- A "How To" talk-thru on the folding, spinning and dye application for the Reverse Spider style of tie-dyed (tie dye) shirts/flags.
A quick guide for all levels of experience... - Jak na to + styl
What a dude... Loved that he walked all the way around the table! Looked even funnier sped up :)
Great video, very helpful. I like how you actually talk us through.
I LOVE the walk around the table to twist...get your steps in! 😁
The Covid Curl... get that pulse up! 😄
That really turned out nice!
The thing I love about tie dye is there's really no right and wrong. For someone like me who's not very visually inclined, it's fun to not have to worry about messing something up. Sure you can go for a particular look, but in the end the more creative you get, the better the shirts tend to turn out.
So awesome... I cant wait to do it
Bless you, guy in the corner
MARAVILLOSO!! GRACIAS POR COPARTIR! (Desde Buenos Aires)
Classy video. Well done sir.
That looked awesome
bless you .... to whoever sneezed
I actually snezzed
I enjoyed this video, Thanks!
Awesome job!!
Ok for one the shirt is awesome and I love that you had elvis :))
Thanks for posting! your videos are very helpful :)
wow that so beauty full idea. so amazing. is simple way and very easy... i would try too...
Thanks! I did do that a long time ago... and it was a fun way to make some money. You have to be really committed and make a large amount of shirts and have a market though. Not always easy to have all at once.
You can heat the shirts (still tied up) in a plastic grocery bag.
You just microwave them on a medium setting for a few blasts - not enough to boil the water in the shirt, but enough to get it up to a hot steaming.
Once it is that hot, let it sit half an hour, then rinse...
The heat often sets the dye very well. Not quite as good as wairting, but still good.
how did i get from scary maze pranks to this who cares i love it
That was very cool, I'll have a go but nothing seems to come out like the demos!
That's interesting, I've never applied dye in spirals I always do wedges. I really like the outcome though I'll have to give this a try.
Food colouring might wash out too quickly and not actually stain the material - but it can be done for sure.
There were dyes in the past we would make "flags" and sheets with, which we would never rinse out or wash - just hang on a wall.
Food colouring would work for that, but not for a shirt you want to wear out...
This is a great video, thank you very much :)
@JasonStephens1973
They are a powder... but you also add: salt, urea, and the soda ash.
Not all dyes need soda ash - and the urea is an agent that lets the shirt remain moist while the dye works into the fibers.
Brian Setzer? awesome! and thanks for the tutorial.
I learn it how to dye.thanx for teaching
Thank you!
Have fun, smile always.
Really nice shirt! I'm gonna try this! And I like how you went around the table. lol. I would get dizzy O-o
These dyes need time or heat to set the dye. You can microwave or steam the shirt a bit, then rinse it - that will work. But waiting two days minimum tied in plastic is the best way.
Other dyes work differntly - some are set as soon as they touch the material (usually hot dyes).
Esta muy padre esa técnica trataré de hacerla
bless you ( i've been tought to say that when some one sneezes)
You can do that... and it will look alright. You can dye the shirt without putting the spider part in as well - looks good too.
I add the extra middle actual spider in darkest, just so it shows up well - but it does not have to be so prominant. It can be any colour, or just a part of the full dye - not a special added part...
@Beatrix986
The soda ash is for these Procin MX dyes. Some others will also need it - but RIT and Dylon and the like do not need soda ash.
Not sure if it would help, but it would not hurt at least.
You have to use it for the Procion though - it is what makes the dye permanent and set.
Chow!
I rinse them in the sink first, a fair bit.
Then I put them in the wash machine.
There is always dye runoff, so sink rinsing first is a good idea...
Yes, I get so many coments against that spin around the table.
It is just how I always did it, so I still do it like that.
Whatever works best for you is best always!
@Carlarazzi
Hi
Yes, any dye will work fine... but these Procion are super bright and vivid - and you will love them greatly.
They can be picked up by mailorder in USA and Canada, as well as other vendors in Australia and South America.
But any of these folds and spins will work with any dye (or bleach).
A good way to get in some exercise!
this is why canadians are the coolest~
@croatika1 I know you can get it in most craft stores...but larger super markets probably have it too. You can usually get the other materials you need, such as rubber bands and dye fixer, as well.
i love this design , i just hope my teacher tommrow has bottles so i can do it
Bless you kid
parabens muito bem feito amei , eu vou fazer
These dyes are pretty much equal to water. I would say you want a dye to penetrate the material easily...
A thicker dye might not penetrate or seep/mix enough.
I have tried fabric paint for tie dying, but we watered them down alot.
you're awesome!
It may be the dye type... this time waiting is mainly for the Procion MX dyes I am using.
Try heat... you can put the tied up and bagged shirt in a microwave and heat it gently (you do not want to boil the water in the shirt)... two or three 30 second blasts on high with a short wait inbetween... the shirt needs to heat to steaming, then let it sit a bit longer and rinse once cool.
You can go into any local chemist and they usually have a little stand with Dylon dyes :)
xo
I hope that helps you get a better result.
heat is often the best for most dye types (these Procion are a bit different than most).
@fingerANDsk8BOARDER
It is Qeen's "Crazy Thing Called Love" done by the Brian Setzer Orchestra...
@023Lexi
Probobly too late - sorry; But you can heat the dyed shirt to speed the process.
Tied in the bag, microwaved for thirty seconds each side, then left to cool before rinsing.
You want the shirt to be steamy and hot - but not to boil.
@ThatUsernameIsTaken4
I think you may find that food dye will fade quickly... but you could.
You could actually dye "flag" material (cotton) with food colors - and then not rinse them out, just hang them. But if they get wet, you mayt see the colors run...
Any dye will work, yes. But some dyes make a huge difference for brightness and quality finish. I have tried all I have found, even watered down fabric paint... if you can find a great dye - stick with it only.
Pretty cool
@WolfEchoes That's awesome
@dapperdallas79
If the dye is well set, and then the shirts are rinsed well after - you should be able to put them in a dryer. The only time that would be a problem is if the shirts were still giving off dye that can set on other shirts they touch as they bump in the dryer. I have hung shirts on every piece of furniture in the past too...
@MicDav23
Nope, up in Canada, near Calgary Alberta.
Similar environment to Denver...
Both ways are totally different results.
Do both!
To get the defined spider, you need the thin center dark lines.... anything else is open and good...
@deglama
These are PROCION MX dyes... they are a powder with water mix...
needing Soda Ash and salt to round out the mix.
They are a very bright dye, far supperior to RIT and Dylon types.
Dharma Dyes is also another main supplier of these... but the Procion MX is the actual brand type.
You don't have to walk around the table if you make yourself a tool of some type... as long as the spin is tight, that is what matters.
@Cbazz83
Once these dyes have the soda ash mixed into them, they start to break down and are only good for about 12 hours. But I know many people who mix them without the soda ash, and leave them for a week or more in an airtight bottle. Procion MX dye only becomes permanent and "alive" when you add that soda ash.
You can use the old fully mixed dye later, but after a day, the colour is way less intense, and may not set perfectly... Fresh is best.
THANKS!!
Great choice of music! Brian Setzer ricks!
So I'm guessing you could do the same for a sheet or curtain.. Keep up the awesome work! Peace....
@TheFasock
These are PROCION MX dyes... great stuff.
Dharma Dyes are the same type...
Muito bom obrigado pela diga
@hneil13
I use Dylon, Tulip or Rit dye to do mine (and my tie dye turn out great!). I get those from Walmart, Hancock Fabric, Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Ben Franklin Crafts
@Commonvoice815
Yes, it can work out awesome.
Reverse Tie-Dye.
CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE
@4egymnast
These dyes are Procion MX dyes... you can find them for mailorder to any location (Google search). BUT, I have also wattered down fabric paints and dyed with them. Not as easy, but sometimes possible.
FaceBook site also has some ideas on where to get dyes - in the Addicted To Tie Dying group.
These dyes are PROCION MX dyes. But any dye will work with these folds and spins - even water based fabric paint watered down.
Dylon, Rit... those are pretty common, but they will not produce the same intensity of colour.
Procion MX can be mail ordered anywhere in the world should you be wanting...
Hey there Im curious ... once you've mixed your die can you store whats left in the little bottles? What would the shelf life be if you can! Thank you much for your vids there amazing!
Damp shirts (spin dry in wash).
I like to add soda ash to the rinse cycle...
I'm not sure if the Procion MX is sold where I live.
I was wondering if I could use normal Dylon dye (that's the only type that I see in the stores - both hot and cold dyes) and put them in bottles and then did the swirl effect? Would that work, or would it just be a mess?
@TheoGallagher
Yes!!
I VOTE 5 STARS FOR THE KID WHO CRAWLED IN ;O
is the tshirt dry or wet when you did this?
how do you go about drying your shirts after rinsing? i just did 100 shirts with a group of high schoolers and want a way to dry them more efficiently.
i want to make either a spider or reverse spider tie dyed long sleeve shirt...the problem is i need it the next day (making it friday....need it saturday) is it possible to just let the dye set over night and rinse/wash the following morning?
please reply asap!!! thank you!
its that must be some good paint or the sipmlest willbe fine?
Thta is just the dye mixture. The bottle lets you control the flow better.
Show de bola!!
Obrigado
im wondering if you could do the same think with an already colored shirt useing bleach?? would that work out??
oh em gee so trippy!
man this look prety coll... i'm eager to try it... just dont know what kind of paint i have to use... is it expensive?
bless you
@WolfEchoes ok....i already made the shirt and it turn out great thanx to ur video!!! (: and i'm going to make another shirt so i can try the microwave on that(: thanx a ton!!
@Cloza10
The walking around brings a far tighter spin, especially on larger material.
You will find it superior to the arm twist.
Plus you get a 360 degree view of your room... LOL
I will forever be a spinner, and possibly a fool too... matters not to me. My smile never fades.
These are PROCION MX dyes.
The best dye there is... so far.
can u use rubber bands to hold it together ? or would come out different?
cool shirt
Which shirt in particular...
@halfblood1000
The dye type is PROCION MX... best I have found yet. But any will work for the patterns...
do you wash them by hand or can you put them in them in the washing machine?
You could get a line to spiral outward, but you would not get the actual spider effect.
Best bet, use an old sheet or piece of cloth and try it out in the way you are thinking...
what kind of coolers do you use ?
i went like 5 days and still got a ton of runoff, next time should i just leave it to batch for longer, or what?
@WolfEchoes does the ink you use fade over time?
Doss the dye fully come out when its washed?
@beggysk8
Vancouver, Canada
Maiwa Handprints (they will mail order anywhere). Look online for their website.
Also Dharma Dyes in the US has an equal product.
Procion MX dyes.
Bravo
@lisaarcelo101 It really depends on the dye. Look at the box and It will usually say but I usually just do 8 to 14 hours =] if it is something very large like a blanket or something like that a few days should be good!
what are the bottles you use called? all the dye i can find at walmart or hobby lobby is the powder type and it sucks! where can i get the ones you use? awesome work!
hi could you please tell me what paintings do you use? 'cause where i live i can only find fabric painting and they're like dense...they're not watery like yours...i was wondering if you mixed those painting with water...please help me!
