This is a great tutorial. Good for you giving credit where credit where credit is due. I watch their channels too. Casual Collisions does neat experiments. He’s like the mad scientist of tie dye.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I love watching Casual Collisions experiments. I have no problem admitting I learned by watching others, like Mr. Tie Dye... I appreciate their content and am trying to pay it forward. ❤️🌈

The colors are very Mardi Gras, fun summer colors. I think this shirt turned out beautifully. Thanks for the video.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Thank you so much, Jules. Glad you’re tuning in and enjoying what you see. ❤️🌈

[@kguthrie115]

LOVE THIS!! Those colors are gorgeous. I’m adding amethyst to my cart right now. I appreciate how you give shoutouts to your inspo’s. Watching Casual Collisions got me through the whole “what have you” last year. He’s so mellow, I’d watch him at work on my lunch break because everything else was so weird. Fun Endeavors... she’s so concise. IDK if she’s a teacher in real life, but she gives good lessons. You sound like a friend I’d like to hang with and play with crazy ideas!

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Amethyst is gorgeous!! You won’t be disappointed. Katie, same here! I turned to tie dye to get through quarantine and was hooked right out of the gate! There is something so satisfying about taking a white shirt or whatever and turning it into a kaleidoscope of colors. Most everyone in the tie dye community are awesome people. I’m obsessed with tie dye and can talk about it all day! 😘❤️🌈

[@BLKMGK4]

We all stand on the shoulders of others learning from one another, sharing is a terrific way to advance the hobby! I too wash many shirt together with no bleed - the soda ash is pretty well removed during the initial wash out so it's neutral. On the first wash I'll even throw in clothes that aren't natural fiber like black socks or under armor shirts, never an issue with bleed. On the second wash I usually have a pile of dirty tie-dye to add that need laundering. Can confirm that not folding in half works well for saturation on this fold! More work adding the dye though and maybe not as symmetrical top to bottom. Honestly in the pics I didn't notice the fold you were pointing out, it looked great! Dye on the hands can be removed pretty easily with a quick squirt of liquid bleach. I keep a spray bottle at the sink and just mist my hands VERY lightly, rub them together, and then rinse and soap. I never leave it on long but wow the dye on my hands disappears in seconds!

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I have no shame in admitting I learned from watching another tutorial. Heck, I taught myself by watching KZbin and asking Dharma a bunch of questions. I don’t have issues with bleeding during the wash cycle because I rinse well and ice dyes are pretty much rinsed out already. As far as dye on my hands I mostly don’t care and wear it as a badge of honor. It rinses away within a couple days on its own. I dye my hair purple so I get a lot of staining... 😜 ❤️🌈

I like this one a lot.

Gorgeous! This really turned out better than I expected. I wash a bunch of shirts together too. The only time is don’t is if I’m trying to keep a white area white. Thanks for another informative tutorial. 💙💙💙

Thank you. The colors are so different I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. Yeah, if I’m trying to keep white, white, I too wash it separately. Rhanks for watching, Shannon. ❤️🌈

[@zalialyon1853]

I realy love that..great work n we're lucky you share your knowledge with us..could this work with liquid dye....thanks for sharing

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Yes you can do this pattern with liquid. You might not get the streaks and you definitely won’t get the color splits. The vertical lines will be more pronounced. Give a whirl. I’m curious what you come up with.

[@andreawells641]

I thought the yellows and purples next to each other would not turn out well but it's so pretty! How much time do you spend rinsing each shirt in the sink? I feel like it's taking me FOR. EVER. to get the water to run mostly clear. Oh! And I'm glad to know about washing several shirts together. I was just thinking about that earlier tonight as I was rinsing my kids projects.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

The “brown” worry is perpetuated. A little blending is fine… It depends on the color. Blues take the longest to rinse, then the reds. Liquid takes longer than ice. I’d say on average 5 minutes. The bathrobe took a solid 10+ minutes. I’m very comfortable washing many t-shirts together, especially if they are like colors. If I’m protecting white they get washed alone. The last three single color dyes I washed together because they were so light. Rainbows I wash together because if you think about it, all the colors are there. If you rinse well and use Keiralon you will have no issues. ❤️🌈

[@nateb4543]

You ever used crushed ice? Or smaller ice cubes, like the kind at Sonic? I wonder how that effect things

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

All the time. Most of my tutorials are done with my Frigidaire ice maker. The ice I use is listed in the description box. ❤️🌈

[@pmp4101]

Great shirt! One question on ice dying this design: did you apply powder to both sides, or only one? Thanks for your time.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I think I only did the one side. I don’t 100% remember. If I flip it and add dye to the back I will show it. I don’t leave anything out or try to mislead viewers in any way. ❤️🌈

una pregunta esa camiseta esta seca o ya tiene el carbonato de sodio o esta humeda

La anilina está hecha de un hidrocarburo, mejor usa protección

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

¿Qué es la anilina? ❤️🌈

[@candacecooper312]

Did you just do one side or flip and repeat when the ice melted?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Candace, I did not flip it and repeat. I checked the back and there was enough dye coming through. When you watch my tutorials, if I flip it and add more dye I will show it, or at least try to explain it. I hope this helps. 😁❤️🌈

[@kelsieteal1223]

I love these colors I cant read them tho :(

[@jerrychapman7091]

Does that way use more color powder,then mixed with water?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I don’t think so, Jerry. It takes two tsp to mix liquid dye. I bet ice dyeing uses less and gives much cooler effects. 😁❤️🌈

Dharma has kits. You need to get some soda ash. Dollar store is great for the odds and ends. Everything I use is in the description box. Ice dyeing is my favorite. The colors are amazing!
