We are planning a tie dye party and I absolutely love this gorgeous shirt wish me luck in my attempt to do this!!!!!!!! You are an artist sir. Long ago in cave days we used rubber bands and bunches of fabric I am impressed and happy to learn such coolness now! Thank you kindly 🎉😊
I did the bleach about 30 years ago. It's pretty cool. You never know what color it will be. It depends on the dye used when shirt was manufactured. I tried different color shirts.
funny you should mention that, I shot another bleach dye video after this one with a blue shirt. It turned out great, very different. That video will go up soonish 😀
All of the bleached black shirts I found on RU-vid ended up orange, I wonder if there are black shirts that turn a different color. Maybe if they are made of something other than cotton 🤔
I’m going to be revisiting this concept soon with fewer variations on a single color. I’m interested in finding out how many combinations play best together 😀
Hi Brenden. To make the vertical pleating easier, draw a line (with washable marker) half way down the shirt, perpendicular to the direction of the pleats. Fold along the line and secure with an elastic band. Then pleat either side of the band. This is the method I use when going for horizontal stripes and it is so much easier than trying to fold along the whole length of the t shirt in one go.
Very cool! I enjoy your videos. I wonder what would happen if you twisted the shirt before you put the rubber bands on. It would still have the concentric circles but would the white lines be angled in a different way?
Just keeping it real, but you should stop asking for likes and subscribes, instead just have a like and subscribe button appear on screen at the end of the video, it would be equally as effective.
Thank you! I think I’m gonna start putting the dye colors in the description in case I forget to call them out in the video. I’ve done it a few times now 🤪
Love this shirt. I wonder how it would come out if you did just the rainbow on the front and then all black on the back. Kind of like how the sprial is done with color on the front and black on the back.
Very interesting! I have a whole lotta hippie friends, but have never worn a tie-die or known how it’s done. I love the single spiral! I’ve seen that pattern many times and wondered how it was done, but I was surprised when you opened it up! Liked and subscribed, because I want to see how you make multicolored patterns. Thank you!
That came out super nice ,great colors for all of fall time. I have never done tie dye, one day I will overcome my fear of messing a project up, as a seasoned crafter, I shouldn’t do too badly…lol! Just need a great tutorials or teacher!!! Great job!
Dharma has a chart somewhere on their website that says what colors to use for each team. Amazon has 4oz precision tip bottles that make laying down thinner lines soooo much easier. Always put your yellows on first. The other colors tend to overtake it. Looks great, even if it isn't a Chiefs shirt ;) You're doing awesome for a relatively new dyer!
I'm not a fan of brown. but that looks pretty good. I like the pattern. I notice you have a nice, new roll of sinew. If you continue to use it off the roll like that, it will soon be a tangled mess. Get yourself something like a piece of dowel to wrap some around. It will be so much easier to get your tension. And if you leave a couple inches of a tail and tie a knot in the end to make it easy to find, the sinew does unwind. Also putting some thickened water on the areas you want to stay white will help. Sodium alginate is available from Dharma. (And in case you don't already know, around Thanksgiving they have a free shipping promotion.)
That’s great advice! I think I’ve heard people on RU-vid talking about thickened water but I haven’t investigated further. Guess I know what I’m gonna dig into today! I didn’t know about the free shipping promo, definitely gonna take advantage of that. Thank you so much for the recommendations ☺️
I just did my first spiral ice dye and I added more ice and dye after the first round of ice melted because there was still white showing . I love how you left the white in the middle and the design is beautiful! Thank you!
@@BrendenStewart I was curious cause I seen it still had white seem thread after dyeing.. How's that work if it's 100% cotton? I prefer the seem thread remaining white is why I ask.
Great question, the thread in these shirts is polyester I believe. The fabric is cotton but the thread doesn’t accept dye. I might look for shirts with cotton thread. 😀
@@BrendenStewart well thank you.. at least now I know one of the cheaper options has the same color I prefer. Btw.. the Haynes I use have cotton seams if that's what your looking for 🤷
This longer shirt has curious... Have you ever tried inclined dieing with the blank in a V shape .. kind of a double incline towards each other... If that makes sense 🤷
Helpful information! I appreciate how I learned more about how different patterns are created. The people wearing matching shirts are going to look so cute together.
I adore hydrangeas. For the past couple of years, I have taken cuttings from mine and rooted them and have created about 45 new plants for only the cost of the rooting hormone. I just got that hot pink today. But also Dharma has a color called hydrangea, which I got, but haven't tried it yet.
As soon as water hits the powder it can start to split. If the powder is under the ice there is less time for splits to happen. Try over the ice and see what you think 😀
