Marble Tie Dye Tutorial- How to Tie Dye with Shaving Cream- Beginner 

Thank you

Best of luck!

I’m using procion dyes and soda ash is necessary to make the dyes color fast

Thanks for watching. The first pass is going to be the strongest as far as the dye sticking. So I usually do the front first.

I wring it out from the soda ash solution- so it's damp still. Thanks!

I’m not sure if tulip will work. You could try a small test on a swatch of fabric. Let me know if you try it.

Yes it will work. It won’t be as vibrant though because that’s how tulip is

I’ve never done it on silk- only cotton. You have to wash the fabrics so maybe a “washed silk”? Let me know how it goes if you try it.

thanks

I don't recommend using polyester for dyeing.

I don’t remember exactly because I made this video about 2 years ago, but probably about 4 tablespoons?

Sometimes a little shaving cream sticks to it and that's fine.

Yes I think you could put cardboard inside to keep it stretched out. I think it would work on a fabric with a little bit of synthetic fibers, but it might make the colors not as bright.

Yes soda ash primes the fabric for the procion dye and makes sure the dye sticks to the fibers. It's the secret to rich brilliant colors.

The soda ash preps the cellulose fibers to receive the dye. Procion dye gives brilliant results. I rinsed it with cold until the water runs clear and washed right away and dried it as soon as I got it out of the washer to prevent bleeding. I didn’t use fixative.

You can use as many as you want you just have to mix them up separately.

Maybe, I recommend using a test swatch for new fabrics and to get a handle on the swirling technique. If it's 100% cotton it will probably work.

I've only used shaving cream for this effect- let me know if you try something else- you can always do a small test swatch.

There should be Spanish subtitles now. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Simone!!

Tha is so much!

yes I think it would. I've done it also on a thermal waffle texture and it worked.

@@OnyxArtStudios I saw the waffle one and then watched this tutorial! Thank you! I was concerned about the thickness of the fabric. I'll let you know how it goes!

@@emilyfox1824 how did it go?
