You need to make sure the shirt you're dying is 100 or at least 90% cotton and don't feel you need blank white, pale grey works fine and I think shirts with prints and/or lettering look even better tie dyed. Vinegar and salt is a very effective fixative especially if you're not dying enough to use up a whole bottle of store bought fixative. Also put some thought into colours and try to avoid letting colours that will turn into brown touch, in general less colours is better. If you want the colours to run through the shirt and fill the white space, just put it in diluted fixative for only 10 minutes then machine wash by itself then straight into tumble dryer, this will fade the dark parts but fill in the shirt with colour while still maintaining your pattern.
You can add even more texture and design to the shibori design by wrapping and binding it with string, dental floss or artificial sinew (a waxy sort of stranded string that you can find in the leather arts area of your craft store, or from a leathercraft shop like Tandy, etc.). Each of these will yield a different result depending on how snugly you pull the wrap. Sinew can be pulled very tightly and it will resist the dye because of its waxy texture... it's also a good material for tying other folds to make for really good definition. Dental floss and kite string work, too, but it's harder to pull them as tight as sinew... which is okay if you are going for a softer tie and a little more color blending. I used dental floss on my arashi shirt and it worked out fine. DO NOTE... on the shibori, if you cinch it tightly enough AND if there is a fairly thick hem on your shirt, you might be able to create a stripe where the dye doesn't completely penetrate. This is called "resist", and it's a characteristic that you can use to create designs within designs. Or, it can be a screw-up if you don't account for it! My shirt picked up a resist-stripe from the hemline because I didn't think about it when I was wrapping my shirt. Nonetheless, it made a very nice, subtle light stripe across my arashi design, and it looks amazing. Just be aware that this can happen, and decide whether you want to include it or not.
I tried tie dye for the first time yesterday after watching these tips, and they turned out great. Thank you! I did one spiral and one kind of a version of the crumple. I'm going to have to do this again! (next time I'll remember the gloves though - teal fingers now haha)
@@AskariBadshah I got mine at Michael's, but don't recall the name of the colors. There were several sets available there, and I think they have individual colors as well if I remember correctly.
Colors are super faded. It is recommended to let the dye soak for a full 24 hours to allow the dye to fully adhere. My tie dye comes out with more vibrant colors when I let it soak for at least 24 hours.
Also that’s a lot of white, if that’s the look you’re going for than great but if you want more color you need to apply the dye between the creases and crevices of it. And he didn’t apply that much......
I sell tie dye....these are definitely not the best methods 1. Whatever you’re dying should be DAMP (not wet) before tying it. This makes for using less dye, and the water will disperse the dye farther into the fabric so there’s a lot less white when you untie it. Before dying I soak the fabric in soda ash, and after dying as well. I find this works the best for the longevity of the color to stay in the clothing. 2. It needs to sit for 24 hours, 6-8 is the minimum, don’t rush it....you’re going to end up with less vibrancy in the colors & the dye won’t stay in the fabric very long before it becomes very faded. 3. Wash after dying with COLD water and minimal detergent, like with colored hair hot water washes out dye. 4. Put the squeeze bottle’s tip in between the folds of the fabric and squeeze...again, makes for a lot less white in the fabric
Well, my mom was doing that 20 years ago, even 30. Now that fashion is slowly back because I see this type of t-shirts everywhere. Even I was doing this 10 years ago as a kid XD
1.. Turn your t shirts inside out for best results (soda ash soak your shirts as well) 2.let your dye sit for minimum of 24-48 hours for more vibrant colors.. 3. Could have used a lot more dye on all of those shirts..
This is the best video I’ve seen so far. Clear instructions and comprehensive step by step. The only thing missing was: should I wet them before or not and do they need to be 100% cotton?
Clean vid. Gonna try to rejuvenate my old white T now
Nice! Keep us updated on the results.
Asshole
@@kavinkumar aren't we all?
@@user-wh4jc3wc4d yeah
What’ did he put with da warm water at the last
this video seems to be 10 minutes long, but it’s only 4:50
Are u the sister of Shawn MeNdeS ?! 😂😅
Wdym by that?
Tie dye is back in fashion just recently. Which is great thanks for sharing from New Zealand
Using the dowel is a great idea it's a lot easier to do the spiral pattern I'm definitely going to have to use that
You need to make sure the shirt you're dying is 100 or at least 90% cotton and don't feel you need blank white, pale grey works fine and I think shirts with prints and/or lettering look even better tie dyed.

May I ask how much vinegar and Salt exactly need to be used? Im using a Small bottle but I don't know how much
Great introduction tutorial, thanks, makes it look easy and fun.
Thanks for this. Been wanting to try this. I love my Tie-dye shirts!
Gloves are important, my hands are purple and black now 😂
does anyone knows if the liquid in the bottles will still dye if it gets cold ? (like if I want to save for the future)
Cole Parsley 😂😂😂😂
YO NO FUI yes
@@yonofuiprod I usually just dye with cold because I'm lazy, if you're dyeing 100% cotton it works fine might need heat if its a less receptive fabric
Mine was blue and pink and green

Quick, easy to follow, no ranting no HEY WHATS UP GUYS, clean and overall great video, thanks a lot!

We did tie dye at a yearly day camp called Happening Day Camp. Looked forward to it every year. A lot of fun!
best tie dye video

Can u tell me what is the colors name? And where i can but it

This was very helpful

Carolyn Keffer I don’t think they diluted theirs right either on top of not sitting long enough
Also that’s a lot of white, if that’s the look you’re going for than great but if you want more color you need to apply the dye between the creases and crevices of it. And he didn’t apply that much......
I never get dark colors with bottles . Ice dye is my preferred method but it’s hard to aim colors
@@vybinout6143 can you teach me how make the ice dye? My color it's faded too
I think about the textile composition 💯 cotton! And use the correcto ink and adhered base
Yoo I’ve never seen the shibori technique it’s DOPE!
Love the quality of this video 😍🔥🔥
The white t shirts have come in and I'm ready
Thanks for the tips this is the best one yet
i like the shibori!!!!😍😍😍

edited one year after: i take it back die dye is back in fashion
hollie c literally thinking this . There is way better tie dye tutorials from like 5 years ago
@Zsavage1 I'm sure the fish tank are for filming purposes only, you can use your sink or a 5 gallon bucket. gallon size freezer bags are very common
@Zsavage1 I guess I'm not good with sarcasm either LOL, and I still think a gallon size bag would be a good size to use
Tiedye is always in style
Do you not know sean wotherspoon smh

I like the result so much ..how a brilliant ideas???!!
Good work mate
Thank you so much for walking us through it!
4:20 am and i'm watching this. 🤪
Is anyone else interested in this guys tattoo's 😩 from what I can see they look amazing ‼️
Great video, but why not soak the shirts in soda ash? The color would’ve came out better
We used special salt from the same brand as the dyes. Next time we’ll probably look into soda ash instead.
Highsnobiety right on 🤙🏼
Mathew O'Donnell first basically. I soak all the white shirts for at least twenty minutes. Ring out the excess water, then continue on to dyeing.
Yo is baking soda and soda ash the same thing?
Baking soda is sodium carbonate and soda ash is sodium bicarbonate. You can use baking soda but you have to bake it first
Thanks you make it look easy I appreciate it.
Fianlly someone that said: this is what you need!!!
Well, my mom was doing that 20 years ago, even 30. Now that fashion is slowly back because I see this type of t-shirts everywhere. Even I was doing this 10 years ago as a kid XD

1.. Turn your t shirts inside out for best results (soda ash soak your shirts as well)
2.let your dye sit for minimum of 24-48 hours for more vibrant colors..
3. Could have used a lot more dye on all of those shirts..
Isint powder dye better also or is that only for ice dyeing ?
This is the best video I’ve seen so far. Clear instructions and comprehensive step by step. The only thing missing was: should I wet them before or not and do they need to be 100% cotton?
Def trying this thank you great video
Thank you
Mate those are some sick tattoos
Who's here bbecause of quarantine?

I agree
Give us a fashion show.
I’m just wondering how that table is still clean
