Hey Mr tiedye. My name is John and live on the wonderful island of Vieques PR. I have made and sold over 500 shirts. Tourists and locals alike love wearing a unique piece of art. Your videos have helped me so much. Today I am attempting for the third time a peace sign... first two not so great but they still sold. Thank you my friend for doing what you do. Wish me luck with this next shirt and if you ever come to Puerto Rico look me up. Peace Brother

[@MrTieDye]

That is wonderful to hear... I love to help others have fun and success with this art... and for sure if I make it to Puerto Rico, I will look you up... I want to travel the World someday ... as for the Peace Sign... here is another video where I demo the Peace Sign along with a variation of it and in doing so, I explain more about the folding of the PEace Sign, so if you are having trouble, this one may help :kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIa7iYOrr8-FrqM

[@ellensackett]

@@MrTieDye No worries! I have a lot of videos to watch to catch up! Question: Why do you turn the shirt inside out? Also, I forgot to buy my kite string today -- have you ever used dental floss? :-D I need to get brave and jump in and do this -- not just watch videos! Although I will say that I am pretty happy with my start -- color is so much fun! Two other question -- if you goof with using the washable marker, do you need to rewash before you use that blank? Also, what do you think of bleaching something if it doesn't come out the way you like? I have a handful of shirts I bought that I can't get more of and I really like the sleeves, so I want them to be GOOD!

[@MrTieDye]

a couple reasons to work on the inside of the tees... first off, I use a pencil when drawing my stitched designs and it does not always wash all the way out. sometimes there are tiny spots where the dye did not dissolve all the way, so working from the inside, these spots will be on the inside, as well as any other tiny bits of dye that may get on a tee while moving it around and it is easier for me to center a tee by using the seams on the tee and now and then I have had sinew leave some marks behind.... so all of these things will be on the inside of the tee and yes I have used dental floss, it works well also, but in the end, I think kite string will be less expensive because I use A LOT of it. and yes, getting out a couple tees and just doing it will really help move you forward ... I love to open a tee after it has been batched for 24-48 hours.. I call it Hippy Christmas when using washable markers, if my line is a little off, I just draw over the mistakes with a different color so I do not lose track of my design, but if there are too many lines, then I will just re-soak in soda ash for 30 minutes and spin out again and most of the lines will be gone or faded, but no need to re wash. as for bleaching, I do not recommend trying to remove all of the color with bleach, my personal opinion is that it would weaken the fibers too much.... I have not tried it et, but I am going to play with RIT color remover some and see if that will work..... BUT, I have done some reverse dyeing, where I take a black tee, or a dyed one and tie it up and then use a 50/50 bleach solution to remove color rather than add it to create a design... but I only leave on for maybe 10 minutes .... if I am going to soak for longer, then I use just a 10% bleach solution ..... AND it is important to neutralize the bleach when you are done.... I do this by rinsing in cold water and then soaking in a solution of peroxide and water, 1 cup peroxide to one gallon water and soak for 20 minutes, then I rinse and wash. Another thing I do is over dye ... I will take a tee that did not turn out well or how I wanted, I soak in soda ash, spin out and then tie it up and add more color, or I will dye with black and this leaves a pattern of colors under the black... I will be doing a video on this soon. Hope this helps.

[@ellensackett]

@@MrTieDye That makes sense. Any other reasons? So...I just finished Day 2 of my tie-dye experience. I made four spiral pillow cases and two shirts. What did I learn between Day 1 and Day 2? Saturate the fabric with dye. Take your time when arranging the fabric as you want it. And using string to wrap is much harder than it looks! You make it look so easy! Oh, and one more thing -- don't get discouraged (so easy for me to do). I just kept thinking to myself: "Mr. Tie Dye didn't master the art of tie-dying overnight. It's gonna take some practice and lots of mistakes." And another thing: Be willing to forgive yourself for mistakes. That's also a hard one for me.

[@ellensackett]

@@MrTieDye Super helpful. Yes. I will salt this away for when I get a little braver and start to experiment more. I'm fascinated. Thank you, sir.

@@MrTieDye I have a question..I am sorry if it is on a video and I just havent found it yet..but what is the differences in the outcome of the designs dying with wet tshirts apposed to dry tshirts...

[@MrTieDye]

@@ziggychic1 for me, mostly I dye the tees while they are damp... if I am doing a design the has many layers like a mandala, then I will tie it damp and then let it dry... this is so I can get better saturation i in the design as the dye will creep and spread through the dry fabric better than it will on damp fabric

[@shannonkuznar4430]

Amazingly beautiful! You explained it so well! I am new to tie dye and dont even know a good brand of color to use, what do you use and recommend? I have some shirts I want to tie dye, maybe I should start on a sock? Lol

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you, I love what I do and enjoy helping others have success. I use fiber reactive Procion Dyes ... the closest place to me is Dharma so that is where I buy most of my dyes .... www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html they are in CA so west coast shipping is decent priced and I have bought some from Custom Colours in NC and Grateful Dye in CO ... but the main thing is to get the Procion dyes and you will need Soda ash as well ... it is what acitvates the dyes and you can buy it from the dye house, or you can find it at a pool supply store ... the other name for it is Sodium Carbonate (not the same as Sodium Bi-Carbonate so be careful) and you can start on a sock if you want, but I would go for a tee :-) here is my newbie play list, the first two video show how to mix the dye and the soda ash ... kzbin.info/aero/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo

[@MrTieDye]

yes I have had that happen more than once... so usually I just guess and go for it... but to avoid that happening, I will make a list of what I need to tie, then I will go down the list one by one tying the up and stacking them in my tub, in the order they were tied... then when it is time to dye, I break out my list and go down the stack.

[@freddiericketts827]

Thank you for the video, it was very easy to follow along to. What is the procedure after the dying is finished? do you rinse, wash, or just let dry?

[@MrTieDye]

you are welcome, I am glad to be of help to you... after the tee is dyed, then it needs to batch to give the dyes time to bond with the cotton fibers ... some people put their tees in a plastic bag, or cover them with plastic, I put mine in tubs on a rack with a lid.... this will keep the tees wet while they batch so the dyes can set up, it they dry out, then the batching stops ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iafLqIGHl82NgKM They need to sit for a minimum of 24 hours, but I prefer to leave mine for 48 hours and I add some heat by stacking these tubs next to a heater vent or I put them out in the sun and then they need to be rinsed and washed, here is how I do that .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGwkKGpqbCeoK8

[@tricias6621]

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you and you are welcome. As for the VW logo, I do not have a video for it yet... I have done it in a couple ways so... I did it as a double dye, so I folded the circle and the 'V' shapes of the V and the upside down V in the W ... batched it and then soaked it again and then I folded and dye the / to complete the W .... here is a photo on my FB page so you can see what I mean (this was from 2009) ..... facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216834468594334&set=a.10216834405192749&type=3&theater I have also done it as a stitched design and here is the process I would have used ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHrSoZ1sib-em9U and lastly, I do plan to try folding it again and I have heard other dyers mention folding the inner parts that are not the symbol, but I have not tried it yet ...

Also, I would love to see you do a design of your choosing ..something that hasn't been done 500 times would be nice! Thanks for your videos and all the tutorials you have put up! I watch and follow them closely. Once I figure the design out I will change it and put a little bit of Abi flare on it. Idk if you were expecting a book but here it is....hahah. Thanks for the future videos you're gonna put out as well baby.

[@MrTieDye]

I am sorry to hear about the tees that did not turn out.... you can still do something with them,. whether you fold/tie them back up and add more colors to them ... like an Over Dye .... or tie them up and then discharge them and then add more color ... I have videos that show both of these BUT, to try and help with the Peace Sign, here is a Live video, at the beginning of this video, I did a re-fold of a tie-dye tapestry I had made earlier ... sometimes seeing it already dyed and then re folded helps to figure out how it comes together : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPEgJmcm6mFla8 and you can re fold the 'X-Men' tees and see where you might have missed a fold compared to the peace sign

[@HotelBabs]

Hi Carl, Is there a time limit on the thick water if no dye is added to it? I made some awhile ago and was wondering if it goes bad. Thank you for your help.

[@MrTieDye]

I did not think so, but my most recent batch went bad on me.... it always has just a slight ammonia smell to it, but this batch sat longer ( not sure how long) and it had a really strong ammonia smell to it, but I used it any ways, then the next couple tees I did with the thick black dye from this batch did not come out very dark so I figured the thick water had gone bad.... I am going to start making smaller batches or store it in the fridge to make it last longer

Did you thicken the dye for this? I tried it for the first time with liquid dye but it all bled into each other immediately. Love your videos!

[@MrTieDye]

I used thick black dye for the outline, but the rest were regular dyes ... it does take some practice applying just the right amount of dye .... you might try getting the bottles with the fine tips so you can add smaller amounts of dye at a time... also, I will start applying the dye an inch or so away from the line to allow the dye to spread some on its own before it crosses the line. here are the bottles I use www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DB6K3XZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I buy most of mine from Dharma Trading Co. www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html I have also purchased the same kind of dyes from Custom Colours in NC and Grateful Dye in CO. Here is a video on how to mix the dyes : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfNY2tviZt1jMk

You are my tie-dye hero. Thank you for sharing all your expertise :-)

Thank you 🙏 😊 and you are welcome 😉✌🏻 ... I love to see other have success with this art

[@KaleidoscopeKara]

How would you do this as a reverse die? I have a blue shirt that I would like to reverse die and do the same design

[@MrTieDye]

I would fold it up the same way, and the line that you initially fold along is the center line on the peace sign, then I tie an inch or so on either side of that line .... those two ties are where I put the black for the peace sign, so you can tie those two lines with sinew ..... then you will have black lines similar to this one I made and then you can dye the parts after you do a good rinse job on it OR, the other way .... fold ups the same way as I do in the video, tie you lines and then in-between those two lines, wrap it with sinew and tie tightly, this will get you a solid peace sign ..... I will be getting back to my table soon and I will be doing some discharging, so maybe I will make a quick video of both of these processes .... have fun and I wish you success!! ❤️✌🏻🌈🙏

When you’re folding shirts for ice dye or liquid. How damp or not at all damp do you fold them? My main issue is sometimes it’s impossible to do the sleeve tuck center fold perfectly due to the fabric stretching a bit while it’s damp. However, when I try to fold while it is dry or less damp. I find that accordion/pleat folding becomes difficult to do and hold in place. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you so much for providing so much great content

[@MrTieDye]

my preferred method is to soak in soda ash for 20 minutes and then spin out the excess so the tee is barely damp ... the main thing is to make sure the spin cycle does not spray water or it will dilute the soda ash, if yours doe, then try setting it to half way through the cycle.... and yes folding when slightly damp is easier as the folds tend to stay in pace better .... as for centering the tee, I did make a newer video to try and explain it better .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6q7l6eJhad8itE have fun and you are welcome

[@juliafrance1691]

MrTieDye is ok Ti

[@jillwalden4298]

I can't determine what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this twice, and both times ended up with a circle with 2 areas of the color I put on the tip of the shirt but no black lines inside the peace sign. I have black encircling the entire peace sign and I have black surrounding the two areas that I colored the tip(top of the shirt when it's folded). It also looks like It would be upside down. Both times it turned out exactly the same, and both times it was wrong so not sure. Love your videos though!

[@MrTieDye]

I will do what I can to help you figure this out, but I need to see your results, here is a link to my FB messenger where you can send a photo to me .... m.me/CarlMrTieDye

Eric Rose I did and I love it. Not a sheet but I bought a bunch of flour sack towels and they are amazing for practicing. Great size and like 10 for 7.50 at Walmart. In case you wanted to try it to see how you like it first.

awesome and yes you can fold or twist the rest of the fabric however you like once you are done tying the peace sign part ... have fun and I wish you success

How do you thickened the dye

[@MrTieDye]

here is my video on how to make thick black dye .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57EhYuNmbN9itE

[@crazydiamondmlp]

I have tried this method on shirts twice now and both times I've had the same problem- the only part of the inside 'legs' of the peace sign that show up is the junction right where they meet. I'm POSITIVE that I've put the dye in the right place, but it just ends up as a circle with a weird little triangle in the middle! What am I missing??

[@MrTieDye]

it sounds like part of your folds are coming out while tying it ... you can send me photos through FB or IG, ... I have links in here to both places as well as my store where you can send me an email if that works better for you : launchlinks.com/MrTieDye .... once I see a couple photos, I can try to help figure out what is going wrong with your Peace Sign OR, in case this may help, I talk more about the folds in this video as I compare a regular peace sign with what I have named the 'Huggable Peace Sign' : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIa7iYOrr8-FrqM ... this one explains more about the folds and how they create the peace sign design ✌️

Is it possible to make a hand of hamsa design?

[@tereselapree222]

Is ring the thickened dye keeps it from spreading out? Another thing to add to my dharma wish list!

[@MrTieDye]

yes the thick dye keeps the line from spreading out.... but it also does not soak in very far, so I tend to poke the tip of the bottle down into the folds or I will use a metal tool to apply some pressure to the black line to help in soak in deeper

[@andrewoldham4462]

Hi I have only been following you for a short while but I am constantly impressed with your skills. Can I ask is it essential to use thickened dye with this design and if I am unable to aquire the appropriate product would it be possible to use a thickener used for food

[@MrTieDye]

thank you and no thick dye is not required, the black in the only one I thickened here, it just gives a better outline ... but it does not have to be outlined.... AND yes I have heard of people using other stuff to thicken their dye, but I do not know what or how much was used .... so I say go for it and have fun!!

[@missyopu]

Mine turned out like a blob with no real distinct lines but I don’t have black dye, I tried some very dark blue but it all ran together, so Do i have to thicken all the dyes or just get some black dye and thicken that?

[@MrTieDye]

I just thicken the black dye that I use for the outline and then I press it into the tee with a cuticle pusher ..... but the out line is just my preference ... it doe not nee to be there... as for the dye all running together, .... you may need to apply less dye at a time and let it soak in some ad then add more as needed

[@missyopu]

MrTieDye thank you ☺️

Could you do an University of Alabama "A"? Thanks!

[@MrTieDye]

after looking at it, I would either stitch the A ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHrSoZ1sib-em9U .... or I would paint it with thickened dye .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4fLnJJojp1jl6c .. I think the detail of the A is too much for folding ... but you could also try this if you really want it to have a tie-dyed look to it.... be sure to stock up on your patience first ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3m3pmilfrSomc0

[@audreyyoung198]

I’m hoping to do this design soon!! I use dharma dye, I just ordered it and it should be in tomorrow! After I mix it, how long can I keep it after I mix it? In the past when I’ve used regular dye from Walmart kits the dye got weaker and weaker the longer it sat. I just don’t want to waste my dye!

[@MrTieDye]

Wonderful and the Dharma dyes last for a while, I have mine around for 2-3 weeks at room temp after I mix them, I write a date on the bottle so I can keep track... and if you have a spare fridge to store them in they will last even longer..... but at the 3 week mark, if I still have dyes, I will add another scoop of powder and blend it again just to freshen it up. And yeah the store bought kits, most of them are one step, which means the soda sh is mixed in with the dye powder, so as soon as you add water, the dyes become active and must be used with in a couple hours for maximum colors.... so I recommend people who use those to get all of the tees they want to dye all tied up before you mix the dyes and then plan on using them all inn the one dye session. ..... the other dyes I mention above are just the dye powders and I soak my tees in the soda ash... so then when you put the dyes on your tees, they come in contact with the soda ash and then start bonding with the cotton fibers ... anyways, have fun and ask questions here if needed... and if you subscribe to my channel and click the bell, then you will be notified when I put a new video up, OR when I go LIVE

[@gillianwinzinger9558]

Hey Mr. Tie Dye, I've noticed that a lot of designs with quite a few folds are difficult to do when dying shirts in children's sizes... definitely this is one I haven't managed to do in a kid's size. Can you talk a bit about some designs that you think work best when you can't fit in a lot of tight folds?

[@MrTieDye]

small tee are definitely more difficult, but with practice they will get easier .... I have done peace sign on a onesie and it was quite difficult and did not look as nice as this one, but it was there ..... as for folds that work on small tees.... I would say any ones that are just folded in half, like the heart are easier... the peace sign has that area with 8 layers of fabric to fold and that is part of what makes it difficult on small tees

[@heatherkeefer6989]

How damp do you leave your shirts? Does the damper the shirt make folding easy

[@MrTieDye]

I spin them out until they are just barely damp using the spin cycle on my washer... just make sure if it sprays water to set it to half way through the cycle as the water will dilute the soda ash.... and yes, in my opinion, it does make folding a bit easier, as the fabric stays together in pleats, scrunches or spirals when the tee or tapestry is slightly damp compared to dry ✌🏻
