How to Tie Dye a Smiley Face 

Man, I hope you're still on RU-vid... These are some handy legit tutorials. When you first posted these, RU-vid didn't even have nested replies for comments.

I love these videos! They are easy to follow and the finished shirts always make me say "Wow!"

I really enjoy your videos. Great job !!

Thank you so much! You make it look so easy!

This is soo cool! And not so complicated! Thanks!

Thanks for all your videos steve they have helped me along tremendously. I just wanted to know if I wanted something similar to the smiley faces eye but much bigger, would I just repeat the same scrunching process or is there another way to go about it. If you must know I am thinking about making a Triforce tie dye and was wondering if you had any advice as to how to do the center triangle/whole process. Thanks for the videos

What type/brand of dye are you using?

What brand dye do you use? Like if I go on the site you mentioned what is it

Great video, I like the t-shirt

I was wondering, I was planning on making a shirt similar to this, just with a bass clef in the middle but I was wondering, with the design in the middle, could a do a swirl pattern or any other patterns with it instead of the one you used?

yes after you rinse really good.

@kathymcerlain1 rinse it in water. i usually just put it in the washing machine by itself

That is awesome I love it I am going to have to try that.

you can get soda as at a local arts and crafts store like joanns or michaels. the soda ash should be by where the tie dye kits are. soda ash is what causes the dye to absorb into the fabric. without it very little dye absorbs into the shirt

@BreakingDawnLover97 yes it would instead of yellow use green

I use this stuff at walmart called PHup. . it's found in the pool supply section. . you're just looking for sodium carbonate. . not to be confused with sodium BIcarbonate (baking soda). . you can get it at craft stores too. . called soda ash. . but it's the exact same stuff. ;c) awesome video !!!

Omg tht turned out sooo gr8

@KingsDominionGeek try dripping it on a very little at a time

you're a boss!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

you can find it at a local arts crafts store that sells tie dye kits. some kits come with soda ash some you have to buy seperate but it should be in the same area as the tie dye kits

yeah the soda ash is what makes the dye react with the fabric

i did the heart and it looks ok i would think i and trying to do some other ones but i am not good at the other cool looking ones

What do you do after it is all dried? Do you wash it any special way! And it is probably not. A good idea to wash several at a time right?

Where do you buy your dye and how do you prepare it? :) because the dye I buy turns out fine but never usually very dark on the shirts.

that turned out really well. do u do it for a living or just for fun?

that turned sooooooo cool!!! .......and is soda ash the same as baking soda?

If your folding the shirt ans drawing the design on the back is it gonna appear in the front as well ??? @colorfulSteve

what kind of dye do you use? I checked out the website that and it has several different types of dye. How do I know which to buy? Also, do you think craft stores would have less expensive dyes, or is the website the best place to shop for that?

have you tried the dyes out Walmart? If you have do they work?

That's really neat

That was so awesome :D Totally demented freaky smiley face LOL I have a couple of chairs from Ikea w/ white slipcovers that I am looking to tie dye. My teenagers & I are artsy but I don't want to destroy the covers because I was 'flying by the seat of my pants'. If you have any ideas on how I can do it or you can direct me to someone w/ guidance, that would be FAB! Much love

What type of dye do you use?

@indianapsychrn i use wet shirts soaked in soda ash

do you have to use soda ash? the kit that i got doesnt say anything about soda ash.

@traviswrestles562 its on the front and the back

What do you do in the 6-8 howers

awesome. i am going to make this for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@nutellarulz if your dying alot of shirts get it off the website if your just dying one or two shirts you can probably just go to a craft store

okay that's actually pretty sick!!☠❤

@traviswrestles562 no before

@mrstewart97 yes...u can

@fallenskates1 awesome sound good!

do u use wet shirts or dry shirts.. do u soak in s0da ash

in just did this and im waiting for them set soo when i un do em ill post a video of them and put it in the video responses!

Thanks for sharing

where do you get the dying rack from?

@iWeeWest i get my dyes from a website called prochemicalanddye(.)com. or you can go to an arts and craft store

so dark, can you lighten the colors in the pre-made kits?

you can get kits with most all the stuff you need at dharma trading company. In the kit I got it came with 6oz of dye powder (yellow, turquoise, and fushia red) urea, soda ash, gloves, dust mask, rubber bands, squeeze bottles and a book. Enough to do 50 shirts for like$75. (They also sell the shirts separately in all sizes)

i haven't soda ash... what can i use?

i tried to do a HEART and i failed misrably

I tie die and yes the Walmart ones work

Soda ash is sodium carbonate. You can buy a 3 lb 7 oz box of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda for $3.97 in the laundry cleaning section of Walmart. It's cheaper than paying 3.97 for 8 oz. of soda ash in the crafts section. Washing soda is 100% soda ash. Don't buy baking soda. lol
