Tie Dye a Snow Flake Tee

[@NevrNormal]

I love that you edit yourself and say what you didn't like about how it turned out, so it can be better next time.

[@MrTieDye]

Yes, thank you... for me it is about the learning process and sometimes that comes in the form of noticing what did not come out as planned and then doing something different next time and yes I see it as helpful for others to show when it happens even to me ✌🏻🙏🥳😎

[@shannondh83]

I love this design. You second guess yourself after the fact when you edit and are kind of hard on yourself in my opinion. I think that they are just beautiful.

[@MrTieDye]

thank you and yes, I can be my worst critic at times ✌🏻🙏💚

[@mickiebarker5691]

Thank you so much for the snowflake!!! Now I can start to make my 30 family Christmas shirts. I am so excited!!! You are the greatest!

[@MrTieDye]

you are welcome and I plan to make a 6 petal snowflake soon using the same method as my lady pointed that out to me :-)

[@boa9535]

MrTieDye: You had to move the t-shirt into the screen shot a number of times with this video. More than usual. Can I recommend putting a square of another color on the table to help. Probably some tape a slightly lighter color than the table, maybe a light gray would work, so as not to disrupt the viewers concentration. Your videos are wonderful. I’m so grateful.

[@boa9535]

MrTieDye: I’m sorry. I just realized I said this thing about the center or square a second time. Oh, sigh. I seem to have to do things twice in order to make them click in my mind. TY

I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge! As kind of an expiriment, can you use people to model how the final product, so we can see how it looks? I know it makes me want more when I see people wearing them.

[@bggines_1260]

For sure i'm gonna try this flaky design, uhm, btw, do you have a tutorial with the one you're wearing now at14:39? Ty sir Carl!

[@MrTieDye]

Oh yes... the Tie-DYe Leaf tee... I have a video to show how I stitched and Dyed one similar to the one I am wearing.... the difference is I dye the one I am wearing with Bright green for the outline instead of black : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHrSoZ1sib-em9U

[@bggines_1260]

Great video, Carl! Saved it on my notes😊! I'm curious about that shirt you're wearing15:03. Do you have a link on that shirt where i can check it out? Ty!

[@MrTieDye]

that would be my pot leaf tee, here is a video on how I do them : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHrSoZ1sib-em9U ..... although, the one I am wearing in the video, I did a green outline instead of black and then dyed the rest of the tee in black as well ... here is a photo of my in the tee over on FB : facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1059503450768541&set=t.1242428136&type=3

Beautiful ...what kind of die..I am 🇱🇰 srilankan

[@MrTieDye]

I use Fiber Reactive Procion Mx Dyes. I buy most of mine from Dharma Trading Company, these are Professional Dyes and are long lasting. They work on natural fibers such as Cotton, Rayon, Bamboo, Hemp, Linen, and Silk. Here is a video on how to mix the dyes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfNY2tviZt1jMk These are the base amounts to start with, personally, I use 5-6 tsp for 16 oz of dye.

[@MrTieDye]

I asked other dyers around the World where they buy their dyes from, here is the list I have so far: USA CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ CO : CO Wholesale Dye Corp. : www.bulkdye.com NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/ MO : Dyespin : www.dyespin.com Canada Vancouver : Maiwa Handprints : maiwa.com/ Toronto, ON : G & S : www.gsdye.com/products.html

[@toniswogger9487]

Do you always liquid dye? 1:14

[@MrTieDye]

Not always, but it is how I started and I Liquid dyed for many years before I learned about Ice Dyeing and HWI ... here is one of my video where I tied the RonStar onto a Dress and then Ice Dyed it, but a little differently than normal as I did not do a mandala here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpTJk3akZbabo80 I do like the Ice Dyeing when you have thick folds

[@js1465]

whats the reason for letting it dry out prior to dying? (versus just dying it right away like normal?)

[@dianaj1524]

When you’re dying something that’s really thick a dry dry shirt will soak up more dye and wick it to the middle so you’re less likely to have white spots where the dye didn’t penetrate. A damp shirt acts as a resist in this instance because a wet/damp shirt can only hold so much liquid so the dye may not make through all those layers of fabric.

[@js1465]

@@dianaj1524 thank you! That makes sense

[@MrTieDye]

yeah ...... what Diana said :-)

[@MrTieDye]

thank you, I could not have said it better myself :-)

[@crazyrvlady6091]

What is the water to soda ash ratio in spray bottle?

[@MrTieDye]

it is the same as the soda ash I soak in... I mix mine one cup of soda sh to one gallon of water and I fill my bottle from that bucket whenever it runs low.

[@resinlovecanal3871]

Que puedo usar a parte de la soda ash para fijar el color ???

[@MrTieDye]

No estoy seguro de si hay otro producto que no sea carbonato de sodio si está usando tintes de Procion ... El carbonato de sodio es lo que activa los tintes de Procion de fibra reactiva, otro nombre es carbonato de sodio. Puede encontrarlo en una de las casas de tinte, o puede comprarlo localmente en una tienda de suministros para piscinas, o en la lavandería con el nombre de Wash Soda, solo asegúrese de verificar que la etiqueta diga 100% Soda Ash. Así es como mezclo o hago carbonato de sodio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHWUfoZ4Zdh0j5o

[@TheCupitFam]

Why did you wait for this shirt to dye completely before dying it?

[@TheCupitFam]

Sorry if you said it, I skipped ahead a few times!

[@MrTieDye]

when I have multiple layers and things tied tightly, it is best to wait until it is dry so that the wicking action of liquid on dry fabric will help get the dye into the deeper folds of the design... other wise you may end up with a white splotch where you do not want it

[@TOm-oz6rg]

Hi can you share addresses of esophaguses where I can order dye I’m from Russia and it’s bi problem to find professional dye pigment Thanks

[@MrTieDye]

here is a site that has places to buy the Procion dyes in other parts of the world and there is one listing for Russia in the list ..... www.pburch.net/dyeing/dyesources.shtml other than that, I do not know where else... I buy mine from dharma, but shipping may be very high ... I hope that helps you... I have seen a few people from Russia on the tie-dye pages so I know they are getting their dyes from some place ... good luck

Por favor legend as em espanhol , plis, pliss 😍😍😍😍

You can turn on the subtitles by clicking the Closed Caption (cc) button in the lower right corner of the video, then click the gear button next to it to select the language

[@karentheorbgardener8429]

I'm shocked that you could squeeze & still have the definition. I seem to have better luck with ice or snow dying my mandalas, otherwise they turn out like dart boards. I use sinew but still, need to never squeeze to get my definition.

[@MrTieDye]

yeah it has taken a lot of trial and error with mandalas myself as well... trying this and that and seeing what works the best
