How to Ombré Dye a Shirt

  • This is a tutorial showing how to ombre dye/dip dye a shirt, with a single color of dye.
    Cotton is the best material for this project. The shirt shown in this video was 95% rayon, 5% spandex - as you can see it will still work, but the color won't be as intense as it would've been with cotton.
    For the dye, I used RIT concentrated powder dye in navy blue. You can find it here: amzn.to/2NbZJam (affiliate)

      I don't think so cause when you get food colouring in your clothes and if you wash it, the food colouring is not there anymore 😂

    Thank you so much for this video \(◡̈)/♥︎
    I dyed a hoodie in Denim Blue Rit dye following your instructions and it turned out beautiful!
    Here are some tips:
    1) If you’re using powdered dye, mix it thoroughly! I didn’t and got red dots. Thankfully they washed away when rinsing.
    2) Rinsing takes up more water and effort than you think. The instructions said to start rinsing with hot water and then gradually use cooler water as the water ran clearer - but the water never ran clear. Rinsed the hoodie at least ten times but it was still giving blue water lol. Maybe I used too much dye. (Btw didn’t wait for 24 hours before rinsing.)
    3) When pulling the clothing up and down, be careful so it doesn’t splash. I got blotches because of my splashing geh
    4) You won’t regret it!!!! Bought a brand new hoodie just for this and it came out great :)

    • @22bears
      @22bears 2 роки тому +1

      hey there! maybe it didn't ran clear bc u skipped the 24 hours leaving the hoodie sit and then rinse? or is it always like that, it'll keep losing color?

    • @essyjae
      @essyjae  7 років тому

      Yes, I would try using as little dye as possible to get a lighter, lilac color. You can always add more dye and dip it again if it isn't dark enough, and the type of material the shirt is made out of will affect how the color looks. Good luck, that sounds pretty! :)

    • @essyjae
      @essyjae  8 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for watching! Ironing it should be fine, if anything the heat should actually help set the dye. The only concern I'd see with ironing it would be if you're using a fabric that doesn't take ironing well, but if it's cotton it'll be just fine. :)

    Great Tutorial! Btw I am planning on dip dyeing my prom dress a little bit, I was wondering if it works if the fabric is already a dark color so I can brighten it up by the end (dark blue which turns into purple, or just lighter blue) and also what kind of materials does it work on?

    Did you use black or purple dye? Also, about how long was each dip cycle, or did you just eyeball it?
    Great video! Thanks a ton!

      +Robert Ipach Thank you! I used Rit navy blue dye - after it dried, it ended up looking more purple. For the dip cycles, I did just eyeball it. As soon as there was a definite difference in color to the level above, I moved on to the next level. The difference in color between each level will be more subtle when the shirt is dry.

    After you do this do you wash the shirt? Will it come off because that will not be nice! Someone tell me!

      +Jorge Angamarca It shouldn't come out, just be sure to follow the instructions on the dye you're using. I used Rit dye and all I had to do was rinse the shirt with hot water, then wash it, and it hasn't come off :)

    That color is awesome, is this a dark blue or blue violet or something?

      The dye was called navy blue, but it came out looking more violet!

    hi! this is a great tutorial video, help me a lot. Btw do you have any tips for using a t-shirt, especially the color won't blend perfectly in arm part because of folds I think. Thanks

      Hi! Thank you very much! I've been trying to figure out a solution for this. You could try dyeing the other end of the shirt (dye the bottom instead of the top) so there wouldn't be as much dye in the arm area.
