Tie Dye Designs : Re-do Re-dyes [Yep - they needed help!]

[@GOYOSGardenTiedyes]

I think all three turned out just fine definitely different than what they were before thanks for sharing😁✌️

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 😊

[@Zothiqueness]

The last shirt looks like it's made of glass and shattered! The second one, I think you're right. I wonder what would happen if you did a geode reverse on it! The first one is pretty cool. I never heard of the thickened chemical thing, this video is packed full of information. I can't wait to start doing tie dye too!

[@FunEndeavors]

A geode would be cool with the 2nd shirt as the background.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

I think I would have done a spider fold on the third one. I like the first one the best but all in all it was a fun experiment. Thanks for sharing, Angie.

[@FunEndeavors]

A spider fold would've been a great idea!

[@Turandot29]

Angie's disappointments/failures are better than my successes. LOL!!

[@PaulaPoole-t6m]

I think the black did improve the shirts. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@janiceeilers8579]

I like the side lines and vertical stripe one the best. It looks like something I would do.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you!

[@cathyursulacomrack5653]

i am glad they did not look that good. cause i threw away shirts when i first started so i dont regret it h ha ! i did see some one use ron star fold.it did look good so posting this is much appreciated Angie

[@gracegibbytiedye]

Ha Angie, I'm really glad to see you redoing shirts, instead of throwing away. But I really liked a couple of the them before you redid.😆. We tend to be are our own worse critics.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 🙂

[@wdchopnfool]

the first one was the biggest improvement. i am going to try you method of spiral under the microwave plate cover. i have seen people use it to keep their scrunch heights more even too. thanks!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks! That's a good idea to use it on scrunches.

[@natemartin9283]

I feel like the lines on #3 are sharper than #2, I like it. It almost gives a 3d effect where the black lines are standing out on top of the rest of the pattern. Overall I think you did improve all three shirts drawing focus away from the aspects you didn't care for.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks! I agree - the lines on the 3rd one really pop out.

[@SWEAR2CARE]

Wonder if you can make dye thickening with flour or cornstarch hmmm, I'll let you know.

[@FunEndeavors]

I'm not sure, but I would be curious to know if it works. Keep me posted! 😀

[@SpaceCaptainCreations]

Ahhh! I like that shirt 😂 seriously though, I have 2 pairs of shorts I’m going to do the same thing right before my soda ash recharge in the bucket. 🔥

[@FunEndeavors]

I figured instead of throwing them away - I may as well experiment and see what happens. I hope your shorts turn out looking cool!

[@zalialyon1853]

i thought u was gonna take the dye out 1st n o have done that but blue seems to stay..liked the last 2 ..thanks for sharing

[@FunEndeavors]

I decided to try something new and add color on top instead.

[@zalialyon1853]

[@FunEndeavors]

Were the shirts on the middle and the last one dyed while being damp?ty!

[@FunEndeavors]

The first two shirts were damp, and the last one (the rainbow one) was dry.

[@loriboldt4799]

I am on the fence with these. The more I look at them, they grow on me. They are definitely showing improvement.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks! I figured I may as well try something on them.

[@amandagermany5933]

I've got a few I'm going to do also. And I have several bottles of thickened dye already made up. I am going to put ice over the thickened dye and see what happens.

[@FunEndeavors]

That's a great idea!

[@lazonfutura2872]

I Luke the shirts. 😊

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Vixxie475]

Quick question! I've got a dress I love that was pink and white but I managed to leave something black in my wash and it's now dirty blue/grey and pink! I've tried colour save but it didn't work! It's a summer dress so I don't want to dye it black but is there any colours that would cover it or is it a lost cause??? Thank!!!

[@FunEndeavors]

I hate it when that happens. By the way, Carbona and Shout both make sheets that you can stick in your washing machine to make sure colors don't bleed onto each other. I use those a lot when I wash newer clothing from the store. They won't help now, but for in the future. How dark is the pink in your dress? If it is a light pink, a lot of colors would probably cover really well. Just keep in mind that they will be tinted by the pink. For example a blue would probably look more purple after dyeing over the blue. You could also do a reverse dye. That's probably what I would do. I would tie it in a pattern with sinew and use Out White Brite on it. Then you could dye it whatever color you would like to. You could actually just dunk the whole dress in Out White Brite and see if you could remove all the color and start over with a blank slate. It probably won't take it to pure white, but maybe a shade of taupe. You may as well experiment with it - if it isn't wearable now then it's worth a shot to try and save it!

[@Vixxie475]

@@FunEndeavors Yeah I've got some of those sheets now. You'd think at 47 I could be trusted to do the washing!!! 🤣 It's a light pink so I think I'll try reverse dying it and see what happens. I can't wear it as is so whatever happens it's no loss! But I like the idea of purple. I might try that. Thanks!!

[@pattic.2975]

Great advice!

[@FunEndeavors]

@@Vixxie475 I use those sheets quite often. It's saved me from having to wash a bunch of small loads of clothes. Amazingly, it is not my tie dye that bleeds dye all over everything. It's the clothing that I buy from the store that does. I think reverse dyeing is a great way to go. If you don't want lines that are the color the dress is now, I would put the whole dress in Out White Brite without tying it. Let me know how it goes.

[@Vixxie475]

@@FunEndeavors i will! Thanks. I really didn't want to throw it out because it's comfy and light!

[@Jaxom35x]

It looks like on the dry shirt the black lines are darker, sharper and more defined. The other shirts, especially the middle one, look like the black lines are more faded and out of focus. Both are good looks and can be used in different ways to achieve different goals. More experimentation and trials to show different things and results to everyone, thank you.

[@FunEndeavors]

You're right - the dry shirt lines really pop out and are much darker and more defined. A combination of tying a damp shirt and then dyeing it when it is dry would probably be the best.

[@BruceCarroll]

Your fails look like my good shirts. My fails become rags to clean up dye with (wiping down my rack and so on).

[@FunEndeavors]

You're too sweet. Trust me, I've had a lot worse fails than these over the years.

[@estherreeves6445]

What is chemical water?

[@FunEndeavors]

It is water that contains Urea. Here is a link for how to make thickened water or thickened chemical water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6SXdnZna8imrs0

[@pattic.2975]

Yeah, I'm on the fence too. I think I like the first one best. The striped one, I don't think that did enough to make it better. Would you Out Bright this one and start over or toss it? I hate to waste. What do you think if you Out Bright it and do over? Better to experiment than toss? Or, like Bruce, use as a rag? I like the last one as I didn't think it started out so bad. Love experiments, this was a good one. Thanks!!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Out White Brite might work on these, but I had the thickened chemical water and wanted to try just applying color over the top.

[@SWEAR2CARE]

I used to live about 5blocks from DHARMA store in San Rafael...now just trying to burn through an arsenal of Rite die colors. Not as bright it's so different. I Soda ash doesnt make a difference Dyeing everything but t-shirts ....all at once to make matching outfits,, jean jacket with jeans w/solid no-tied top. So Ironic huh.

[@FunEndeavors]

Were you in to tie dye when you lived next to Dharma? I've never used Rit dyes. From what I've heard though, you're right and they don't need soda ash. They are a totally different type of dye. I'm sure your matching outfits look really cool! 😀

[@nickgemerek6820]

I think you’re being too hard on yourself! I think it really changed the shirts for the better!! It adds something unexpected to standard designs!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 🙂

[@janiceeilers8579]

I have a lot of shirts in my d Redo pile.🤣

[@FunEndeavors]

It happens to the best of us!

[@alberts1985]

Pretty much all my shirts don’t turn out exactly how i expected. Rookie mistakes. 😆

[@FunEndeavors]

It happens to all of us sometimes.
