I've done a lot of fabric dying over the years, but I continue to learn more each time I go back to it ...new techniques just continue to evolve . THanks for some new ideas!
✨🫧✨Thank you So much for this fantastic video and for sharing your talents. I know you worked hard perfecting this! I’m loving these 🫧🫧🫧So much!!!! And 🎉 on being the featured artist!!! 😊
@@dsuprstar3 Thank you! I actually do not. You could try if you want to but I’ve found that when you allow them to dry out it keeps the outline of the bubbles from getting blurry.
@@glendahopp I don’t know the exact chemistry behind it but from my experiments, it seems to thicken the dye while also making the bubbles stronger and stretchier. You can of course try without and add some more of each of the other ingredients and see how that goes though.
@@AreEff1987 These have considerably less splatter than the first ones I experimented with 😅 It helped to make the liquid thicker but when the bubbles pop some splatter is inevitable.
Hi! Unfortunately I don’t think so if they are plastic because these dyes are made to be used with natural fibers. You might be able to use acrylic paint instead- just not sure how it would react being mixed with the bubble solution. I have tried blowing bubbles onto paper and that worked better than expected but you may want to buy some spray sealant if you try something like that. :)
@@juletones2020 Thank you for responding in a timel manner. I like the colors you put together. I would like to use baby pink, turquoise, blue, violet purple. What colors do I use to mix that or do I just get them all? Also if I use the bubble 🫧 dyes as you have here will that work on the paper envelope just use the sealant afterwards?
@@TianaJones-nf1uq Of course! Those colors sound nice together. Mixing colors can be kind of tricky so personally I’d order them if you wanted to make sure the colors come out how you envisioned. If you don’t mind a little unpredictability you could probably order 2 or 3 colors and mix them in varying amounts. I think it would be fine if you used the sealant but still of course would make sure they don’t get wet or moisture near them.
Seems to me (though I'm guessing here) that one could just start with Dawn dish soap (which makes the best bubble solution) and forgo the thickeners. I'll give it a shot.
@@EricAlder I did try that to start out…worked okay but had much better results when I used the thickeners. You can of course experiment yourself though 🙂
You have circles on your shirts. I mostly have blobs/strings except on the paper protecting my surface, where there are perfect circles. Maybe I should let my soaked shirts dry? frustrating!
Ahh I feel your frustration that’s how my first few attempts went. Funny how it’s surprisingly easy to do on paper. I tried a dry shirt in the beginning but I didn’t work at all (I know it seems counterintuitive) but pretty wet worked best. When I had the same issue it ended up being because my dye solution wasn’t thick enough. Did you add the thickening ingredients? If you did try adding a little more of each.

So much work you put into perfecting this process, it's very generous of you to share and even assist so freely in the comments.

Love this technique. Congrads on being Featured Artist on Dharma Trading this month!
Came here to find you from your photo tshirt short!! Subscribed and excited to see more!❤

This looks awesome. I wonder if you would slide a pool noodle through the arm holes you could get more of the design on the shoulders.
Thank you!! & That’s such a good idea 👀 might give that a try on my next round.
SO doing this!!! Thanks.
Of course!! Have fun 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. Can children disconnect themselves?
very kool! did you cover the tshirts after making the bubbles for the dye to react?, like in a regular tyedye process
@@dsuprstar3 Thank you! I actually do not. You could try if you want to but I’ve found that when you allow them to dry out it keeps the outline of the bubbles from getting blurry.
This is definitely the next activity I do with my granddaughter! One question: what does the Karo syrup do for the recipe and can it be eliminated?
non-toxic thickner

How much bubble solution is in each of those little bottles? Looks like 8 oz or less?
Also, thanks for the tutorial! The technique looks super cool
Thank you! :) They’re 4oz bottles.
I wonder if there's a way to keep the splatter more controlled where it doesn't make it look so messy

Hi Will this work on plastic bubble wrap envelopes without the dye bleeding

@juletones2020 thanks for the info. You likely saved me some poor results.
@@EricAlder No problem! Good luck 😊
