Have you ever tried to dye your own clothes before? If you did, how did it go?
Did you see my last video ~ my minimalist capsule wardrobe ruclips.net/video/6joJwbH072c/видео.html
I definitely love the beige-y tone on most clothing. I love earthy tones. This turned out so well and I’m really looking forward to trying it myself 😍
A very cozy DIY! Adding salt to the bath may have helped the color absorb but I think the color turned out nicely! Natural dye tends to be super light anyway. I've enjoyed dyeing with turmeric before -gives a lovely mustard-y color.
I will definitely try that next time, thank you 😀
6:24 i wasn't prepared for that lol, where do you live, in heaven?
Useful tutorial though, i'm so doing this to my white tees now!
I seem to remember my mum using salt to fix the dye when I was a kid. It’ll be interesting to see how it survives washing. Have fun x
Salt, yess think i've seen that on one of the tutorials I watched, vinegar too. I think it'll probably fade over time but i'm happy to stain it again maybe darker next time 🤗
Yes. Salt and vinegar.
Salt, Strong Alcohol and bleach
I've dyed paper with tea, coffee, and berries actually, but haven't tried clothes, it's definitely on my list of upcoming DIY projects.
I remember doing the same for a school project to make my work look old 😂 I hope you give it a go, it's so satisfying to see it change colour 😍
Dyed some things for my wedding with coffee to match my dress. Coffee dye works!
Wow can we just appreciate your view from the window!!!!
Thanks for this, I tend to use white sheets but lately being stuck at home I'm watching Netflix in bed....and no,I'm not chilling but, but eating 🤣 and sometimes I spill curry, dips whatever I'm eating end's up on my bed sheets so I'll try this instead of throwing them away.
I'll definitely use a lotta coffee.
It turned out well! I have only dyed clothing using Rit dye. I used to wear a lot of black when I was younger and would recolor them black again when they became faded. It worked incredibly well and saved my favorite items of clothing.
That's such a good idea! I never thought about black clothes changing colour before, but I've had so many tshirts go a weird red colour from the sunshine especially in NZ and Aus and that would have saved them.
@@Livingthelifeyoulove Yep! As long as the fabric is still in good condition it's pretty easy to dye them back to black again! I had a friend in college who got a job at Walmart back in the late 90's. They didnt allow blue jeans at the time so he dyed a few of his green in the campus washing machines. That also worked well..but I REALLY hope that the next person to come along and use the washing machine didn't end up with an entire load of laundry that went green!
Did it fade after some washes?
Nice! I haven't been dying but mum did in the 70thies and my colleagues at work have been talking about it and they will do it with different fungi from the woods! The thing I have picked up in discussions with them is that you have to prepare the fibres first with Alun (that is a Swedish word don't know what the English is) so that the colour stays in the fibres even after washing. Otherwise it fades quite rapidly with multiple washings. That process of preparing the fibres (or maybe close them afterwards) calls to 'beta' the fabric in Swedish and I don't know how good that is for the nature. But I am a bit keen to start to weave with old scraps of fabrics (like old t-shirts and so on) and then try to dye the textile first and maybe do things that you don't wash so often, was thinking about doing a bag and maybe covers for cushions. Love to see more DIY 🙂
Mushrooms, so cool! I love that you can get so many different colours all from nature 😍 I've heard about Alun too and some people use vinegar to set it. I follow a girl on instagram who you might like, she dyes with plants and uses soy milk to pre-treat the fabrics. Your weave project sounds so fun too and I bet cushions would look so beautiful in earthy tones instagram.com/rebeccadesnos/?hl=en
Can I wash my dyed clothes normally after I dye them? Using soap and fabric softners?
This turned out so nice and subtle
It was a lot of fun, i'd reccomend trying it on any old rags you have or if anybody you know has old tshirts they're throwing out etc! 😀Also Turquoise it a gorgeous colour 😍
I really love the you talk with such confidence and smile.
Fabulous. Will dye some white pants for HBO Max TV Show Peacemaker costume!
The view from your apartment ¡wow! You should try turmeric, the natural yellow looks amazing
Beautiful view isn't it, I pinch myself all the time, how do I even live here 🙈😂 I'd love to try turmeric too! Onion skins look like they make a gorgeous colour too
The color is beautiful and perfect with your skin tone!
For those who like colors you can dye using sugar free kool aid. Add some vinegar to set the color. Hot water. All natural fibers.
That's funny, crazy that you can dye using kool aid 😂 Will make sure to add vinegar next time 🙌🏼
So cool! I am experimenting with natural plant dyes soon as well. I want to try spinach for green and beets for pink!
I love your voice, Gosh it's soooooooooooo sweeeeet....
I just want to ask if the color comes off if you wash it for a lot of times.
I've dyed with tumeric for a beautiful golden yellow, and made a light purple with a mix of mulberries and blueberries. You should research which type of mordant works best with each material you dye with so the color won't wash out. Most of these natural dyes shouldn't be dried in direct light--they will fade. I dried my tumeric top inside out, in full sun and it went from golden yellow to pale yellow in about an hour.
Oooh sounds amazing! I'm looking toward to dyeing with turmeric in the future too 😍 I need to have a look into mordants as you said so they last longer 😀 so happy to hear about your experiences
Hi i am planning to dye my white top into cream colour with turmeric can you please guide me with steps i am little scared as well as i want it to be cream and not yellow i dohn wanna dectroy it.
Hi Kay, what a fabulous idea. Would love to see the colour of turmeric! Think it would be. Wonderful xxx
Yesss me too! I bet it would look so vibrant and beautiful 💛
I have this super bright white tanktop and a flowy pair of pants that's a pretty light shade of beidge, gonna try this on both
I dye wool with Ciba Acid Dyes & have developed an entire palete of "old" textile colors. Great for my homespun wool
Yes! Thank you :) i am going to try this with a shirt too :)
Yay! Good luck, let me know how it goes! Are you trying coffee too?
I’ve done some tye dye at work in the woods with blaeberries and also turmeric!!! This looks lovely well done girly xxx
Ah amazing! I bet they looked so good 😍 thanks my dear xxxx
i have a white graphic t shirt that id LOVE to be like a khaki brown. if i do this, will the coffee change the other colours?
Do you think using Black Tea dye to get that same cream/beige color will work? Any thoughts? I am debating on using dye on my pure white jeans to more of a cream color like your shirt
Don't we have to boil the cofee water
How do you think you get a creme more yellow kinda of look. No one sells the color tees I need
This is the most honest Dye video I found. Others just swap their object with another ready made object!!
Hi Kay we think your T-shirt turned out really good. looks nice.❤
Hey Cathy, thank you! I was really pleased with it too 😀
Oooh Kay, it turned out really well!! I wasn’t sure how it would go. 😊
Thank you, me neither but i'm happy it worked! Want to try tea bags next time to see if I can get a deeper brown colour 😍
You could add some turmeric or do a tea dye first then a turmeric over the top to get your fav rust kind of shade? Not sure if you can do it over the top to achieve that 🤔
Hey wat happens aft we wash it with detergent?
Did you keep it for whole night?
Much nicer 😍
Yay! I was happy with how it turned out
Really cool idea!
Thanks, I was impressed by how well it worked 😀
Can I use this same DIY with polystyrene white dress
Great job! 😊💛
Thank youuuu 🤗
Yay it looks really good! Do you think it'll stay this way after washing with detergent?
I sure hope so! I think it will for a while but I imagine over time it will start to fade but honestly i'm excited to dye it again 🙈😂
Hi can I use instant coffee?
can i use instant coffee instead?
yes
Will it go after washing
Is the color gonna be permanent tho?
Looks like a lot of fun! I would definitely try it with clothes that I hadn’t spent a lot of money on.😊
Yesss it's a fun little project to do 😀
will it last long?
gonna have a go
Yay! Let me know how it goes 😀
You're so sweet and lovely! I like how it turned out, your T-shirt. I think you can control the color by choosing how strong you make the coffee, right? 🤔 Hugs 🤗
Yep, you sure can and how long you leave it in for as well as how many different soaks you do after drying it etc 😀 thanks for the kind words, was a fun little project! 💛
Good video by a very sweet young lady! Thanks
I dye jeans using dylon xx
Ooh i've never heard of that xx
Is this permanent or it can be removed
Looses brown color depending how much you wash it
I bleached my black T-shirt to brown
Oooh i've seen that done before on a tutorial, how did it go?
Living the life you love i like it and you should try it , but make sure you make it lighter so you don’t see any patches 😁👌🏻
Letting the shirt 100% dry before washing it would help
what that black coffee ?
Impressive what you can actually do with coffee and water. I’m surprised! I have to agree: the colour suits you well! :) However, do you think it will “survive” the wash? 🙈
Thanks lovely! 😀 It survived the first wash but imagine it will fade over time - if it does I will just stain it again 💃🏼🙌🏼
