  • This is a tutorial showing how to ombre dye/dip dye a shirt, with a single color of dye.
    Cotton is the best material for this project. The shirt shown in this video was 95% rayon, 5% spandex - as you can see it will still work, but the color won't be as intense as it would've been with cotton.
    For the dye, I used RIT concentrated powder dye in navy blue. You can find it here: amzn.to/2NbZJam (affiliate)

    I dyed a hoodie in Denim Blue Rit dye following your instructions and it turned out beautiful!
    Here are some tips:
    1) If you’re using powdered dye, mix it thoroughly! I didn’t and got red dots. Thankfully they washed away when rinsing.
    2) Rinsing takes up more water and effort than you think. The instructions said to start rinsing with hot water and then gradually use cooler water as the water ran clearer - but the water never ran clear. Rinsed the hoodie at least ten times but it was still giving blue water lol. Maybe I used too much dye. (Btw didn’t wait for 24 hours before rinsing.)
    3) When pulling the clothing up and down, be careful so it doesn’t splash. I got blotches because of my splashing geh
    4) You won’t regret it!!!! Bought a brand new hoodie just for this and it came out great :)

    • @22bears
      @22bears 2 года назад +1

      hey there! maybe it didn't ran clear bc u skipped the 24 hours leaving the hoodie sit and then rinse? or is it always like that, it'll keep losing color?

  • @essyjae
    @essyjae  7 лет назад +2

    • @essyjae
      @essyjae  7 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for watching! Ironing it should be fine, if anything the heat should actually help set the dye. The only concern I'd see with ironing it would be if you're using a fabric that doesn't take ironing well, but if it's cotton it'll be just fine. :)

      It’s definitely not as intense and vibrant as it was, but the color is still there - I think it’s mostly due to the material though. If the shirt had been 100% cotton, I think it would still be much more vibrant.
