly!

[@danadz2383]

Oh how yummy!! I can't wait to do this.

[@barbarapajak2441]

I just remembered that in order to keep the color of beets vibrant you might want to add some lemon to cooking. That's what we do when we make beet salad. Anyway, I loved the video. I always wait for the new release! :)

[@KomalKankaria]

try salt bath for all of them to see if the colour stays intact! loved the sweater most!

[@michelleplunkett1277]

I’m going to do this with my students!! Awesome!

[@paulaloew3889]

so happy to have stained my tee... will try with turmeric/curry mix!!! thank youuuuu

[@christymccullough7306]

Those are amazing tho!! Thanks for showing everything

[@Beren_Yildirim]

Last week i dyed my bleached platinum hair with turmeric and it has the same color with the sweather, %100 would recommend guys

[@tadrushijani6154]

Traditional turmeric turns red when comes in contact with soap. That's what I have known. So there could be food colouring in the turmeric?! Or I could be wrong. Anyways great hacks and totally inspires me to try these at home! :)

[@26sakshi]

Yay it's true ...detergent is basic( alkaline) in nature and turmeric turns red when in contact with detergent

[@sandyvrocha]

Omg thanks so much for this video can’t wait to try it with my kids

[@PiNkbAnnAnna]

Really Kool! I wanted to make a tie dye with food video as well! I love the blazer 🙌🏻👌🏻

[@Orly_Shani]

You should!

[@Oonagh72]

1. Who is doing your hair? You haven’t had a single bad hair day all quarantine. 2. My fave is the spiral. Leave it alone. It’s pretty perfect. 3. Look up how to dye with beets. It is very easy but kind of specific. 4. I also love the jacket. It is very unexpected 5. If you have light colored jeans those would be cool tie dyed too!

[@Orly_Shani]

thanks for these notes! I have tried to strip my color of any dye and get back to my natural. Using a blue shampoo to keep brassiness away. makes a huge difference

[@casuarinagirl8067]

YES!!! ☀️ omg thank you. Just started researching food dyes this week and 💥 there you are 🙏💪🏻💃😎💕

[@magdalenaszarnik6754]

It all looks sooo good. But! My number one question. Does the color transfer?

[@Orly_Shani]

once it's washed I think you should be good. We'll see whether they fade at all

[@missme3331]

I guess the Turmeric works best, looks nice and I love yellow.

[@mowattlavern62]

You can use eggplant also any vegetables, but there going to end up the opposite color. But this is neat

[@gigioz74]

Our op shops aka thrift stores are open again now so I'm keen to dye some preloved clothing! Love the jacket & yellow rib....so gorgeous!

[@alondraromerocordero9994]

La jamaica pudiera ser buena opción para teñir las prendas, me gustó mucho la idea, me parece muy ecológica ya que la industria de la moda es una de las que más contaminan, así le das otra oportunidad a tu ropa y sin dañar el ambiente 👏👍

[@dori6148]

Love love love ❤️ Halfway through the video I had already shared it with 3 of my friends! 😃

[@Orly_Shani]

omg you';re the best!!! thank you!

[@misskothy9116]

Omg this is such a cool idea, I'm sharing with my DIY girlfriends right away... no more throwing away boring white t shirts

[@poonamdhruw2716]

Wowww supre amazing 😍 DIY

[@DaniecahJ]

I do this using coffee and I failed 😂 but I love to try other method ❤️ and I think this will help
