I've learned more from ur video than the last 20 i've watched! Thank you!!!
I am glad I could help. Have fun!
Bravo! Very nice... I think your the kind of young man I would enjoy meeting.Just because you have a fun and creative nature. Thank for the video.
Seriously thanks. Awesome video. Simple. Short.
Love the video and the narrative, especially " cause I don't really care about, .....anything....." Lol!!!!!!!! my first try not too bad , a lot less stressful than other methods! Thanks!
I agree with the below post, your techniques are simple and awesome....more videos please!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing! I gave this a try yesterday and I couldn't be happier, I'm so glad I found this video! :)
You are very welcome! I am glad that you enjoyed it and tried it out yourself!
Thanks so much for posting! I'm not experienced with tie dying, but was able to create this type of pattern on the back of a t-shirt. Wasn't sure if I could get it to work out, but it turned out great! I'm so grateful that you shared this.
My first tutorial on tie dye and I think you are awesome! I love that you recommended Carl Young. Thank you so much!
If you have any ideas for other videos, please let me know. I am always looking for inspiration!
SOOOOO COOL!!! I can wait to get my dyes!
I used your instructions to make 4 tie dye mandalas..they are all my favorite tie dyes I've done so far. Thanks for the video :)
Thanks dude going on a dye binge today.
I am sure it turned out awesome. Hopefully you will have many more.
i was watching this and just thinking it would turn out lame, but wow it looks amazing!
Colin Wimer Thanks! I kept to a few techniques, and tied to keep it simple.
@JaneBritany I would guess that the "center" point you are using is the outside of the fabric. Try the fold on a tshirt and see if that helps you visualize the "center" any better. Hope that helps.
This was the best tie dye video ever! Thanks.. we just brought a whole bunch of dye to St. Croix to make some shirts and pillow cases for the dead show..( It's our first time Tie dyeing.. Cant wait to see how they turn out tomorrow and we will be using your technique to finish our stuff tomorrow! Thanks
Really beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
No problem. The amount of patterns you can achieve is breathtaking!
Throughout the whole dying process I kept thinking 'how much dye is he adding to that section' and 'why is he adding more than one colour to each section' but I was absolutely stunned by the final product!!! Definitely going to be trying this out soon!
Thanks, I started using more dye early on in my practice. You can put too much dye, but too little dye doesn't give me the results that I like (most of the time)
That's insaine! Great job figuring that out. And thanks for sharing
That turned out so nice! Thanks for posting this!
Love your video. Very informative and your teaching method is easy to follow too! :)
Robin Reece Thank you, I learn a lot from making these videos.
Thank you so much! I just made a scarf and it turned out beautiful! I appreciate the lesson! Peace.
Melissa
Oh Lord, that is truly awesome! Thanks for the tut.
I love these, and rewatch every time I tie dye! Thanks for the videos! :)
You are welcome. I am planning a bunch more to come...
@aishumaj1 Yes and no... This was a fairly thin bandana, you could do two or three or more layers with thin fabric. I wouldn't even try this fold on thick fabric such as sweatshirt material. So it depends on your fabric. and my best advice, as with an tie dyeing, is to experiment and try it out :)
Thanks for this informative video. You do have nice style of teaching. Lovely mandala,
Tamara Jones Thank you, I learn a lot from making these videos!
Roslyn Rags
wow i really didn't think it would turn out that good... its beautiful good work nice vid thxs for making it
When you first started slapping the dye on I was thinking, NO! Those colors will look terrible together! I couldn't be any more wrong. That looks really awesome! Next shirt I make is definitely having a star on it. Thanks for the tutorial!
You are welcome. One of the goals of mine is to try every fold with every color combination. It may be impossible however it is a fun journey.
Awesome video... are you accordian folding the tip of the star or no?
I love your laugh brooooo!!
I've watched it three times now just because I love the sound of your voice :) Thanks for sharing
Gorgeous effect!! Thanks so much for the video! Can't wait to try this!
I hope your ties turn out awesome. Thanks for watching. I have more videos planned.
This has just given me so much inspiration! Thank you it's great! :)
Great video, Moonlight Sonata ftw. I'm definitely going to start using black in my fire now! It makes it a lot more dramatic.
Sam Chaney Thanks. There is a limit, but more layers of color, the better.
the last shirt was my favorit on the slideshow, kick ass man gotta try it
@shiboodles yes, depending on the thickness of the shirt. I don't think that it would work too well with a sweatshirt.
Can you show how to do the Lotus blossom fold? Thanks!! Your videos are wonderful!!!
I love the way this turned out and am so grateful for your tutorial!!! I've been wanting to create a tapestry with this sort of design, but the fabric I got was too tick to create the tiny folds.... do you have any sort of recommendations on the type of fabric to use?????
there are so many types of fabric out there, it is almost on a case by case basis. If I get a new fabric that I can reliably re-order. It may take me 20-100 pieces before I feel comfortable with knowing which designs I can put on it without messing it up. But there is always a possibility of "ruining" any piece...
AWESOME! Thank you for SHARING your knowledge :) You rock! and Carl Jung is a genius!
Wow, that's so pretty.
Tu canal es genial. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos acerca de esto. Saludos desde Ecuador. (:
Alexis Vinueza Eres bienvenido. Es divertido compartir!
Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for the great tutorial!
I got a white sundress today with some sewn in patterns. I'm gonna try this on it. Cross your fingers for me!
Ooooh! Sometimes those designs will remain white or take the dye a little bit differently. I am sure it will be awesome, good luck and enjoy!
@hobblephosk you seem to be using one layer of clothe in this video...will it work right for 2 layers as well? like...a shirt?
Yay you are a life saver
Love it! So, it looks like you use pretty big bottles. All over the web, it says the dyes are only good for a day. Was wondering if you stored yours differently or if you really use that much dye every day?
I don't dye every day, but I try to use all the dye that I mix within 12 hours of mixing it.
it depends if they are mixed with soda ash or not, some dye companies like dylon and tulip actually mix soda ash in their dyes and that can effect the longevity of the dye once mixed. i have read that if there is no soda ash than it is good for much longer. i have heard of people using the dye weeks later and having good results.
your tie dying is amazing!
Thanks. I really enjoy it!
First, I just wanted to say I really like your work. And second, how do you get the stars to have rounded edges? Thank you.
Mr Hobble, any tips when doing mandala on t-shirts.. It seems to be harder to do because a shirt is so much thicker
Aaahhh thank you for simple ways to create awesome rays...lol
very nice....I think this shall be my next project.
Thanks. It is a fun fold. Here is another video with a Mandala:ua-cam.com/video/ZOsUaNwg1-E/v-deo.html
Roslyn Rags I just went to a thrift store and got a few white items to work on, Im going to check out a few more of you videos for inspiration.
LOVE The Rainbow Mandela...Video on this one? :)
@oneshrivledweenie I did it too with a tshirt and it ended up too thick too. what i learned to do is only use the front side of the tshirt for the mandala (so you only have one layer of fabric). It is quite confusing to tie though. Then dye another pattern to the back of the shirt.
I have a potentially very silly question: if I want to do this on a standard, short-sleeved t-shirt, how should I fold the sleeves, since it's not the square you have here?
That is gorgeous!
wow this is really neat!!! thanks for sharing!
@hobblephosk hey you said you were taking requests! i think you should do a cosmic ray tie dye
wow man glad i ate peg bundy's mysterie package
HOLY FAAAAACK! Thaaank you very much!!
Blueberries! You are veeeeryyyy welcome!!!!
Would it work if I were to cut the sleeves off of a t-shirt and do it from there?
this is amazing!! thank you for posting this video!!!
Abbigail Sidwell You are welcome. It was a lot of fun to make!
brilliance!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
should the cloth be wet before you apply the dyes?
I use Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dyes
Frikking gorgeous!!
Thank you. Mandalas are so much fun!
I was amazed 😍😍
+Bell Irwin Thanks, they are always fun to open.
great video, thank you!
thanks a lot man, this is awesome and you're hilarious!
Thank you for simplifying that
I know this is an older video but hopefully you see this comment I really love this design would it be the same if I wanted to do this on a tshirt or tank top?
Can you do this on a shirt? (Never tie dyed before)
Beautiful!
Jason Swanson Thanks!

What is in soda ash? Can i use products from home?
hola brother que como se llaman los liquidos con los que ce mezcla los tintes o es solo agua o un quimico como para hacer los colores fuertes y brillantes por que no logro obtener ese tono brillante saludos ¡
To the best of my knowledge, fabric reactive dyes, such as Procyon MX, contain chlorinated triazines which which can undergo aminolysis with peptides that compose natural fabrics. This reaction follows a nucleophillic substitution pattern which requires the peptide bond broken to allow the free amine to serve as the nucleophile and can be catalyzed by acids.Nnormal stress of manufacturing and spinning the fiber would mechanically do this, but this reaction can be catalyzed by acid.
@tigolebitty what's the purpose of soaking in soda ash? i don't do this step, so what will the difference be in the outcome?
I have a chemistry question. Procion dyes can be mixed in a pre-activated method in which the soda ash is mixed with the dye, or one can presoak the fabric. It seems like you presoaked the fabric in the video, but your shirt is quite dry. Could you elaborate on the presoak process?
Thanks for the question. The dyes are inactive when in dry powder form. When they go into water they will slowly start to activate and only have a limited shelf life. Soda ash allows the dye to bond to the fiber of the project, you have a couple hours to use the dye before it has been fully activated and you start losing vibrancy. I prewash every item. Then I soak it in soda ash. Then I spin it out in a spare washing machine that puts the water back in the bucket the item was soaking in. Normally I will put the item in the dryer with low or no heat. With trial and error I have determined which designs should be at what dampness, or bone dry.
Roslyn Rags I gather the mandalas require a drier shirt? I used to do lots of shirts, mainly spirals and tire stripes and their variants.
Mostly. The more layers of fabric in a single fold, the drier the material, usually. There are always exceptions in Tie Dye!
The vinegar acts as a mordant. I don't know a lot about the science, but you could look that up. You can also use urine. :)
thank you for posting this
You are welcome. Mandalas are a lot of fun!
I am out of work and am thinking about trying tie dyeing shirts as a way to help my wife pay the bills. Is it possible to make money doing this? I made some shirts years ago but mine didnt turn out nearly as cool as what I just saw. That last shirt was amazing!!!!
Thanks! There is always room for another tie dye artist.
Hmm....OK thanks.
IF you practice any activity you will get better at it. Farmer's Markets, music festivals are good places to vend at, you may have to travel to some of the better ones. If you are technologically savvy enough you can sell online and not even have to leave your house! I don't know if that is any better, but practice, practice, practice.
Thank you. I didnt mean to seem ungrateful for the first response.
Also thank you sooo much for your tutorials here on you tube. They are super informative and my favorite price. Free!
that is very good i wish i could do stuff like that all i can do is airbrush and draw any way i still think that it is better than airbrush keep in toush
pete thursby I wish I could airbrush. basic drawing is all I can do. You can combine them...
does adding vinegar really hold the dye?? amazing design btw :B
Saji Khadijah That is more for natural dyes, and possibly other dyes. I have heard salt can help but I advise your own research.
Saji Khadijah salt for natural fibers works like soda ash ... not the same result but still does the same thing ... you would use vinigar on other items that are man made if you get a box of RIT or go to their site they walk you thru it ...sorta lol
I want more videos!!!
can you show me how to tie dye a sunflower design??:) btw this amazing!!!!!
what dye do you use and what formula to mix? :)
Nisu H , he said in the video that this particular piece is dyed with Procion MX. You can search for that on the interwebs. I hope you find it!
Oh, the instructions for mixing it come with the product. ☺
I thought it was gonna look weird but it turned out bad ass
Thanks, mandalas are a lot of fun!
Thank u so very much
umm here is a stupid question where does soda ash come from/do you make it/do you get it from a tye dye kit?
lexi keiffer It is Sodium Carbonate, You can get it where you get your dyes. I believe it comes premixed with the dye in tie dye kits. Also pool supply stores, as pH up, pH plus. Something like that just make sure it is 100% Sodium Carbonate.
its lexi here Sodium carbonate is sold in regular stores as washing soda in the detergent section. Its like a $2 box. Hope you discovered that 5 mo ago.
Roslyn Rags
hey- sodium BIcarbonate is just baking soda. Would that work for tie dye?
hippypotto In order to use baking soda, a lower pH, you need to heat up the piece after the dye is applied. I am not sure what temp to get it at, I use Soda Ash. Some people like Baking Soda because it is less caustic, and safer for use.
beautiful
thank you
thank you :D
it helped me a lot :D
i totally thought that would look like shit but it actually looks pretty sweet man
Nice
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
You are very welcome!
What is your tips for doing this on a bed sheet rather than shirts. I've been making taperstry out of twin size flat sheets.
swirls are pretty easy I find folding this with a rectangle is alot Harder to achieve the 16 point.
Crazyinnova When dealing with a rectangle, focus your mandala on the radius to the shorter side of the sheet. Once you fold into the short edge of the sheet, treat the rest of the fabric like a "background".
Roslyn Rags so when I fold it. Fold the long side in the half, or the shorter
Crazyinnova It doesn't matter... just remember where the shorter edge ends. base the radius of your design from that point inward.
Roslyn Rags maybe one day you can make a video to show me. I use a twin size flat sheet from Walmart an i prepare it with soda ash an what not, the colors stick good. Just can't make it right. You have an email I can show you how my first one came out.
So if you use opposite colors, it creates brown?
Melissa Hedge Mixing two colors will give different results, depending on which one is placed first. Also different concentrations will yield different results. Experiment and find the ones you like!

I don't care for tie-dye but that was actually very pretty.
@hobblephosk cud u do this with one colour
very similar to a lotus blossom
this is dope.
Thanks
Title it "The Springfield tire fire" ;)
