[@kyler1496]

You are a life saver. I have SO MUCH acrylic paint and have been wondering if there is a way to dye my clothes with it... seriously.. thank you ^^

[@HanieBCreations]

Thank you. Interesting you thought of that. Just remember if you want deeper or darker, use more paint, & less alcohol. I've even added hot water to the mix, once I had the desired color in order to get a larger quantity of dye. Don't forget to set the dye afterwards. I have a video for that too. Have fun!

[@hamoodychannel9804]

Does the color fades away?

[@kayshachaos]

You seriously just answered my prayers. Thanks for making such an informative video!

[@HanieBCreations]

Wow! Such a powerful statement. So glad I could help you! Thanks for sharing your appreciation. HanieB.

[@HanieBCreations]

Once you have the color on your shirt exactly how you want it, than submerge into the vinegar solution, and allow to sit for one hour. The material dries rather quickly, so once the paint it's on there it really isn't going anywhere, unless you wash it, ( at which case will fade the color) OR soak it in bleach, (not recommended) As you may remember what happened to my cute little shirt I used as demonstration in this video. It's a tore up mess! haha. Yes fabric paints are expensive!

[@theof5645]

I have painted designs on shirts with acrylic latex paint years. Holds up as well, or better, than regular fabric paint. You want to dye the shirts then all you have to do is thin the acrylic latex paint . Soak the cloth in it, wring it out, dry it. And that's it. I like to thin mine down to about 10 parts water, 1 part paint. Have not a clue why anyone would use alcohol - unless they have a drink after.

[@kiddadd]

Theo F if the fabric already has a pattern on it, will the diluted acrylic cover over the previous design.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

To break the emulsion and catch up the latex bits because we're going for dye not paint.

[@ky-ann8542]

Thank you! So much cheaper than proper store bought dyes!

Love your ideas!

[@awriterwithguts2240]

WoW! I'm very impressed! I have been dying for years, using everything under the sun, and I never heard of this! It's great and perfect for what I need. I need to dye black, a small item that is 100% polyester and won't take any dye. Since I have loads of acrylics, fabric paints, I searched to see if I could use this, as a paint made by "Jones", can be used this way. I think it should work well and if it's a little stiff, that would not be a problem, as the item is a hat for a doll. Aloha!

[@gaspar30]

This is awesome, I'm making a custom action figure and I'm so gonna use this for it's clothing, thanks. Would it work if instead of tinfoil I use a fabric rag or something to filtrate the goo? Thanks in advance.

[@Craftylizette]

Thank you, clever idea!

[@HanieBCreations]

Thank you!

[@HanieBCreations]

Sure you can. I've done that to make a custom purple. Yes it works fine if you mix the right colors.

[@HanieBCreations]

Also try Tulip fabric spray paint. It's a spray paint that seems to work well with all types of fabric.

[@rustbeltvan-life1932]

So excited. I just bought for white shirts and a style I really like that they didn't have the colors I want it. I remember using acrylic paint when I was a teenager to dye clothes. I hope this works on some polyester :-)

[@navythrill2]

Thank you this vid was great

[@wendyfay16]

You could also use a very fine muslin to strain the acrylic from the colour pigment .. & when you tip the first strained liquid into the first washed tub, it would be a good idea to wash both tubs so that you get rid of as much of the acrylic sediment as possible. This should give you a much more pure colour pigment at the end of the second straining. This was just my observation, not practice. :)

[@HanieBCreations]

Great suggestions! Thank you for sharing. It's very helpful when people chime in with their ideas. Others reading may find the information quite useful, and give it a try.

Let's try this again...I seem to be failing on posting in a way you can answer. I want to paint/dye my cross stitch fabric. I want muted soft colors to not distract from my cross stitch. How do I get lighter colors...more alcohol or do I need to lighten the paint with white before making the dye...any ideas what will work.

[@sheilanies9223]

I tried it will alcohol i did it 3 times it was still icky i been doing it with water its been fine i even mix colors but how long does acrylic paint last I been using it as tie dye it works good but i want it bright candy cane like .

[@HanieBCreations]

Water is less expensive. Alcohol helps the paint absorb into the fabric, and causes it to spread further.

[@Mrfuzzykitycat]

Are these machine washable? And if they are will they fade color at all?

Skye Zombehh Hey. Meant to comment sooner. I got busy, and forgot. Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea despite the fact that I make washes all the time. People have asked me if there was anything else they could use besides alcohol. I think the alcohol, just helps it absorb differently, and it depends on how deep and dark you want the color. Thanks again.

Thanks, wanted to do that now and thought damn, where do I get the alcohol from, its sunday :D

[@yeerinadebnath5057]

What can I use instead of rubbing alcohol?

[@HanieBCreations]

Yes, I believe you can. I have. I used multiple colors to complete the shirt, but the whole shirt was covered. You will need to make up lots of color first, and make sure you use a lot of paint. The darker colors work best. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting.

hi, just curious if this works with glow in the dark paints

[@bluescluescarebears2]

So do u put the shirt in the vinegar rinse thing after all the paint is completely dry or before? It may be a silly question i just want to be sure haha. Thank u so much for posting this! Fabric paints can be so expensive so i think I'll use your idea to design my shirts. Thanks again :D

Can you use this technique on silk?

but I have another question I can use Aquacolor with water and than I can make some of this T-Shirt? Sry for my English I'm a German girl😇😅

[@HanieBCreations]

I'm not familiar with Aquacolor, so I cannot say if it will work. Don't let that stop you from experimenting. After all it was thru my experimentation, that lead to this method to begin with.

[@jan-martinulvag1953]

use tea strainer

[@stevensmith5486]

Why not replace the aluminum strain with an old t-shirt? I think since it's a tightly woven mesh wit would filter better.

[@HanieBCreations]

+ Steven Findlay I would encourage you to do that. It's good that you are thinking of alternative ways of accomplishing the same task. I learn by experimentation. If using a shirt is what you have for a filter; use it! I appreciate your throwing out ideas. As for me, I'm on to creating new ones. Thanks for commenting. Have a creative day!

Does it have to be acrylic

[@kai_ani_]

Hi! I dyed my t-shirt using this technique recently, I should've watched the rest of the video but knowing how bad I am, I mixed nail polish remover with the acrylic paint and used the tin foil to seperate the two. It did colour my shirt alright, not as great as I would like but do you think it'll be okay? It's drying outside at the moment.

[@HanieBCreations]

I think so. Many people have commented here and claimed they've used it, and it worked. Nothing wrong with experimenting. Let me know how it comes out.

[@viyamanikandan4508]

Hi. It doesn't keep well. Maybe till morning, but no longer than that. I would use it up as soon as possible. Thanks for asking!

[@emmabeatty5549]

I have a pretty light purple shirt that I need to dye white for a costume, will this work with white acrylic paint? Thank you for the video altogether :)

[@HanieBCreations]

I don't think it will. Think about it... White generally will not cover over a darker color. You might lighten the purple with white, but it wont white it out completely. Might want to try bleach. Be careful with bleach as it could eat the fabric if left on too long. Also be prepared for the bleach to change the color rather than making it white. Good luck!

[@emmabeatty5549]

Thank you very much!

[@kiddadd]

Emma Beatty store sell a fabric dye remover, then after removing the purple dye, you could dye it white

[@jantines6840]

thanks for your tutorial! 'rubbing alcohol' is hard to get in Holland, and also very expensive. Can you also use only alcohol? (i have a bottle of 97% alcohol) or spirit?

[@HanieBCreations]

Are you asking if you could use drinking alcohol? If so,-- no. If you are asking if you could use 97% rubbing alcohol, I would say yes. Even 50% is fine. Also, I've made several videos using rubbing alcohol, and people have asked me the same questions. If you are able to read some of the comments below this video, as well as the one pertaining to dying leather, I know other people have made suggestions as to what kinds of things they may have used such as spirits. I am not familiar with spirits. However, it appears others are, and have shared their findings. Hope this helped in some way.

[@lucia46y39]

But can you spray on the paint? Like put it in a spray bottle and then spray the paint on?

[@HanieBCreations]

I think you could probably do that. Try it! I came to discover this method by experimenting. I don't see why you couldn't do the same. Good luck!

[@HanieBCreations]

Yes. Check out" How to Tie Dye using Acrylic Paint Part II" for how that is done. Cotton works best. Have fun! Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi, my question seems to have dissapeared...How do you get lighter, muted colors. I want to paint my cross stitch fabric so that there is just a hint of color. Do I need to rinse with water or alcohol before setting, add more alcohol before painting? I really need to know how to get the muted colors.

[@labrador_dali]

to provide another data point rubbing alcohol in my paint didn't seem to do much besides thin it, no particles separated out

[@HanieBCreations]

+Jon Bryan Thanks for commenting. Were you using Good Quality Artist Paint? I would think that it might be because Artist Quality Paint has more pigment. Not sure.

[@krisasbury88]

Can you use an actual strainer like for kitchen use?

[@HanieBCreations]

Kristy Asbury I would say no, but you can try it. Making your own strainer is for the purpose of adding just enough holes with the toothpicks to strain the majority of color thus leaving the goop from paint behind in the foil. Hope this helps.

[@Kathy-cd5tp]

+HanieB.(C.~)reations Thank you so much! That really helped

[@suzieswagger]

Can we use something else instead of rubbing alcohol?

[@HanieBCreations]

Thanks for your questions. First off-- alcohol acts in two ways with regards to this method.1. It helps the acrylic paint color absorb into the cotton or fabric, 2. It separates the color out from the other fibers in the paint. Anyone can apply straight acrylic paint to the fabric, however, what remains is stiffness. I have seen people use boiling hot water. I haven't tried that personally so I can't say weather it will work or not. Lets say you were to apply hot water, I would first tie up my garment. Apply the paint straight to the fabric, and work it in. Place it into a bucket, poor the hot water over the fabric. Allow to cool before touching, and wring it out. See how that goes. I discovered this alcohol method by experimentation using the sharpie pen science. I tried the sharpie, and learned that you had to use way too many in order to gain effects, and than the colors faded out fast. If you have the time to play around or experiment give the hot water a try. Please use caution, and have your mother or someone help you. Hope this helps. HanieB.

I can't recommend anything else, as I personally haven't had luck in my experiments with anything other than alcohol. I know there are other videos on YT that people have put up since I posted mine on "Tie Dye with Acrylic Paint" and they are NOT using alcohol. . Just do a search, and also read the comments below my video to see what others have done. It's all about experimentation. AND if you don't mind the paint making your clothes stiff, just try diluting the paint with hot water, and see how that goes. Make sure you play around on fabric you don't care about first . Good luck!

[@BrittenyRosee]

do you think 98% accetone would work or does it HAVE to be alcohol. please and thank you. love the video :)

[@HanieBCreations]

Thank you. No.. I would not recommend acetone at all. Some people have tried it, and said it worked. I think it's too harsh a chemical. Many have reported mixing with HOT water. I'd be more inclined to try that first. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@BrittenyRosee]

okay. ill try the hot water then if that doesnt work ill walk to the store for some alcohol. just dont have any on hand but was hoping to try this for a cool project. Thank you again. this is such a brilliant idea!

[@endangpujia2952]

Why do you strain dye and alcohol solution

[@HanieBCreations]

To remove the particles from the paint. I think that's what causes stiffness.

[@trippymushroom691]

Can you use coffee filters.?

[@HanieBCreations]

Sure. It could work.

[@pearliangel]

maybe I should buy the toy dye kit

[@wilmaworst9302]

will this dye work on more synthetic cloth?

[@HanieBCreations]

No. It works best with Cotton Fabrics. I don't ever discourage you from experimentation. If you want to try.. However. I doubt it will stick or absorb into the synthetic fabric or cloth. I tried this method with a synthetic apron. The color just came off, and I wound up using straight Acrylic. You will get a little stiffness, taking this route. Hope this answers your question.

[@HanieBCreations]

You are welcome! Thanks for commenting. I don't know if methylated spirit will work. $9.00?? Are you kidding? Where do you live? I pay .99 cents or less per bottle. Maybe you could buy it online instead. I've not ever heard of a bottle of alcohol ever cost that much.

[@lujitsu1251]

[@jenniferduartevieira7244]

Would it work if i only use paint from the paint palette (sorry if i spelled. It wrong) Anyway thanks

[@HanieBCreations]

Jennifer Duarte Vieira You mean to poor paint directly from the bottle? No, not for the Tie Dye effect. You really need a more liquefied substance. Thanks for inquiring.

[@ll0lllo493]

Thanks cuz mama don't got no money for dye. and the paint down the street is only 50 cents a bottle. lol

[@BrittenyRosee]

also! the fabric is 100 polyester.. so would the color stay in the fabric more since im using the paint? cos RIT dye doesnt stay well if its not cotton.

[@HanieBCreations]

Right. I think I would just skip the use of alcohol and mix a little HOT water. Keeping more pigment from the paint will be a better match for polyester. You'll then notice more siffy's... BUT-- if it's too stiff, I'd just wash the garment a few times. I Tie Dyed a polyester apron, and just wound up applying straight paint first, than added a little alcohol to sort of dilute the color... Hope that makes sense.. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@rachaelvuong5031]

I know this is a long time ago but does it work like store bought dye? Can you tie dye a shirt the same way or a backpack?

[@HanieBCreations]

Rachael Vuong You can Dye anything, as long as it's mostly cotton material. I've just found this process works best with Cotton. Hope this helps.

[@endangpujia2952]

Why do you mix the paint with alcohol..you don't mix the paint with water

[@HanieBCreations]

It's works better to spread the pigment from the acrylic paint into the fabric. Have you ever seen Sharpie Pen Science? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpuyZ2ucocSCj6s This is where I came up with the idea to use Acrylic Paint, and it worked.

[@navythrill2]

Also can you use fabric paint

[@HanieBCreations]

Well, you could try it. Someone else asked me about fabric paint, and I really don't know..However, I came up with this idea by pure experimentation. So all I can say is experiment, and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, than you will certainly know. If it does, than you have come up with another idea for creating Tie Dye. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. HanieB.

[@navythrill2]

Thank you

[@brendaertl7775]

Howuch alcohol

[@HanieBCreations]

There is no set amount. Just dilute the paint enough so you don't lose the color pigment. Maybe about 3/4th more alcohol to paint. I would add alcohol --mix together until the paint is liquified, than add a little bit more alcohol.. I hope this answers your question.

[@sheilanies9223]

My Acrylic paint is cheap i get it at dollar tree

[@HanieBCreations]

Better stock up, those prices are rising soon!

[@kiddadd]

I want to use acrylic paint to ombre dye a flat sheet, not the fitted sheet. It is a queen size. I am confused about ratios. For a large piece of clothing, would I need a whole bottle of acrylic paint? Also if the queen sized sheet has a printed pattern (sold that way) would diluted dye be able to cover the pattern?

[@HanieBCreations]

The only way to cover the pattern would be to Bleach it out first, than Dye It. As for ratios-- I personally have always eyeballed whatever amount I needed . I have dyed Heavy Cotton Sweatshirts, and what I did was extract the color to desired richness, do a swatch test. I'd than keep adding Color & Alcohol as needed. If you are Dying Cotton Sheets than the fabric will absorb the color pretty fast. If I had to guess to mate, I'd say you will probably go thru at least one bottle of paint, and perhaps a few bottles of Alcohol depending on the size of the bottle. NOTE: I've never had to use more than one bottle of paint for Cotton fabrics especially. Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

could I dye jeans with this method?

[@HanieBCreations]

If they are 100% cotton jeans it might ; I am not sure how well it will work, otherwise if at all. Sorry I don't have a better answer than this, but I've not tried it on jeans so I cannot comment. I will suggest sampling a section. If you are wanting a multi-color look to your jeans, I'd say just slap on the paint and let it dry. Jeans are already stiff, but the paint will not remain stiff after washing. My favorite artist does it like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKmUf6iQiLx7fc0 Good luck to you.

And i love your creativity. One question though.. In my country we have vinegar for cleaning or cooking. You think it makes a big difference? (Maybe its an impossible question for you haha im sorry)

[@HanieBCreations]

Hi. Yes the type of vinegar does make a difference. You will need to use white vinegar. Make sure you set your completed work of art in the sun to dry. Than set it with the cold water. If you don't have white vinegar, and you need the shirt. Just wear it before washing. I'm going to be doing another video soon that will show a different process without alcohol. Hope it all works out for you! Let me know how it goes. HanieB.(C.~)™

HanieB.(C.~)™reations So i wanted to give you an update since you take the time to help people out.. I dyed another shirt and i let it completely dry in the sun.. I just bought the right vinegar and made a mixture with salt and cold water and i soaked the shirt in.. Absolutely worked 100%!! So thank you for pointing out your video i totally didnt see that the first time.. It all worked out in the end.. So thanks a lot and have a nice day (p.s i still used nail polish remover which works fine if you just make sure there's no or little oil in it.. :) if you do use it with oil it will just make your colors a bit lighter.. Which gave me some cool effects using both)

Cubedays Wow! Thank you for sharing your discoveries. I really appreciate it, and I am sure others who read the comments will too. This sort of information is exactly what creating is all about. It's about branching out, and experimenting with someone else's ideas to see what you get. Polish remover without oil is acetone. I hope you wore gloves. Just use caution when working with chemicals, as you never know how they can re-act to each other. In this case it sounds as if it worked out well. I'm happy to hear about it. Also happy to hear how the cold water treatment worked well. I know it WORKS because it's an old secret housewives have used for generations. The main thing to remember is to hang dry in the sun first. I'm so happy you found a way to make it work. Thanks again for sharing. HanieB.(C.~)™.

Would this technique also work with Jacquard textile fluorescent paints? I asked the distributor and she wasn't very much help at all. She basically said that they weren't for dying, but the bottle says brief instructions for fabric use. Thanks in advance!

[@HanieBCreations]

Hi. Thanks for inquiring. I've not ever hear of these paints before. I looked it up so that I could answer your question best of my ability. From what I read, it's a type of fabric paint. I'm really shocked that the distributor couldn't tell you more. If this is the case, and it's for fabric you may not need alcohol. However, as I tell everyone, who wants to try Tie Dye with Acrylic Paint using something else is that I discovered this process by experimentation. My answer to you is " Why not experiment with it?". Just place a small amount of paint onto a piece of fabric and let it dry. If the paint dries hard or has stiffness, than you know it's not going to be good for Tie Dye (by itself). Now...If you already know this, and you want to use this paint for Tie Dye. I would say do a second experiment by placing a small dab or so onto fabric, rub it in. Than douse it with alcohol, and twist. See what remains after allowing it to dry in the sun. Did the alcohol spread the color? Did it remove color? Did the color remain, but stiffness went away? Just see what happens. I wish I could give you a straight answer but honestly I'm not an expert on the variety of paint that is available today. Another thing I would suggest is looking at what is in the paint, and compare it to what is found in acrylic paint. If it's the same than just go ahead and apply my process for obtaining the color and have fun! HanieB. P.S. I would love to hear how it goes, so please don't forget to report back to me. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for your quick response. yes, the distributor has usually had very good insight with any questions about a product that I bought from them. I've been doing some experimenting with it and it seems like when I add water to it, it basically makes the fluorescent dyes really pastel which is not what I want at all. It's so hard to find a procion dye that is also a true fluorescent. Thanks for the ideas, I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. Will be a challenge! I just don't want the paint to be hard on the fabric. I think I'm going to have to apply it directly, but I'll try with the alcohol!

[@HanieBCreations]

You're welcome! I am amazed at how many people enjoy this process! It's my most popular video tutorial on youtube. I am impressed with the different ways people use the method. I'm going to be uploading a video soon on how to Tie Dye with Acrylic Paint without using the straining method. In the meantime you can check out something similar which might help with your experiment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqWVgIJ9n7KEj7s

How do you do paint for that

[@endangpujia2952]

How percent alcohol do you use

[@HanieBCreations]

at least 50% but I like 70% better.

[@HanieBCreations]

Sure, why not? For best results use cotton, and really deep or bright pigmented colors. Don't think it works well on some fabrics. See my tutorial/video on dip dying. You will see more on how the colors turn out.
