As a tie-dye beginner, I really appreciate how thoroughly you explain and show the process of making these cool designs, as well as what products you use and why. This shirt is rad, thanks for sharing it!
I’ve been tie dying about a year now. And without Mr. Tie dye I would not be anywhere near as good as I am today. Not that I’m amazing or anything. But he is very helpful
Long time viewer just popping in to leave a comment saying thanks again. I often go back and see some of your stuff I have seen before and am still in awe! Thanks for all the knowledge!
Wow, thank you ... I love to help other have success with this art as I could find no one when I was learning 21 years ago .... Be the Change you wish to see in the World
We (my family) are going to have a tie dye party, can't wait to wow them with my folding skills 🙃 I am definitely going to prefold a few pieces of clothing. Love the rainbow on black.
Thank you... yeah I wanted to have a one tee version of this and I think it allows for more intentional patterning by how you pour the OWB and the hot water and then where you add the dyes... LOVE the possibilities... thank you!
I have always been intimidated by tye dying, but I fricking love it. Your videos are giving me such great clear information, that I'm ready to try it hopefully next weekend! Thanks for being awesome!
Yeah it can be a bit tricky to get started and have success ... so that is why I make these videos... I want everyone who want to do tie-dye to have the option to do it and have fun and success with it ... have fun exploring and creating!! ✌🏻🙏🥳❤️🙌
Hello, I just want to say thanks so much for this video. I tried it w/a black shirt and a navy shirt and they both look good. I like how it is a pretty simple design - for people who like that versus something more complex. It also does not use a lot of dye. The White Bright works better than bleach. I also put the shirt on a grill but just held the grill so I could direct the flow of water.
you are welcome.... I am glad to be of help to you and yes I love to do simple things as well as complex folds.... everyone likes something a little different and this art is great as there is so much you can do with tie-dye... sounds like your project t worked out perfectly!!
I like the part where you make Rainbow Flame Star T-Shirt of Black tie dye Handprinted Sculpture. Thank you for the Video that you just made for Everybody. 🤠
Thank you and yes, for the tee I am wearing, I took an already tie-dyed tee, soaked it in soda ash ( I used a separate basin as some of the old dye leach out while soaking, the soda ash is still good, just discolored) then I tied up a RonStar Design on the tee and then I dyed it black ... so then the colors from the original tie-dye show through in the lines of the Ronstar Design ... here is the Over Dye video : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html ✌🏻
Im so glad your back in action!! Thank you!! I cant help but to wonder what that tie would look like if the dye lay was a diagonal dna lay. Lovin you and this style.
well you are in luck, when I first started playing with this design, I did dye one in DNA style .... here is a pic of the happy customer wearing it : facebook.com/photo?fbid=10225455427042124&set=pcb.497834718005728
Awesome... have fun and one place I like to visit when I want to dye something new for myself is second hand stores and then I just look for the white or light colored stuff and check the cotton content
thank you and the tee I am wearing in this video is a re dye or over dye.... I started with a tie-dye tee, tied it with sinew, soaked in soda sh and then dyed it in black ... the bright colors show though where they were covered with sinew : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
I love your videos and have learned so much. How did you make the shirt you're wearing? Is there a video for it? Ive searched and been unable to find it.
Thank you and you are welcome.... as for the tee I am wearing, the design is a RonStar : ua-cam.com/video/uxnyTyaMssM/v-deo.html BUT.... instead of starting with a white tee, I used an old tie-dyed tee... I soaked it in soda ash first, (I used a separate basin as some dye does leach out, so I pour in just enough for the one tee) .... after tying the tee up with sinew, I dyed it all black... the sinew blocks the dye from reaching part of the tee, but instead of having white lines, I have colored lines ... I call it an Over Dye : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html and just in case you need help with the sinew, here is a video to show how I use it and kite string : ua-cam.com/video/nRKtNBZB5Qo/v-deo.html and here is a video where I explain a bit of how I use the sinew and the sinew dowel : ua-cam.com/video/NsHsoLFh7-0/v-deo.html ~. in this video I tie the Ronstar on a white tee ✌🏻
I am not sure if it would do the front and the back like I did with the tee due to the thickness of the sweatshirt... but it would at least do the front of the sweatshirt if you fold with the front side on the outside ... but hard to say until it is tried ... have fun and I wish you success ✌️
Thank you and you are welcome. As for the tee I am wearing, I call it an 'Over Dye' ... I started with a tie-dyed tee, then I tied up a RonStar Design and tied tightly with sinew, then I dye the tee with black... the place where the sinew is blocks the dye so the original color of the tie-dye tee shines through ... here is a video for it : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
Nice to see you back creating new designs for us to try. What purple do you use that don't bleed out? I turned deep purple and it seems to have a blue halo around it. Thanks.
that part does take practice... how did your pleating go, were the pleats even?? and when you say the tying did not work, did you tie it tight enough so you can pick the tee up and move it around without the folds coming out?? do you have any photos of your results or process anywhere... like FB or IG that I could go look at??
I use Procion Dyes and buy most of mine from Dharma ... but there are many places in the US to buy them from, here are the main places dyers buy from : CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ CO : CO Wholesale Dye Corp. : www.bulkdye.com NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/ MO : Dyespin : www.dyespin.com as for purple, I use Plum mostly, but have been playing with Deep Purple as well
I have not use Rit dyes before, but as far as I know, the soda ash will not help them.... with the Procion Dyes that I use, the soda ash sets up a chemical reaction between the dye and the cotton fibers causing them to bond ... I am not sure of the process for Rit, but it is different
I'm pretty new to tie dye and had been wanting to try a reverse dye with owb so tried after watching this video... I used a 100% cotton black tee, did my best pleating to date & tied it up crazy tight. I poured the owb powder on and slowly poured boiling water over, saw no change. Put more on, reheated water, tried again. Swished it around, added more, put boiling water in spray bottle & tried that, thinking the water was just washing it away too fast... Left it sit overnight for about 8 hrs... It literally took no color out. I rinsed it, found it had no change, untied it even to rinse better, (which was upsetting because I'd wanted to keep it pleated to dye), but nothing. Any tips? I was excited to try this and have seen so many people have success, not sure what i could've done wrong! Thanks for any advice! Love your videos, btw, very thorough; i just found your channel last night. 🫀
That happens every now and then... some Brands of tees do not work with OWB ... But, sometimes when OWB does not work on a tee, then Bleach will work .... so for this tee, maybe try bleach ... but otherwise, if you want to work with OWB, I would try a different brand of cotton tee ... I use Port & Company mostly, but I have also used Gildan with good results .... but in the past, I had a random tee I found some place and had the same type experience ... OWB did not remove any color, but Bleach did (just remember if you use Bleach, you must also Neutralize the Bleach once you get the desired color) ... I show how I neutralize in each of my 3 Bleach videos ... just in case you did not see it, I have a whole playlist for Discharging where I demo OWB, Rit Color Remover, Bleach and Decolourant : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqUum7wx4njWkcy_HI10P-o.html
Thank you so much for your help! This was some weird off brand I just found; I've been using mostly used/trash picked tees since I'm just learning but I have a ton of them so I'll be trying again. If this happens again, I'm not going to untie it & just bleach it after a rinse & hope it doesn't interact in some crazy disastrous way. 😆
I mostly use Gildan or Port & Company .. but the main thing is to get 100% cotton ... the brand is not as important as the cotton content... so find the style, cut, softness or whatever is important, but 100% cotton, or close to it and you are good also, when doing reverse dyeing, or discharging, some brands work better than others, but until you try one, you will not know how well it works... this is because it depends on how the black or whatever color tee you have was originally dyed as to how it will discharge ... so the first two brands I mentioned work well
Crazy work there!! But how does your item not come undone in the spin cycle? Also, not being in US, OWB is hard to come by so i hv bleach to work with. I assume it would work the same?
Thank you and I just make sure I have the tee tied tightly and then I lay it flat against the drum of the washer and normally have at least one other tee to balance the load as it spins as for Bleach ... you may get some similar results, but I prefer the OWB as it goes to an almost light tan color, but when I use bleach, it is more of an orangy color... and you will need to rinse and then neutralize the bleach after you are done ... you did not say where you were from, but I saw a note from a dyer in the UK, here are the alternatives to OWB : HG Whiter than White Dr Beckman Colour Run Remover and here is another post I saw a post about someone who used 'Heitmann Decolorant' from Germany .... great color removal from what I could see I hope you have fun and success with your project ✌🏻
I am from Sri Lanka....Thanks for the tips man and love the way you presenting it .If you have time can you please tell me how to reduce the decreasing of the colourfulness of the tie dye t shirt when washing sometimes paint got fade after the washing how could I reduce this and I made a t shirt by the aid of your video and it becomes marvellous and thank you for you help.finally stay safe with blessing of the Buddha and god bless you.
Hello and welcome to my channel, I am glad to be of help to you .... here isa video I made that gives some tips on how to improve the colors of your tie-dyes : ua-cam.com/video/vXFh3CIMJGc/v-deo.html Some comes down to what kind of dyes you are using.... how strong you mix them, how long you let them batch for the dye to bond ... I hope this video helps
So I bought a black gildan sweatshirt which I assumed it was 100% cotton. It may actually be a cotton and polyester blend. I don’t see any color being taken out. Is this because it is blended with polyester?
I have had a couple tees that were off brands that OWB did not remove color from... and yeah I think having poly in them does not help ... one thing you could try is Bleach ... I had one tee that bleached out great and when I found anohter one recently, I tried OWB and no color came out at all.... SO ... Bleach and OWB work differently... so if one does not work, I wash it and then I try the other... just make sure to neutralize if you go with bleach ... I showed how I neutralize bleach in all 3 of my bleach videos ✌🏻 other than that, I try out a tee before I buy a lot of them to make sure this process will work.... BUT, you Never know until you try and even if they look the same, it really depends on how they were dyed as to how they will discharge or not ✌🏻
When you say you spin the shirt out, you're running the shirt, folded and tied, through a washing machine spin cycle? Or maybe one of those Panda spinners, which is basically the same thing, correct?
Yes, I put the tee in the washer and run just the spin cycle, I usually put at least two in so it is balanced .... and yes, many people use one of those panda spinners ... I like to fold and dye a tee when it is barely damp most of the time and the spin cycle works great for this
I use fiber Reactive Procion Dyes and buy them from Dharma, but here are other places in the US to buy them from : CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/ Also, just in case it is needed, here is my Beginner's Playlist to get you started : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo.html
Hello I know this video was made a while back but I'm new at this and I hope you see this. I just but the OWB. I have been using bleach to do scrunch method on black tees. I normally just spray the bleach after I have scrunched it and let it sit till it's light. But lots of times I get holes or ugly splotches. My question is how can I achieve a scrunch method on a black shirt using the OWB? Does it have to be hot? If I pour it all over won't the color come out most of the shirt? Also what do you precast shirts with? Sorry I'm so lost. Lol but I ruin alot of shirts with bleach. Help
Yeah I have used bleach and know about getting holes... no fun there. I love the OUT and the Rit Color Remover the most as they remove more color and do not need to be neutralized like the bleach does. But yes I know what you mean about the OUT... I will be doing more videos using the OUT and working on designs like the scrunch, so stay tuned for that.... but the way I have had some success with it is by pouring a little water at a time instead of filling the tub up and letting it soak ...... and tying the tees tighter to 'block' out some of the OUT And I am not sure what you mean by 'precast' but I just do a prewash on the black tees, and then after they spin out, I fold them while they are barely damp and then do the OUT while still damp. here is my Black tees playlist where I show all of the discharging methods I have tried : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo.html I hope this helps
yes it is... there is no need to neutralize as it does not have the same type reaction as the bleach does, so it will not 'eat' away at the fibers ... and neither does the Rit color remover, so they have become my new favorites for removing color, here is my discharging playlist where I show Bleach, Rit, Out and Decolourant by Jacquard : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqUum7wx4njWkcy_HI10P-o.html have fun exploring
All the tests that I have done using different tips, I manage to fade the garment, but I cannot paint it. I am using dharma powder. What can I do to achieve it?
After I discharge, I do a good rinse job on the tees, if not then I think it is possible that some of the chemicals left behind can interfere with the dyeing process..... so rinse very well... and then I use Procion Dye and you will need soda ash so the dyes bond properly
yes you can... I buy mine from a Pool/Hot Tub Store locally .... just make sure it is soda ash... another name for it is Sodium Carbonate ... they use it to regulate the pH level ..... so just check the label for 100% Soda Ash or Sodium Carbonate and you are good ✌🏻
I'm having an issue where my spouts are getting clogged up while I'm dying. It's mostly reds but happens with other colors too sometimes. I have to keep rinsing it. What can I do??
I mix my dyes with Luke warm water to help dissolve the dye better .... after mixing my dyes, I pour them through a fine mesh filter like this one : amzn.to/2QKekAO (if you use this link then I get credit) ....... if there is A LOT of gunk when I do this, I will tap it back into the cup add more water and blend it up as I want all of my dye powder to dissolve or the color will not be right ... but sometimes there are little bits left and the filter will get them out And sometimes, the bits that clog the nozzle is not from the dye mixing but from the gunk that builds up inside the dye bottles over time and then it breaks loose and clogs... so now and then I will clean my bottles, here is how I do it : ua-cam.com/video/mVGFa99g5Mw/v-deo.html
@@MrTieDye Its wonderful and really gets the black out... but Ive always soaked the piece in never poured water on...so thats a new way to try and see the difference!
Yes I do.... some washers spray water during the beginning of the cycle (the water could dilute your soda ash) so I just set mine to halfway through the cycle
Thank you for asking I was wondering the same thing. Also you spin it out still tied so how do you keep it so tight that the washer doesn't loosen your creases?
it is possible, but you might have to leave the bleach on for longer to get it light enough to add dye to ... and then you wish getting holes if the bleach is left on for too long ... and be sure to neutralize the bleach when you get the color you want.... I do show how I neutralize bleach in the 3 bleach videos I have in this list : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuobKZarvDxELVgQCO25elQr.html But, I like the Out and the Rit because they remove more color and do not need to be neutralized afterwards, just rinsed well or washed ... have fun!! and you are welcome
I use Fiber Reactive Procion Mx Dyes. I buy most of mine from Dharma Trading Company, these are Professional Dyes and are long lasting. They work on natural fibers such as Cotton, Rayon, Bamboo, Hemp, Linen, and Silk. Here is a video on how to mix the dyes: ua-cam.com/video/3Fj289T6BVg/v-deo.html These are the base amounts to start with, personally, I use 5-6 tsp for 16 oz of dye.

@@MrTieDye i see a few different tips. i like the ones you use they seem to work great.i see a few at the dharma site.where do you get yours from? thanks again.i trip so much on after they are done curing and looking how they come out. just incredible.
Hi Carl. May I ask what are the active ingredients for the OUT White Brite please. Things are named differently here in Australia and I would like to try buy the product locally if I can.
it lists 3 ingredients ..... sodium metabisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and sodium carbonate ...... so I would say it is one of the first two as the sodium carbonate is soda ash and that is what I use to activate my procion dyes 😉✌🏻 ... I hope this helps you find something to use side note, there is a UK tie-dye page on FB and some posted a link to this as an alternative to the out white brite : www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004QVEIAM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&fbclid=IwAR2UngCvFuvO8p73P9PgLNBpcSuX77iDzJXt1oM2VjztonABIBmiaYIjMO4
@@MrTieDye thank you so much for your help. Much appreciated. Your Soda Ash is called Washing soda here. 😁 I have learnt so much from watching all the video tutorials you post.
I use Procion Dyes and most dyers buy from the place closest to them... I live in Oregon so I buy mine from dharma, but here are a few links for other places as well : CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/
Yes, the Procio dyes I use come in powdered form, you can use them as is for ice dye or HWI... or mix with water to make liquid dyes ... here is how I mix the dyes : ua-cam.com/video/3Fj289T6BVg/v-deo.html
yes, I use the spin cycle to remove the excess water or soda ash from my tees, then they are barely damp and that is my preferred way to have them while folding and dyeing .... BUT, the main thing is to check your spin cycle to see if it sprays water at the beginning of the cycle as this could dilute your soda ash ... if it does, then just set it to halfway through the cycle .... and if I am spinning out soda sh, I will squeeze out as much as I can by hand so I am not wasting to much of it 😉✌🏻
@@MrTieDye I’ve been tie-dying for years and I normally just ring them out by hand. I’m going to try this next time. I love your videos buddy you inspire me.
I have a question for you someone wants me to make a marbled tie dye tapestry for them but I've never done it before could you give me some tips. I would greatly appreciate it!
I have not done marbling before, but I have seen it done.... the on water part involves more chemicals .... but I have seen people do marbling with shaving cream..... I would imagine you would prep your tee by soaking in soda ash, then I would get a big pan or lay out some plastic... then spread out a layer of shaving cream as big as the tee shirt.... then drip some dye on it and use a chop stick or something to swirl it around in different patterns and you can mix some colors together this way.... but once you have the shaving cream designed the way you want it, then you carefully lay your tee on top and press down gently .... that is what I have seen others do, but like I said, I have not done it yet ..... you may search for marbling tie-dye on the FB pages or here on YT to find more info .... have fun and I wish you success!!
@shawndelaney34470 ... yes I do ... BUT, one thing to take note of .... Some washers spray water at the beginning of a spin cycle, so check that as that water can dilute the soda ash that you just soaked your tee in ... if your washer does spray water, set it to about halfway through the cycle ✌️

I set it in the washer, kinda standing up and leaning against the washer basin, I usually will do a few tees to balance it out, then I set my machine to the spin cycle ... then I usually rinse again and then spin out one more time ... then you can soak in soda ash and spin out again... BUT, one thing to be aware of with spinning out soda ash ... you need to check to see if your spin cycle sprays water during the spin cycle, some do and some do not ... if yours does, then you may be able to set the dial to half way through the cycle and normally it will not spray water at this point ... the reason for this is it can dilute your soda ash ... so it is not a problem when you are just rinsing something as the water helps with this, but not with soda ash ✌🏻 One other option is to add the soda ash after you have dyed the tee, I have been doing this more now, here is a video I made to show soaking before tying, after tying, or after dyeing : ua-cam.com/video/rkmAQxOu52A/v-deo.html BUT, if you are doing an Ice Dye, then you can just add the soda ash powder over top of your dyes or ice
Please help! I’ve watched this video and the long sleeve one many times. I’ve made my own attempts at least 5 times and I can’t seem to get enough black to stay in between like yours. What am I doing wrong. In between the pleats too much discharge. Help help ❤
Hello 👋 ... if too much black is coming out, there are a couple things you can do to stop it... one is maybe tie the pleats together tighter so not as much of the water and solution for the water and OWB powder does not get into the deeper parts of the folds.... the other is to pour to pour less water over the tee and pour it slowly... it is not a precise art ... I try to pour smaller amounts of water at a time and then add more if needed ... I hope this helps ✌️
@@MrTieDye thank you for your response ! yes I did all the above ! I’ve been doing them on thin tshirt like hoodies. I wonder if the zipper is creating too much space. I did do one on a long sleeve black shirt but got way to much discharge but I think I went overboard My goal is to get it exactly like you had it in the long sleeve vertical one! Thank you!!💜
I am sorry to hear that ... if you are on FB or IG, you can post a photo and tag me... or tell me more of what your process was, kinds of dyes used, cotton tee, soda ash... and then I will help where I can ... if you arguing to post more here on UA-cam, please start a new questions as replies do not show up for me in the same way as a New Question does ✌🏻
yes you can, but it works best on Cotton clothes ... and each color of tee is going to bleach out to different colors and there is no way of knowing until you do it.... I did a purple tee that bleached out to a bright orange, but as it dried it went to a burnt orange color ;) .... but when I say bleach, I mean Out White Brite as that is my favorite way to remove color 😉✌🏻
Soda ash is what activates the Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes and then causes the dyes to bond with the cotton fibers, another name for it is Sodium Carbonate. You can find it at one of the dye houses, or you can purchase locally from a pool supply store, or in the laundry isle under the name Washing Soda, just be sure to check the label says 100% Soda Ash. Here is how I mix or make soda ash: ua-cam.com/video/vD1MSB0sAY8/v-deo.html
I should have waited til whole video was done before asking. Thank you for making your instructions and demonstration so clear. I feel like this is something I can do!!
there are a few reasons, but mostly, I get more color removal with the Out White Brite or Rit Color Remover than I do from Bleach. (Bleach goes to an orange color where as the other two go to a beige or almost white... so it is easy to re dye) Also, the bleach can damage the tee if left on for too long, like if you are waiting for it to lighten up more.... or if you do not dilute it enough... and then when done you need to neutralize it the OUT and Rit can both just be rinsed/washed and then you can dye it ... here is my Black Tees playlist where I demo Bleach, OUT, Rit, and Jacquard DeColorant : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuobKZarvDxELVgQCO25elQr.html Personally, I prefer the Out or Rit for discharging ... but I encourage people to find what they like best or what works best for them
I really forgot your camera, no more else who is talking about your list... I would like to move on...... and you plenty of lower Bulks of dyes from Dharma, and did you still have more.
Has anyone tried to purchase a Clorox bleach pen for crafting? I couldn't find it in the store so I went to Amazon - couldn't believe it- $70 for a freaking 2oz bleach pen🤯 Hard pass, I just made my own.
sorry about that, spell check got me LOL .... I was saying that "if you are going to post here on UA-cam, then please ask a new question ....." so what part of the tee did not work out?? doing the OWB to remove color or the dyeing of the tee??
Firstly, thank you for this amazingly awesome and easy to understand video!! My only questions is --why do you use the soda ash, and what would happen if I didn't use soda ash? Just curious :)
Thank you so much and you are welcome .... I use the soda ash to activate the Procion Dyes that I use ... so without the soda ash, these dyes will mostly wash out 😉✌🏻

Yeah it can be a bit tricky to get started and have success ... so that is why I make these videos... I want everyone who want to do tie-dye to have the option to do it and have fun and success with it ... have fun exploring and creating!! ✌🏻🙏🥳❤️🙌
I would love to make a shirt like this and then print Scriptures on them. Thanks for the vid!!!
That sounds awesome... go for it and you are welcome 🙏
Hello, I just want to say thanks so much for this video. I tried it w/a black shirt and a navy shirt and they both look good. I like how it is a pretty simple design - for people who like that versus something more complex. It also does not use a lot of dye. The White Bright works better than bleach. I also put the shirt on a grill but just held the grill so I could direct the flow of water.
you are welcome.... I am glad to be of help to you and yes I love to do simple things as well as complex folds.... everyone likes something a little different and this art is great as there is so much you can do with tie-dye... sounds like your project t worked out perfectly!!
I really like that!! Pretty cool
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Mr. TieDye, Glad your arm is feeling better! We love your videos!
I like the part where you make Rainbow Flame Star T-Shirt of Black tie dye Handprinted Sculpture. Thank you for the Video that you just made for Everybody. 🤠
Thank you and you are welcome ✌🏻🙏
You Are Superstar!
Love the tee your wearing....did you design it if so can you do a video please!
The shirt you’re wearing is so cool as well! I see from another answer that you overdyed a Ronstar . Brillliant!
Thank you and yes, for the tee I am wearing, I took an already tie-dyed tee, soaked it in soda ash ( I used a separate basin as some of the old dye leach out while soaking, the soda ash is still good, just discolored) then I tied up a RonStar Design on the tee and then I dyed it black ... so then the colors from the original tie-dye show through in the lines of the Ronstar Design ... here is the Over Dye video : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html ✌🏻

incredible!!!
so asome
thank you
Thank you for the great tutorial. I made one and I LOVE it!
you are welcome and that is Awesome to hear!!
Thank you ☺️
You’re welcome 😊
Love this design ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Happy 2022🙏🏾🥰😃
Thank you, Happy New Year to you!! ✌🏻❤️🙏🌈🥳
I think just the black shirt with the white flame would be really cool
Yes... that is what I love about this art... you can stop wherever you want
Truly unique ❤️ 🌈 👕
thank you
Im so glad your back in action!! Thank you!! I cant help but to wonder what that tie would look like if the dye lay was a diagonal dna lay. Lovin you and this style.
well you are in luck, when I first started playing with this design, I did dye one in DNA style .... here is a pic of the happy customer wearing it : facebook.com/photo?fbid=10225455427042124&set=pcb.497834718005728
Good morning😃🙋🏽♀️
Good morning! ✌🏻
Very nice. I've been ordering my clothes in white cotton or linen, so that I can do a huge batch of tye dye ♥
Awesome... have fun and one place I like to visit when I want to dye something new for myself is second hand stores and then I just look for the white or light colored stuff and check the cotton content
Thanks@@MrTieDye That's a great idea! Have a wonderful weekend ♥
the one you are wearing looks dope too! like A LOT
thank you and the tee I am wearing in this video is a re dye or over dye.... I started with a tie-dye tee, tied it with sinew, soaked in soda sh and then dyed it in black ... the bright colors show though where they were covered with sinew : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸
Wow so beautiful. I love to tie dye but mine don't come out so good. But love this. You did a great job. Your new fan #rockellnova :)
Love it!!
Thank you!!
Pretty! ! ❤️🌈
thank you
I Like It💜💙
thank you
@@MrTieDye making this one
I love your videos and have learned so much. How did you make the shirt you're wearing? Is there a video for it? Ive searched and been unable to find it.
Thank you and you are welcome.... as for the tee I am wearing, the design is a RonStar : ua-cam.com/video/uxnyTyaMssM/v-deo.html
BUT.... instead of starting with a white tee, I used an old tie-dyed tee... I soaked it in soda ash first, (I used a separate basin as some dye does leach out, so I pour in just enough for the one tee) .... after tying the tee up with sinew, I dyed it all black... the sinew blocks the dye from reaching part of the tee, but instead of having white lines, I have colored lines ... I call it an Over Dye : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
and just in case you need help with the sinew, here is a video to show how I use it and kite string : ua-cam.com/video/nRKtNBZB5Qo/v-deo.html
and here is a video where I explain a bit of how I use the sinew and the sinew dowel : ua-cam.com/video/NsHsoLFh7-0/v-deo.html ~. in this video I tie the Ronstar on a white tee ✌🏻
Would this work the same for a black sweatshirt?? I love this design.
I am not sure if it would do the front and the back like I did with the tee due to the thickness of the sweatshirt... but it would at least do the front of the sweatshirt if you fold with the front side on the outside ... but hard to say until it is tried ... have fun and I wish you success ✌️
😲 WOW!! 🤩🤩🤩
thank you
Love this!! Thanks for sharing!!
Also what is the shirt you are wearing?!!
Thank you and you are welcome. As for the tee I am wearing, I call it an 'Over Dye' ... I started with a tie-dyed tee, then I tied up a RonStar Design and tied tightly with sinew, then I dye the tee with black... the place where the sinew is blocks the dye so the original color of the tie-dye tee shines through ... here is a video for it : ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
@@MrTieDye thanks!! It’s very cool fyi
Nice to see you back creating new designs for us to try. What purple do you use that don't bleed out? I turned deep purple and it seems to have a blue halo around it. Thanks.
From tying the thread on the shirt
that part does take practice... how did your pleating go, were the pleats even?? and when you say the tying did not work, did you tie it tight enough so you can pick the tee up and move it around without the folds coming out?? do you have any photos of your results or process anywhere... like FB or IG that I could go look at??
If you remove more color is sections you want to color can you soda ash it and go over it with black dye?
What brand of dyes do you use? This is amazing and I'm doing it immediately when I find out the dye brand. Did u ever figure out which purple?
I use Procion Dyes and buy most of mine from Dharma ... but there are many places in the US to buy them from, here are the main places dyers buy from :

MO : Dyespin : www.dyespin.com
as for purple, I use Plum mostly, but have been playing with Deep Purple as well
@@MrTieDye I order from dharma as well. Awesome thank you!
I wonder.. should we use soda ash with rit dyes.
I have not use Rit dyes before, but as far as I know, the soda ash will not help them.... with the Procion Dyes that I use, the soda ash sets up a chemical reaction between the dye and the cotton fibers causing them to bond ... I am not sure of the process for Rit, but it is different
I'm pretty new to tie dye and had been wanting to try a reverse dye with owb so tried after watching this video... I used a 100% cotton black tee, did my best pleating to date & tied it up crazy tight. I poured the owb powder on and slowly poured boiling water over, saw no change. Put more on, reheated water, tried again. Swished it around, added more, put boiling water in spray bottle & tried that, thinking the water was just washing it away too fast... Left it sit overnight for about 8 hrs... It literally took no color out. I rinsed it, found it had no change, untied it even to rinse better, (which was upsetting because I'd wanted to keep it pleated to dye), but nothing. Any tips? I was excited to try this and have seen so many people have success, not sure what i could've done wrong! Thanks for any advice! Love your videos, btw, very thorough; i just found your channel last night. 🫀
That happens every now and then... some Brands of tees do not work with OWB ... But, sometimes when OWB does not work on a tee, then Bleach will work .... so for this tee, maybe try bleach ... but otherwise, if you want to work with OWB, I would try a different brand of cotton tee ...
I use Port & Company mostly, but I have also used Gildan with good results .... but in the past, I had a random tee I found some place and had the same type experience ...
OWB did not remove any color, but Bleach did (just remember if you use Bleach, you must also Neutralize the Bleach once you get the desired color) ... I show how I neutralize in each of my 3 Bleach videos ... just in case you did not see it, I have a whole playlist for Discharging where I demo OWB, Rit Color Remover, Bleach and Decolourant : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqUum7wx4njWkcy_HI10P-o.html
Thank you so much for your help! This was some weird off brand I just found; I've been using mostly used/trash picked tees since I'm just learning but I have a ton of them so I'll be trying again. If this happens again, I'm not going to untie it & just bleach it after a rinse & hope it doesn't interact in some crazy disastrous way. 😆
Does the out white stink when you pour the hot water on? I have used rit color remover and it stinks so curious if this has a smell
Not quite as much. The powder is a little irritating at first but not as bad as the rit. But that's my opinion. I really like the Out White Brite.
just a little bit, but since the reaction is quick, the smell does not last long... the RIT is worse smell wise
Carl I waste too much dye when I use liquid and I don’t like using it. Do you think dui would work?
yes it would work great to do an incline ice dye ✌️ ... I had meant to do another video, but never go around to it
What brand dye do you use?? I've seen some people say you need a specific type or brand.
I mostly use Gildan or Port & Company .. but the main thing is to get 100% cotton ... the brand is not as important as the cotton content... so find the style, cut, softness or whatever is important, but 100% cotton, or close to it and you are good
also, when doing reverse dyeing, or discharging, some brands work better than others, but until you try one, you will not know how well it works... this is because it depends on how the black or whatever color tee you have was originally dyed as to how it will discharge ... so the first two brands I mentioned work well
Crazy work there!! But how does your item not come undone in the spin cycle? Also, not being in US, OWB is hard to come by so i hv bleach to work with. I assume it would work the same?
Thank you and I just make sure I have the tee tied tightly and then I lay it flat against the drum of the washer and normally have at least one other tee to balance the load as it spins
as for Bleach ... you may get some similar results, but I prefer the OWB as it goes to an almost light tan color, but when I use bleach, it is more of an orangy color... and you will need to rinse and then neutralize the bleach after you are done ...
you did not say where you were from,
but I saw a note from a dyer in the UK, here are the alternatives to OWB :
HG Whiter than White
Dr Beckman Colour Run Remover
and here is another post I saw a post about someone who used 'Heitmann Decolorant' from Germany .... great color removal from what I could see
I hope you have fun and success with your project ✌🏻
Did you leave it tied up during the spin cycle? Are you using a regular washer to spin?
yes I did and yes I am using the regular spin cycle, I can set mine to half way... and I usually will put two tees in to balance it
@@MrTieDye my place has coin op. I can’t start in the middle but I guess I could wait for the spin cycle and drop in then.
I am from Sri Lanka....Thanks for the tips man and love the way you presenting it .If you have time can you please tell me how to reduce the decreasing of the colourfulness of the tie dye t shirt when washing sometimes paint got fade after the washing how could I reduce this and I made a t shirt by the aid of your video and it becomes marvellous and thank you for you help.finally stay safe with blessing of the Buddha and god bless you.
Hello and welcome to my channel, I am glad to be of help to you .... here isa video I made that gives some tips on how to improve the colors of your tie-dyes : ua-cam.com/video/vXFh3CIMJGc/v-deo.html
Some comes down to what kind of dyes you are using.... how strong you mix them, how long you let them batch for the dye to bond ... I hope this video helps
So I bought a black gildan sweatshirt which I assumed it was 100% cotton. It may actually be a cotton and polyester blend. I don’t see any color being taken out. Is this because it is blended with polyester?
I have had a couple tees that were off brands that OWB did not remove color from... and yeah I think having poly in them does not help ... one thing you could try is Bleach ... I had one tee that bleached out great and when I found anohter one recently, I tried OWB and no color came out at all....
SO ... Bleach and OWB work differently... so if one does not work, I wash it and then I try the other... just make sure to neutralize if you go with bleach ... I showed how I neutralize bleach in all 3 of my bleach videos ✌🏻
other than that, I try out a tee before I buy a lot of them to make sure this process will work.... BUT, you Never know until you try and even if they look the same, it really depends on how they were dyed as to how they will discharge or not ✌🏻
When you say you spin the shirt out, you're running the shirt, folded and tied, through a washing machine spin cycle? Or maybe one of those Panda spinners, which is basically the same thing, correct?
Yes, I put the tee in the washer and run just the spin cycle, I usually put at least two in so it is balanced .... and yes, many people use one of those panda spinners ... I like to fold and dye a tee when it is barely damp most of the time and the spin cycle works great for this

i have a light bubble gum pink shirt do i have to bleach or can i dye it and come out with wierd colors but havea pattern ? thanks again
lite colored tees can just be dyed with darker colors... but you will still need to pre soak in soda ash with Procion dyes ;)
Hello I know this video was made a while back but I'm new at this and I hope you see this. I just but the OWB. I have been using bleach to do scrunch method on black tees. I normally just spray the bleach after I have scrunched it and let it sit till it's light. But lots of times I get holes or ugly splotches. My question is how can I achieve a scrunch method on a black shirt using the OWB? Does it have to be hot? If I pour it all over won't the color come out most of the shirt? Also what do you precast shirts with? Sorry I'm so lost. Lol but I ruin alot of shirts with bleach. Help
Yeah I have used bleach and know about getting holes... no fun there. I love the OUT and the Rit Color Remover the most as they remove more color and do not need to be neutralized like the bleach does.
But yes I know what you mean about the OUT... I will be doing more videos using the OUT and working on designs like the scrunch, so stay tuned for that....
but the way I have had some success with it is by pouring a little water at a time instead of filling the tub up and letting it soak ...... and tying the tees tighter to 'block' out some of the OUT
And I am not sure what you mean by 'precast' but I just do a prewash on the black tees, and then after they spin out, I fold them while they are barely damp and then do the OUT while still damp. here is my Black tees playlist where I show all of the discharging methods I have tried :

Hi is the Out Whit Bright easier on the fabric than bleach?
yes it is... there is no need to neutralize as it does not have the same type reaction as the bleach does, so it will not 'eat' away at the fibers ... and neither does the Rit color remover, so they have become my new favorites for removing color, here is my discharging playlist where I show Bleach, Rit, Out and Decolourant by Jacquard : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuqUum7wx4njWkcy_HI10P-o.html
have fun exploring
@@MrTieDye thanks
All the tests that I have done using different tips, I manage to fade the garment, but I cannot paint it. I am using dharma powder. What can I do to achieve it?
After I discharge, I do a good rinse job on the tees, if not then I think it is possible that some of the chemicals left behind can interfere with the dyeing process..... so rinse very well... and then I use Procion Dye and you will need soda ash so the dyes bond properly
Dope!
❤️
✌🏻
Did you use thickened water in your dye?
no I did not use it here, just dye mixed with water ... but I did use a bit of thickener in my dyes in the past, I have just gone more simple now
could you just mix the out white bright in a bottle with water and just pour it on, wouldn't that be quicker and easier?
Can I buy soda ash at a physical store or just online?
yes you can... I buy mine from a Pool/Hot Tub Store locally .... just make sure it is soda ash... another name for it is Sodium Carbonate ... they use it to regulate the pH level ..... so just check the label for 100% Soda Ash or Sodium Carbonate and you are good ✌🏻
I'm having an issue where my spouts are getting clogged up while I'm dying. It's mostly reds but happens with other colors too sometimes. I have to keep rinsing it. What can I do??
I mix my dyes with Luke warm water to help dissolve the dye better .... after mixing my dyes, I pour them through a fine mesh filter like this one : amzn.to/2QKekAO (if you use this link then I get credit) ....... if there is A LOT of gunk when I do this, I will tap it back into the cup add more water and blend it up as I want all of my dye powder to dissolve or the color will not be right ... but sometimes there are little bits left and the filter will get them out
And sometimes, the bits that clog the nozzle is not from the dye mixing but from the gunk that builds up inside the dye bottles over time and then it breaks loose and clogs... so now and then I will clean my bottles, here is how I do it : ua-cam.com/video/mVGFa99g5Mw/v-deo.html
Is white out better then color remover from dharma?
I have not tried the color remover from Dharma yet 😉✌🏻
@@MrTieDye Its wonderful and really gets the black out... but Ive always soaked the piece in never poured water on...so thats a new way to try and see the difference!
Hey there. When you say "spin it out" you mean in the washer just on the spin cycle?
Yes I do.... some washers spray water during the beginning of the cycle (the water could dilute your soda ash) so I just set mine to halfway through the cycle
Thank you for asking I was wondering the same thing. Also you spin it out still tied so how do you keep it so tight that the washer doesn't loosen your creases?
Would we get the same results using bleach? Just curious... I love your videos they have inspired me to get in touch with my creative side 😊
it is possible, but you might have to leave the bleach on for longer to get it light enough to add dye to ... and then you wish getting holes if the bleach is left on for too long ... and be sure to neutralize the bleach when you get the color you want.... I do show how I neutralize bleach in the 3 bleach videos I have in this list : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuobKZarvDxELVgQCO25elQr.html
But, I like the Out and the Rit because they remove more color and do not need to be neutralized afterwards, just rinsed well or washed ... have fun!! and you are welcome

Hi Carl. May I ask what are the active ingredients for the OUT White Brite please. Things are named differently here in Australia and I would like to try buy the product locally if I can.
it lists 3 ingredients ..... sodium metabisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and sodium carbonate ...... so I would say it is one of the first two as the sodium carbonate is soda ash and that is what I use to activate my procion dyes 😉✌🏻 ... I hope this helps you find something to use
side note, there is a UK tie-dye page on FB and some posted a link to this as an alternative to the out white brite : www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004QVEIAM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&fbclid=IwAR2UngCvFuvO8p73P9PgLNBpcSuX77iDzJXt1oM2VjztonABIBmiaYIjMO4

@@MrTieDye thank you! love your videos.
Do you actually spin it out in the washing machine?
yes, I use the spin cycle to remove the excess water or soda ash from my tees, then they are barely damp and that is my preferred way to have them while folding and dyeing .... BUT, the main thing is to check your spin cycle to see if it sprays water at the beginning of the cycle as this could dilute your soda ash ... if it does, then just set it to halfway through the cycle .... and if I am spinning out soda sh, I will squeeze out as much as I can by hand so I am not wasting to much of it 😉✌🏻
@@MrTieDye I’ve been tie-dying for years and I normally just ring them out by hand. I’m going to try this next time. I love your videos buddy you inspire me.
I have a question for you someone wants me to make a marbled tie dye tapestry for them but I've never done it before could you give me some tips. I would greatly appreciate it!
I have not done marbling before, but I have seen it done.... the on water part involves more chemicals .... but I have seen people do marbling with shaving cream..... I would imagine you would prep your tee by soaking in soda ash, then I would get a big pan or lay out some plastic... then spread out a layer of shaving cream as big as the tee shirt.... then drip some dye on it and use a chop stick or something to swirl it around in different patterns and you can mix some colors together this way.... but once you have the shaving cream designed the way you want it, then you carefully lay your tee on top and press down gently .... that is what I have seen others do, but like I said, I have not done it yet ..... you may search for marbling tie-dye on the FB pages or here on YT to find more info .... have fun and I wish you success!!

When you say "spin it out" do you mean in a washer spin cycle
@shawndelaney34470 ... yes I do ... BUT, one thing to take note of .... Some washers spray water at the beginning of a spin cycle, so check that as that water can dilute the soda ash that you just soaked your tee in ... if your washer does spray water, set it to about halfway through the cycle ✌️

how did you spin it out
I set it in the washer, kinda standing up and leaning against the washer basin, I usually will do a few tees to balance it out, then I set my machine to the spin cycle ... then I usually rinse again and then spin out one more time ...
then you can soak in soda ash and spin out again... BUT, one thing to be aware of with spinning out soda ash ... you need to check to see if your spin cycle sprays water during the spin cycle, some do and some do not ... if yours does, then you may be able to set the dial to half way through the cycle and normally it will not spray water at this point ...
the reason for this is it can dilute your soda ash ... so it is not a problem when you are just rinsing something as the water helps with this, but not with soda ash ✌🏻
One other option is to add the soda ash after you have dyed the tee, I have been doing this more now, here is a video I made to show soaking before tying, after tying, or after dyeing : ua-cam.com/video/rkmAQxOu52A/v-deo.html
BUT, if you are doing an Ice Dye, then you can just add the soda ash powder over top of your dyes or ice
Please help! I’ve watched this video and the long sleeve one many times. I’ve made my own attempts at least 5 times and I can’t seem to get enough black to stay in between like yours. What am I doing wrong. In between the pleats too much discharge. Help help ❤
Hello 👋 ... if too much black is coming out, there are a couple things you can do to stop it...
one is maybe tie the pleats together tighter so not as much of the water and solution for the water and OWB powder does not get into the deeper parts of the folds....
the other is to pour to pour less water over the tee and pour it slowly... it is not a precise art ... I try to pour smaller amounts of water at a time and then add more if needed ... I hope this helps ✌️
@@MrTieDye thank you for your response ! yes I did all the above ! I’ve been doing them on thin tshirt like hoodies. I wonder if the zipper is creating too much space. I did do one on a long sleeve black shirt but got way to much discharge but I think I went overboard

I am sorry to hear that ... if you are on FB or IG, you can post a photo and tag me... or tell me more of what your process was, kinds of dyes used, cotton tee, soda ash... and then I will help where I can ... if you arguing to post more here on UA-cam, please start a new questions as replies do not show up for me in the same way as a New Question does ✌🏻
How much does cost a master class to learn everything from you,Sir
I have not set anything like that up
Can you bleach any colour of clothing?
yes you can, but it works best on Cotton clothes ... and each color of tee is going to bleach out to different colors and there is no way of knowing until you do it.... I did a purple tee that bleached out to a bright orange, but as it dried it went to a burnt orange color ;) .... but when I say bleach, I mean Out White Brite as that is my favorite way to remove color 😉✌🏻
my hair randomly drags in dye. Does your beard drag sometimes?
yes it did, I had to keep pulling it back from the table when I was working.... BUT, I have since shaved, so no longer an issue ✌🏻
What is the purpose of soda ash
Soda ash is what activates the Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes and then causes the dyes to bond with the cotton fibers, another name for it is Sodium Carbonate.
You can find it at one of the dye houses, or you can purchase locally from a pool supply store, or in the laundry isle under the name Washing Soda, just be sure to check the label says 100% Soda Ash.
Here is how I mix or make soda ash: ua-cam.com/video/vD1MSB0sAY8/v-deo.html
Did you soak this in soda ash?
I should have waited til whole video was done before asking. Thank you for making your instructions and demonstration so clear. I feel like this is something I can do!!
No worries... and you are welcome... I love to share what I know so others can enjoy this art and have success with it ✌️
Why Out product over using bleach?
there are a few reasons, but mostly, I get more color removal with the Out White Brite or Rit Color Remover than I do from Bleach. (Bleach goes to an orange color where as the other two go to a beige or almost white... so it is easy to re dye)
Also, the bleach can damage the tee if left on for too long, like if you are waiting for it to lighten up more.... or if you do not dilute it enough... and then when done you need to neutralize it
the OUT and Rit can both just be rinsed/washed and then you can dye it ... here is my Black Tees playlist where I demo Bleach, OUT, Rit, and Jacquard DeColorant : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuobKZarvDxELVgQCO25elQr.html
Personally, I prefer the Out or Rit for discharging ... but I encourage people to find what they like best or what works best for them
Ok. I can see your plenty of bulk Jars of dyes from Dharma, so that's not all of it. Right.
nope, I have more in a lower cupboard that you cannot see on camera
I really forgot your camera, no more else who is talking about your list... I would like to move on...... and you plenty of lower Bulks of dyes from Dharma, and did you still have more.
Has anyone tried to purchase a Clorox bleach pen for crafting? I couldn't find it in the store so I went to Amazon - couldn't believe it- $70 for a freaking 2oz bleach pen🤯 Hard pass, I just made my own.
yeah I just went and looked... that is crazy!!
I have seen diy youtube videos on how to make it
When you say you spin it out, you mean you put the shirt in your washer and spin it while its folded?
yes I do 😉✌🏻
@@MrTieDye Omgosh mind blown ive never thought about doing that I assumed it would get messed up.
Starting from if you arguing I don't understand
sorry about that, spell check got me LOL .... I was saying that "if you are going to post here on UA-cam, then please ask a new question ....." so what part of the tee did not work out?? doing the OWB to remove color or the dyeing of the tee??
Do you have a medicine bag around your neck?
yes I do... I use it to carry stones ✌️
@@MrTieDye wow! Perhaps I should stop putting healing crystals around my home & put small stones on my aching wrecked body 😏
Firstly, thank you for this amazingly awesome and easy to understand video!! My only questions is --why do you use the soda ash, and what would happen if I didn't use soda ash? Just curious :)
Thank you so much and you are welcome .... I use the soda ash to activate the Procion Dyes that I use ... so without the soda ash, these dyes will mostly wash out 😉✌🏻
