Another trick I have used to prevent dye or a dye of a different color getting on a portion of a shirt is to put the portion you don’t want the dye on in a plastic bag and rubber band or tie off the end of the bag really really tightly.
thank you! I've been looking for tutorials on how to dye just the sleeves of a long sleeve shirt and this is the closest i can find. hopefully it works
Good presentation bro. May you tell me what a thing you was putting there after colouring then you turn the T-shirt another side for the same process. Also as opinion, sometimes camera captured happens to missfit hides some important part of the session.
I'm not sure what you're referring to? So, I'll try to cover it all: Cardboard is used around the fabric so that the dye/ice stays on the fabric, the powdered dye is applied, ice is applied (in this case it's crushed ice), the fabric is flipped over and the same process is repeated. Yes, I'm aware about the fabric slipping below the cameras POV at times. Everything is positioned differently when I film than when I'm not filming, so "muscle memory" takes over during the process and the fabric sometimes slips below the field of view. I plan to install a ceiling mount for the camera; but, "life" keeps happening and the mount just gets pushed further down the calendar.
Ice allows you to split the powdered dyes into their component colors vs. the solid color of a liquid dye. I always dye both sides of the fabric - it adds depth to the colors and increases saturation.
Isn't rayon the best material to use for the dye with cotton being the runner up? I can never find 100% Rayon anywhere & when I do it isn't white.. any suggestions? Other than sticking with the cotton?
Procion bonds very well with rayon; but, you can rip holes through rayon very easily when using even modest pressure with sinew. You can get very good color saturation with cotton as long as you use soda ash, don't use water/ice that contains chlorine/chloramine, batch for long enough (24+ hours), and the batching is at least room temperature.
If the cardboard is an attempt to hold the dye in place, would something nonporous, such as plastic, be more beneficial. Or would that cause the colors to pool?
It's to hold the ice in place and takes less time to form into odd shapes than other options (plastic sheeting, aluminum foil, etc.). Plus, it's a simple way to get rid of the excess supply of cardboard boxes that most people have.
I really love your videos and I wonder if you might be able to answer my question. I use dharma Procion dyes and i keep getting concentrated red specks in the red portions of my tie dye shirts. This isn't happening with my other colors, just fire red. I tried using very hot water when mixing the dye and that didn't seem to help either. I was wondering if you have ever encountered this problem?
Some batches of the dye can have issues. If you run across a batch that results in specks when liquid dying, you can filter the liquid dye through a coffee filter into another container to remove any of the minute pieces of powdered dye that didn't properly dissolve and this should prevent the issue in your shirt designs.

Thank u so much for sharing, my stepdad is going to love this
Thanks for your help! I definitely had a different technique when attempting mine the first time, now I know how to do it properly :D 👍
Best of luck!
thank you! I've been looking for tutorials on how to dye just the sleeves of a long sleeve shirt and this is the closest i can find. hopefully it works
Just be sure to leave a good gap between the dye and the last section of sinew and it should work out for you.
Learn a lot. Enjoyed every demo.
Love the finished effect. What is the music that is played while you are putting on the dye and rinsing it. I like it very much
Thanks turned out great...well for my 1st time! Lol
You are so talented. I wish you the best of luck with this channel. Greatings from Spain! ❤️
Thank you - much appreciated.
thank you
That turned out great
Thank you.
@@CasualCollisions I'm definetly going to use that on a t-shirt I had some of my artwork printed on to give it a bit more POP!
Why to turn inside out tee ?
Love your stuff, man, thank you. Why do you reverse the color order when you flip it?
I think I answered my own question actually. The colors you used blend well with each other and reversing them creates added texture...?
If you use different colors on the opposite side, you'll increase color-depth and contrast.
Love how it turned out. Really love the colors, too bad it's only on the sleeve! Did you do a shirt like that?
I've done a few peacock tie dye videos that encompass more of the shirt.
Nice relaxing music

Genial!, why you do use ice? and twice?
Ice allows you to split the powdered dyes into their component colors vs. the solid color of a liquid dye. I always dye both sides of the fabric - it adds depth to the colors and increases saturation.

Thank you so much, that makes sense. I'm glad to have a solution to the problem now.
Why do you flip the shirt inside out ?
To prevent "speckles" from appearing with ice dyeing.
Très beau.
Wow
