This is beautiful. I think I like it better than the liquid technique. It reminds me of your pastel shirt. 🕷 I am going to try something like this. Thank you for sharing! 💙💙💙
Thanks, Shannon! I like them both. It does look similar to the other two spiders I made early on. Those were liquid though, with a ton of black. Yikes! A lot of black!! 🕷❤️🌈
I think this is great! I agree with you. It seems like you are using a lot less dye by using the plastic bottles. The colors look great! Thank you for the inspiration.
I think Lime Pop is one of my favorite colors!! I use it on so many shirts! Love this pattern. I have only used liquid dyes but now I know I will be doing some ice dyes with it as well. Love this shirt Steph!!!
Hi, Denise. ☺️ Lime Pop is a good go to color for Halloween or anything “neon” since Dharma doesn’t have actual neon dye colors. It leans more towards yellow with ice dyeing, but it’s still fantastic! I’m glad you like it! 😁❤️🌈
Fantastic! I prefer to ice dye the colors then once the ice is done i flip the shirt and using liquid dye i paint on with a foam paint brush black and add Soda ash and then batch, just my way of doing it your shirt looks great!
I really appreciate how you explain what you’re doing. I’ve seen you use these bottles before and I think they work great! I’m going to order some. I like this tarantula shirt. Have a happy Halloween 🎃
Thanks for your speedy response, I haven't had any marks not come off. I use your recommendations on washing afterwards: hot water wash, then hot water wash with kieralon and then the milsoft. I'll try washing them again. I did find those markers and I'll order those and match the color of the dyes.
You’re welcome. Gosh! I’m sorry to hear that. Are you certain they are “washable” markers? I’ve never had that happen to me before. It’s so strange. 😫❤️🌈
thanks Steph. i tried the spider using hwi. total failure. i tried to put the black back after the front. it took over the whole tee. well after watching you do the ice dye version i realize i should apply the black first. however it will still be hard to not let it not go through too much. so i will do it your way with ice.i can watch it better this way. thank you for saving me from messing around and being disheartened. i love your channel !
Cathy, you should be able to control your saturation with HWI. Stop flushing it when you see the color coming through and then flip it. I hope your ice dyed version worked out. 😊❤️🌈
Great job, Steph, I love the choice of green colors and the lime pop made it pop for sure. I like my spiders to run the other way. Folding the shirt in half and have the sleeves toward you then spiral clockwise or sleeves away from you and spiral counterclockwise. Thanks for sharing:)
Thanks, Crystal. I call the ring around the center an “avocado seed” and it either points up or down depending on which way you spiral. Doesn’t it look like a seed? Some people don’t call this a “spider” they call it a “peacock.” I always spiral clockwise, so I have to flip the shirt. Clockwise on the front and on the back, left or right, make such a difference. I need to make a tutorial with all the variables. ☺️❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo When I first started folding spiders my spider was always "upside down". No one would help me. They would say oh you'll figure it out and one day I put the sleeves toward me and bam. It worked:) And you're right it does look like a seed in the middle. Have a great night, Steph:)
@@Uniquelyyours1 Being that I’m bass ackwards with my left handedness it’s difficult to say sleeves to me or not. Does that mean back of the shirt up, front of the shirt up, sleeves to to left or to the right… it really becomes muddy. I’m going to make a tutorial dedicated to this, primarily because I really want to know!! I’ll do it in pretty colors. It will be fun. Have a wonderful night. Chat tomorrow. ☺️❤️🌈
@@Uniquelyyours1 Also, not very nice for them to say” just figure it out”… but sometimes it makes us better because we learn from trial and error. 🥸❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Hi Steph. At 1:50 the sleeves are on the right, just flip the shirt over so the sleeves are on the left then pinch a spot where you did before and spin clockwise.
Do you think batching it longer made it brighter? The center glows like a glow stick. I love this shirt! I’m really motivated to try this one. Thank you. 🌀💗🌀
I think the 48 hours versus 24 hours batching is best for all projects. Past 48 hours, no. It is like a glow stick. Do it!! Yours will turn out great! 🕷❤️🌈
I love watching your videos. They are always so inspiring. i hope to try dye something soon using your methods, maybe a tee or even bed sheet set... I wondered; have you ever tried, instead of a white shirt, using a colored tee? Ex. light blue or a bright yellow? :)
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoy watching. A bedsheet!! You’re ambitious. Let me know how it turns out. Funny you should mention colored shirts. I just received a blue & pink one from Jiffy. Great minds think alike. ❤️🌈
It's awesome!!! Thank you so much for doing this! I loved the video and the colors on the shirt are perfect. About how long did it take for the black to penetrate that far in? I can see this as a cool guys shirt anytime of the year. My brother would love it.
I’m glad you saw this!! I made it for you. 😉 I wish I had paid better attention to the time. Hours.. 2-3, it really depends on the variables, like temperature, ice cube density… I watched this with an eagle eye. Once I saw the black showing through I pulled it and did the other side. Just watch yours like I did mine. Best of luck!! I’d love to see your results. Keep in mind all of my social media links are in the description box. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 🕷❤️🌈

I suppose you could. You can put black on both sides. Batch black side up, black side down. The sky is the limit. This was my first ice dye with this pattern. I’m going to play around with it more. I usually make them for children with rainbows. 🕷❤️🌈 ruclips.net/p/PLnzbiHDLbWnXbnOp6KDPLYcRbQbI2aMPD
Steph, Love this! But since you spiral folded this shirt and added dye in the pie, why does this look like a spider versus a spiral? What’s the difference between the two? Thanks for all your videos!
Good question, Heidi! First: The reason it looks like a “spider” is because it was centered first. (folded in half) Second: A different color was added to one side (Raven Black) I have a handful of “spider” shirts. Watch a few to see if it helps make it easier to turn on the lightbulb 💡. If you have more questions don’t hesitate to ask !! 🥸❤️🌈
I really like this way of dying. Getting ready to try it. One question. Why do you use different sizes of ice? Do it matter what size, or does the size achieve a different result? Thanks again - dye on!
You’ll have fun ice dyeing! Smaller ice melts quicker and has more of a flush. Dense cubes melt slower and more color splits happen. I think anyway. With the black I wanted to have more control. I didn’t want it to completely saturate the entire shirt. All that being said,,, I really don’t know 100%. I haven’t done any scientific study. I should do a side by side. I think we would all learn a lot! Try different ice and report back. 😉❤️🌈
I started with a Jacquard tie dye kit from the craft store. I’ve been meaning to make a tutorial… I think their kit is better than Tulip brand, but Tulip works too. Jacquard colors are more vibrant and closer to “real” dye. A kit is a great place to start. Make a couple shirts and see if you enjoy making tie dye. If you do, I recommend getting “real” procion dye and soda ash from a dye company. The kits in the long run cost way more and you’re limited on colors. I use Dharma Trading Company, but there are other companies that I’m not familiar with. Hope this helps. 😁❤️🌈
Oh me I love this combination. Steph may I ask if you know roughly how much powdered dye you use in a large or ex large tshirt and if it's close to the same if you liquify the same powder and use the liquid form?
It takes 2tsp to 8tsp of powder to mix liquid, depending on the * on the container. I use less than that when ice dyeing. Using the bottles mixed with soda ash uses even less dye. Now all that being said… you might be able to make several shirts with liquid. It’s like comparing apples and oranges, they’re both fruit with different flavors. Liquid creates one result and ice dyeing another. ❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo thank you so much for your reply. I'm just starting out and was wondering if the powder or liquid would cover more fabric for practicing. I figure I'll burn thru some learning 😁
I just made two of these t-shirts and they turned out great except the washable marker didn't come out which was pink to these colors. I bought Crayon washable markers, do you recommend any other kind?
Yay, I’m glad they turned out for you! I’d love to see them. You can share to my Facebook group. The link is in the tutorials. I use professional textile detergent, do you, I haven’t had any issue with the pens not washing out. That’s a huge bummer!! Try washing again maybe… see next comment. ❤️🌈
Hi, Allison. You could be, or not enough ice. It’s hard to say. The most important thing is batch time. The dye needs to have time to adhere to the fibers in the fabric. Are you batching for at least 24 hours at 70° or higher? Using soda soaked shirts? When I do the “two minute” microwave method I have a ton of dye being wasted down the drain. ❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo I soak my shirts for at least 30 minutes in SA and then spin them almost dry. By the time I've folded the shirt, it's totally dry. I thought I was using enough ice but maybe I need to go back and add another layer. I'm trying to learn to be more conservative with the amount of dye I use but I guess I need to be more focused on how much I'm using. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!
@@allisonbzdafka8301 Ok, it’s not the soda ash. If I see a lot of undissolved dye I’ll hit it with a second layer of ice. If you find you’re needed more ice a lot then you probably are adding too much dye. Start going lighter. You can always add more dye if you need to. ❤️🌈
i am half way doing the tarantula. black is just right as you show then i turn it over. is it not too wet to apply green colors? i was always told shirt should be dry before adding dye powder? and soda ash?tia Steph
@@BelladonnaDyesCo thank you for the tip about ice dying dying on damp. thanks for taking time to help really good to know rules can be broken.the time waiting for shirts to dry used to stress me out lol
Not yet, John. My closets are bursting! I have an Etsy and I’m slowly adding items. I’m a one woman show, plus a full time front line worker, so it’s slow going. In the description box I have all my links listed so it’s easy for you to check out my social media stuff. Thanks for your interest!! ☺️❤️🌈
I noticed in this video you use 1/4 cup soda ash to 6 tsp dye and in the HWI video you use 1/4 soda ash to 2 tsp dye. Is the difference because one is ice and one is hot water irrigation? Want to make sure I'm using the right measurements for each. Thanks.
Only the Raven Black has the different ratio. The greens are the 2 tsp ratio from the thermal hoodie tutorial. ❤️🌈 ruclips.net/video/YSfe5ydNvPk/видео.html
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Ok thanks going to try this method. I waste so much powder dye because I havent quite gotten the tapping down yet so I think this will be easier and not so wasteful.
@@sharylmcdonald7003 I love these bottles, especially if I’m making multiples of something using the same colors. If you get them let me know what you think. ❤️🌈
I’ve never heard about ice dying until a few weeks ago, what are the benefits of this because it seems like you use a lot more dye and the process is a little harder
You’ll love ice dyeing once you do it. The main benefit for me, is not having to mix liquid dye. Liquid dye creates solid colors and definite lines. Ice dyeing is more relaxed and gives color splits. (“splits” = all of the base colors show up with ice) It seems like more dye is used with ice dyes, but I think it’s apple and oranges, I pour out a lot of unused liquid dye once it’s expired. I specifically talk about saving on dye in this tutorial by using the bottles. If this is your first view it might be a bit confusing. I’m super frugal and I wouldn’t waste money or dye if I can help it. ❤️🌈 Check this out. ruclips.net/video/xuI3Dvq19Fg/видео.html

I use Crazy Art brand mostly, they are the inexpensive ones. I found them at Walmart but most stores carry them. I also have used Crayola brand and haven’t had issue. I use the yellow and green the most. Orange & pink. I haven’t really thought about it, but possibly, subconsciously I match my pen to the dye colors and they don’t show up. 🤔 Now I’m going to have to pay attention.

@@BelladonnaDyesCo there was not I was just using the same spoon to lay down dye and I usually use a dry cloth to wipe it off. The dye built up and I had to use a damp one to clean it. I thought I dried it...I did not. .but there was no soda ash in sight so that gives me hope!

I’m somewhat surprised at how well this turned out because it’s ice dyed. I love it! Great colors. It glows! 💜
I was surprised too. It does glow!! 💚❤️🌈
This turned out beautiful. Ice dye spiders require more attention than liquid dye but the end results are worth it. Good job Steph. ✌🏻
Yes, this was more labor intensive than a liquid spider. However, mixing dye is WAY more involved. Thanks!! 💚🕷❤️🌈
Thank you for sharing the recipe for the dye with soda ash!!!
You’re welcome, Denise!! That’s for the black dyes,,, the colors are 1/4 cup of SA to 2 tsp of dye. I realize I wasn’t quite clear. 😉❤️🌈

How??? I was thinking about an ice dye spider last night!
Great minds think alike!! 😉❤️🌈
One thing I've noticed that when I rinse my shirts, I get a lot of dye runoff. When you rinse, the water is almost clear. Am I using too much dye?
Hi, Allison. You could be, or not enough ice. It’s hard to say. The most important thing is batch time. The dye needs to have time to adhere to the fibers in the fabric. Are you batching for at least 24 hours at 70° or higher? Using soda soaked shirts? When I do the “two minute” microwave method I have a ton of dye being wasted down the drain. ❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo I soak my shirts for at least 30 minutes in SA and then spin them almost dry. By the time I've folded the shirt, it's totally dry. I thought I was using enough ice but maybe I need to go back and add another layer. I'm trying to learn to be more conservative with the amount of dye I use but I guess I need to be more focused on how much I'm using. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!
@@allisonbzdafka8301 Ok, it’s not the soda ash. If I see a lot of undissolved dye I’ll hit it with a second layer of ice. If you find you’re needed more ice a lot then you probably are adding too much dye. Start going lighter. You can always add more dye if you need to. ❤️🌈
i am half way doing the tarantula. black is just right as you show then i turn it over. is it not too wet to apply green colors? i was always told shirt should be dry before adding dye powder? and soda ash?tia Steph
I dye damp always. It will be wet from the moisture from the black. Flip it and keep going. Add your dye, ice and soda ash. ❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo thank you for the tip about ice dying dying on damp. thanks for taking time to help really good to know rules can be broken.the time waiting for shirts to dry used to stress me out lol
Do you ever sell any of theses ?
Not yet, John. My closets are bursting! I have an Etsy and I’m slowly adding items. I’m a one woman show, plus a full time front line worker, so it’s slow going. In the description box I have all my links listed so it’s easy for you to check out my social media stuff. Thanks for your interest!! ☺️❤️🌈
Can I do this shirt without the Ice?
You can liquid dye it if you want. I have other spider shirts. ❤️🌈
TY
I noticed in this video you use 1/4 cup soda ash to 6 tsp dye and in the HWI video you use 1/4 soda ash to 2 tsp dye. Is the difference because one is ice and one is hot water irrigation? Want to make sure I'm using the right measurements for each. Thanks.
Only the Raven Black has the different ratio. The greens are the 2 tsp ratio from the thermal hoodie tutorial. ❤️🌈 ruclips.net/video/YSfe5ydNvPk/видео.html
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Ok thanks going to try this method. I waste so much powder dye because I havent quite gotten the tapping down yet so I think this will be easier and not so wasteful.
@@sharylmcdonald7003 I love these bottles, especially if I’m making multiples of something using the same colors. If you get them let me know what you think. ❤️🌈
I’ve never heard about ice dying until a few weeks ago, what are the benefits of this because it seems like you use a lot more dye and the process is a little harder
You’ll love ice dyeing once you do it. The main benefit for me, is not having to mix liquid dye. Liquid dye creates solid colors and definite lines. Ice dyeing is more relaxed and gives color splits. (“splits” = all of the base colors show up with ice) It seems like more dye is used with ice dyes, but I think it’s apple and oranges, I pour out a lot of unused liquid dye once it’s expired. I specifically talk about saving on dye in this tutorial by using the bottles. If this is your first view it might be a bit confusing. I’m super frugal and I wouldn’t waste money or dye if I can help it. ❤️🌈 Check this out. ruclips.net/video/xuI3Dvq19Fg/видео.html

There’s something about ice dye that you don’t get with liquid dye
I agree 💯! There is a time and place for liquid but I think ice is prettier to look at. ♥️🌈

I told you the wrong kind of markers Crayola, not crayon.
I use Crazy Art brand mostly, they are the inexpensive ones. I found them at Walmart but most stores carry them. I also have used Crayola brand and haven’t had issue. I use the yellow and green the most. Orange & pink. I haven’t really thought about it, but possibly, subconsciously I match my pen to the dye colors and they don’t show up. 🤔 Now I’m going to have to pay attention. Try washing your project again and see if you can get it out. ❤️🌈 www.dharmatrading.com/chemicals/Kieralon-Dyers-Detergent.html?lnav=chemicals.html
Dangit and I thought my moisture tainted sea green could be salvaged😪
You could try it. Was there soda ash in it?? If not it could be salvageable maybe? 🤷♀️❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo there was not I was just using the same spoon to lay down dye and I usually use a dry cloth to wipe it off. The dye built up and I had to use a damp one to clean it. I thought I dried it...I did not. .but there was no soda ash in sight so that gives me hope!
I like to joined you

If you bend those fork tines enough, they'll break off completely. Especially if you buy cheap pot-metal forks from a charity shop.
This is very true. Next time I see him I should ask him to do that. ☺️❤️🌈
