getting close to watching all your videos. You have a different pro tip almost every video. thank you for making all of these videos !!! 🌈🤟
Wonderful .... hope to get back to making videos again this year ... and yes, I plan out what I am going to make and then I turn the camera on and just go for it, describing what I am doing and then saying whatever else comes to me in the moment ... I am glad it is helpful, some people do not like my rambles ✌🏻
@@MrTieDye i think it is awesome, i personally love it. it shows us that it doesn't always go right, but its okay, something more magical can happen that we didn't plan on !!
Love your. Videos they help me so much 😃
That is wonderful to hear .... Thank you and you are welcome 🙏 🤗
I sooo....love your work
Thank you 🙏
have you noticed Riah that people are spending less because of the economy? i noticed at a festival i was at afew days ago that vendors including me were disappointed in sales. i told my husband that i dont care if people dont buy taps i will just do them and hang them around the house lol next the butterfly oh yes ! one mistake i made in my first video that i told you about my first mandala. i should have had a line between the mandala and the scrunch which you showed. so the mandala where the scrunch starts does not look as good as it should.we are seniors and our place has a lot of old worn furniture so i can brighten it all up with the taps.i will be 80 years on my next birthday. Dave at custom colours says he thinks i am the oldest pro dyer in America.. so you can look fore ward of a long career in tie dye Riah. thank you again for the happiness you have brought my way!
I love your stuff. I'm wondering if after you mark your butterfly if you could just take a needle and thread and do a running stitch along your marking and then gather it up? do you think that could work?
Yes that would work great... I have a few Stiching Videos here that show my process for Stitching a tie-dye design : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqTQ-6ymm5OcVb5jlv7oplr.html
thank you so much for all of your work i could not do this without you. much much love to you brother keep!!! FMFP
you are welcome!! I am glad to be of help ~~~ Peace
🌟🌟Thank you so much for sharing your light! SHINE ON!⭐🌟⭐
You are welcome, I am gad to be of help and inspiration!! Have fun!!
Great tutorial video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful and you are welcome 🙏
Thank you for all the tips, I’ll try to do my shirts,and let you know how’ll came out.
You are welcome... have fun creating and yes let me know how it goes
wow, I actually love how that green outline turned out! I will look through the comments but how do you get the thicker dyes?
Omg I love that shirt 😍👌🦋 butterflies are my favorite
thank you
Thank you for your video! Your content on your channel looks so creative and vibrant, I love it! I am just looking for more tips on how I can make that transition from the curve to the point of the two wings and back to the other wing please because I have been struggling to do it for a while now and I just can't figure it out.
You are welcome and yes those corner can be tricky to fold around... practice and patience are the key, and here is a cross video that shows how I fold around sharp corners and how you have to twist the fabric a bit and bunch it up to get the lines to be straight .... ua-cam.com/video/_s96tfrinK8/v-deo.html
Also, you can make the center part between the two wings a bit taller.... mine is very short and it means all of the fabric has to fit into a small space once you fold all the way around the wings
I love it. beautiful. Namaste.
Thank you so much!
ESTOY TAN FELIZ DE HABERTE ENCONTRADO! ES LO QUE QUIERO HACER! I LOVE YOU! THANKS 💚💜💗💙💓❤💛
Usted es bienvenido ... Me complace poder ayudarlo a usted ya muchas personas en este hermoso Planeta en el que todos vivimos.
Thanks for the tips! I've been struggling with butterflies for a while now. Now I know I'm tying them fine but messing them up pulling the darn pocket out!! Aaaggh! I also started using kite string for the crumple backgrounds and I see why you prefer that method. Looks different compared to using rubber bands or sinew. ✌💗
you are welcome, I am glad to be of help and yes once I was shown the kite string method by Jeremy StRebel, I was hooked as well ... have fun
Love it
thank you 🙏
Love your videos , I shared your butterfly one on my Facebook page.
thank you
ive been obsessed by tie dye for the past month and leave you tube on all the time, even when i am doing chores its going and its going on fabric art like yours ........... I was wondering what is the thick dye you mentioned in outlining the butterfly? can i add guar gum to my liquid dye to the consistancy that i want to try to work with? Thanks for all the information you share with all of us .
awesome.... as for the thick black dye, here is a video on how I make it .... ua-cam.com/video/imaTXWdNJTo/v-deo.html .... I am not sure about the guar gum, I have only used the sodium alginate to thicken my dyes
I love this can't wait to try it
I hope you had fun
How large is the butterfly fly? I have one the size of notebook paper but don’t wanna be to big
I do not remember the size of the butterfly template, but I tend to measure the chest area of the tee I am putting the design on and then adjust my design size to fit in the space
I love your videos, how do you dye a minion?
the Minion was done with the stitching method : ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I'm getting ready to progress from a heart to a butterfly, and your video is so helpful. I had a question about how to make the thick purple dye? I tried outlining my heart with regular liquid dye, and it spread way too much for my liking. Thanks in advance!
you are welcome .... I have been sharing/teaching this art for about 14 years through school events and home parties... it has been great fun to share with the whole world now ..... I am glad the videos are helpful to you. Here is how I thicken my dye, but some times you have to make little adjustments to get just the right consistency ........ ua-cam.com/video/imaTXWdNJTo/v-deo.html
@@MrTieDye Can you show how to do a polka dot heart tie dye shirt with rubber bands. I wanna see how it looks and thinking to do thwt design next summer
Hi mr.tie dye,such a beautiful tee.i don't know how many times I watched your some tie dye video clips.
Actually lots of your tees are like a painting 🙂.can't believe it's hand folding dye .Really Awesome..
I am trying these days are yours guitar ,dog paw & more simple tie dyes. Every day I watching one of your video. because iam new comer to the tie dye🙂.I could learned more important techniques by your video.
Thank you so much fr it.🙏.
Normally I used fr tiedye 160-190 gsm range 100% cotton tee..is it ok?
How many GSM range do you recommend for the Sodium Alginate?.please can you explain me.
If I can take nice finishing a guitar & Dog paw ,Definitely I ll send you the pics😄.
Thanx.with blessing you.
Thank you and you are welcome, I am glad to be of help to you. I love to help other have success with this art.
as for the Urea, I do not always use it, but when I did, I measured it with a tablespoon ... I used 2 tbsp of Urea when I make 16 ounces of dye
have fun making the guitar and dog paw print .... and yes you can tag me on FB or IG to show me the photos your work... I love to see the art others make...

@@MrTieDye thank you so much spend your time to reply me I am very happy about it. ..yes difenetly. I'll tag you.
You're a master craftsman!
thank you
Truly amazing! I have been practicing with used white cotton shirts soaked in soda ash so I can get better in my folds and kite string. Have you done this? and is it me or do the used shirts not line up as well?
I dye up old and new tees and yes I have had some old tees that were stretch out so the seams did not line up right
Would this be easier to stitch
yes sometimes it is much easier to stitch, but I know a lot of people who like to see how things are folded ... so I try to show as many options as possible for people ✌🏻
Thanks! It’s awesome
you are welcome
This looks so great. I’ve done a bit of tie dye but I’m starting to really get into it. I’ve only ever used rubber bands and I feel like I’m much messier. What kind of dye do you get that lasts so long in the bottle?
thank you ..... I used to use just rubber bands or sinew for tying my tees, but 4-5 years ago I was introduced to kite string and now that is the main way I tied things up, so much easier, for me anyways, to start folding something and be able to start tying it with kite string as I am still folding parts of the tee and then to be able to tighten it up in some place just how tight I need it.... sometimes rubber bands are too tight or too loose .... I buy my kite string from Ace Hardware ..... as for dye, I buy the fiber reactive Procion dyes from dharma trading co. and they last a couple weeks in the bottle once mixed, and even longer if you have a fridge to store them in. ..... have fun on your tie dye journey and stay tuned for more videos
MrTieDye thanks so much for the tips! I’ll definitely need to upgrade my kit. Your videos are so helpful and inspiring for new projects! Definitely gonna keep watching and sharing! 👌😀
you are welcome
What type of marker do you use
I use the Crayloa Washable markers
Olá Mr , 🥰 👍🇧🇷
Hello Mr Tie Dye! ☺️ your work helps me learn so many new methods! Can you please do an elephant lesson? I would love to tie dye and elephant but need help learning how! I would appreciate it so much ❤️
thank you and yes I will add that to my list, it is a stitched design so if you want to check out the intro to stitching video to learn the technique ..... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
quarentine: starts
my shirts: oh, I'm about to change
this is a great time to start tie-dye... have fun!!
I love it
thank you
Hi Mr. Tie-dye, do you think the sewing method of tying would work instead of folding? I’ve had eye surgery that has really messed with small things like following that line.
yes it will work for most things .... here are my videos for stitching .... ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqTQ-6ymm5OcVb5jlv7oplr.html
and I use Ball point needles sz 7 and Upholstery thread for mine
Thank you, big obvious folding I do okay but small precise folding it turns into mud.
Does on 'have' to use a soda ash soak?
if you are using fiber reactive dyes, then you will need soda ash at some point before you batch them or the dye will not bond .... so you can soak and the tie, you can tie and then soak, or you can tie, dye and then squirt soda ash over the top
Nice job
thank you
What is the use of soda ash
I use Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes and the Soda ash is what activates them by raising the pH level of the cotton fibers : ua-cam.com/video/vD1MSB0sAY8/v-deo.html
"Good job it look's groovy!"
thank you
Can I do this but with bleach instead of dye? Love ur videos!
yes you can, just make sure to neutralize the bleach when you are done, here are a few videos to show how to use bleach and then how to neutralize the bleach
@@MrTieDye thank you.
thanks
You're welcome!
Do you have a place you get the template for the butterfly wing?
I do not..... I just make mine as I need them some I draw myself and some I use free clip art from the computer and trace the basic shape to get the correct proportions
I just got my procerin dyes any suggestions on making vibrant colors with them
there are many things involved..... good dyes are the first step so congrats!! next is mixing them strong enough, here is how I mix mine .... ua-cam.com/video/3Fj289T6BVg/v-deo.html ........ then a good mix on soda ash ..... ua-cam.com/video/zeI86jPen5U/v-deo.html ....... I soak my items for 20 minutes, then I spin out in the washer to remove excess soda ash, I like my tees to be slightly damp so this works great, and t is good for dyeing also, if you have too much liquid in the tee then it will dilute the dyes, after dyeing I let my items set up for 24-48 hours ..... I plan to make a video soon laying out these steps
MrTieDye thanks I have had great success so far but now people are wanting to place orders so I stepped up on the dye. Someone mention putting salt in it not sure. I started dying in the 70s now they are coming back. Keep doing your videos it really helps when someone ask for something I haven't tried. Thanks for your help
that is wonderful, always nice when people want to buy your work ..... I use salt in my dye water mix, but it is not required ... and yes I will keep on making them and I hope to get to a live stream soon as well
Why could you tried to Make A Max Tee aka Omri Katz for making. A Tie-Dyes do you have them. Now.
Wow
thank you
