*this dude is a legend- this turned out perfect! and he’s still replying to comments 8 months later* 😂
Thank you and yes I get in here at least a couple times a week to answer questions :-)
MrTieDye 🔥👌🏿
I've learned so much from Mr. Tie Dye and still learning. Love his work
I just now subscribed because this comment made me realize I'm beehind
DUDE HOW IS IT SO PERFECT
Thank you and it comes from lots of practice ... I have been dyeing for almost 20 years now
Wow...
@@soobngoobr thank you
He’s a pro.
Oh my goodness it looks so easy when you do it I'm going to do this tomorrow the first time with a hoodie and I'm soo excited 🌻 thanks for this video !
you are welcome ... have fun!!
@@MrTieDye it soaks in now and it doesn't looks that bad tomorrow I'm gonna open it 😅
N.B. How did it come out?
N.B. How did it come out?
how did it turn out?
I tie dyed my first hoodie yesterday, gloves are important, my hands are now blue 😂
Great job! and yes gloves can be quite handy while dyeing... it will wear off in a couple days
You made a great point about having the front on bottom. It is all flat. Learning as much as I can. My first two shirts didn’t go that well. Thank you for some helpful information.
you are welcome, I try to share what I do and why as that can be helpful as well ... have fun and keep practicing and you will continue to see improvement.... oh and take photos so you can look back 😉✌🏻
looks beautiful! I like the way you are easy to follow and don't assume we know what we are doing. Because I have no idea but I do now ! Thank you
thank you and you are welcome.... I have been doing tie-dye events in schools for 16 years so I think that set me up perfectly to create these videos as I am used to explaining everything I am doing :)
I like your videos too. You sure do make it look easy. I always feel like I'm doing it wrong.
Thank you so much I found this on Google. This is the most detailed video I've seen. The laying everything flat and smoothing the creases helps so much. Thank you! 💗 ❤️💜💗❤️💜🥰🥰🥰
You're very welcome!
Thank you Carl, you are my favorite UA-cam tie dye instructor/professor
You are welcome 🙏 I am glad to be of help to you
@@MrTieDye ❤️
Great video.home with the kids during this pandemic.we love tie dye and we love you’re pieces 🍄
Thank you and you are welcome... I am glad to be of help and inspiration... and I love to see other people have success with art
I’m just beginning and it helps me open my creative side once again 💜💜
I am glad to be of help and or Inspiration ... and yes I agree, I think this or any other art opens our creative side/Right Brain ... and having success brings Joy to me and I am sure it is the same for others ... have fun and ask questions if you need to .... and if you are on FB, check out some of the tie-dye groups... here is one that a follower of mine started : facebook.com/groups/679613486032306
HE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY. I FOLLOWED HIS VIDEOS FOR THE SINGLE SPIRAL AND THE DNA SPIDER. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM WAITING FOR THE DYE TO SET IN. THEN I WILL RINSE AND SEE IF I'M A GOOD STUDENT.
yeah that comes from many years of practice... and I am sure yours will look great, and if not, then your next one will with a little tweaking ... that is what tie-dye is all about :-) I wish you success and thank you
Great videos. You are the best shirt and hoodie folder I have ever seen.
Wow, thank you! I do love what I do and helping other have success is my goal
Love all your tie dyes. You have been a huge inspiration to me. I've learned so much from you as well.
Thank you so much and you are welcome... I love to help other have success with this art ✌🏻❤️🙏
So awesome, I like to see just a little more of the white to break up some of the colors in my tie dyes. anyone else?
Thank you and yes, I to love to see white.... sometimes ..... here is a hoodie I did with white in mind, as well as a few other things lol : ua-cam.com/video/4ZmglfOn0Dc/v-deo.html
Wow, great stuff. I also emailed your website yesterday asking for insight on the business side of things. Any info is appreciated. I am trying to transform my career to artist and would love to start in tie dying.
Omg this guy is literally tie dye GOALS!!!!!!!!! Amazing! Wow!!!!!!
thank you and you are welcome .. have fun and check out some of my playlists ;-)
I absolutely agree!! I aspire to such greatness, no joke! Amazing skills here!
I am a high school Performing Arts teacher who is now, like everyone else teaching remotely. I am ending my year with a 3 week unit on music festivals. So happy to find these videos and will be linking to you in my slide shows. Hope my kids watch you. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us.
That is awesome, thank you for linking to my videos and you are welcome ... I wish you success in your course ... I love to see other people have success with this art!!
Im going to make this...Nephews Birthday is June 4, 21...I have time...love it...He lives in Hoodies, but doesnt have a tye dye kind...heehee...my supplies come in on Monday.
Thank you , you inspire me. -Lael in Cali
Awesome... have fun and I wish you success!!
Your work is absolutely AMAZING! I have recently got into to doing my own tie dye (been wearing it for years) as well as using the process as a way to connect with and build up the youth and families I work with! Thank you so much for being a bright light in this dark time! ❤💙💚💛🧡💜
I’m going to tie dye my hoodie because of what corona is making me do !🤣
have fun dyeing your hoodie :)
omg
same!!!
Lol my son too
Chloe Brewington yeah same 😂😂
Is the hoodie wet when u dye it? Is it necessary to make the hoodie in wet condition then u put the dye into it?
Thank you so much for sharing your expertice. I am new to this, but as an artist, I found that my sculpting tools are very helpful with making the spirals lay down. You use a manicure tool, but sculting tools have lots of different angles and metal ballpoints that get into the creases well.
You are so welcome! and wow, I will have to look into some sculpting tools... I love to find new tools to use :-)
I think it would be cool to sell these items as merch ! That way someone could see something they like and see how u did it and be able to purchase it ! I would buy !
Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing
you are welcome 🙏
You’re fantastic, and thank you so much for educating me! You are definitely a great teacher!
Thank you and You are so welcome ... Have fun Creating!! ✌🏻🙏💚💚
Thank you! I am learning so much from you! My favorite videos!

You are welcome, I am Glad it was helpful! ✌🏻🙏
I love the design!!!!!
thank you 🙏
@@MrTieDye oh my gosh you read and responded to my comment!!!!! That's awesome!!!!! I'm going to have to rewatch and write down how to make this myself
Thanks a lot man! I decided in my last minute Christmas rushing to tie dye a hoodie and a few tshirts for gifts to be given TOMORROW...AND I've never done it before lol🤦♀️ ...I may be up all night doing this but I'm going to get it done! Of all the videos I've watched the past couple days yours honestly seems to be the most sound and experienced advice! I so appreciate you posting! Great content!!! I may just have to subscribe!
I plan on doing a lot more in the near future if these come out well possibly to sell and gift😊✌
I just have a one-step tulip tie dye kit so I'm shortening the processing time. Hopefully that doesn't effect the outcome badly
that is awesome, I am glad to be of help to you... Hopefully you had some great results!! But, just in case they were light in color, it could be from shortening the processing (Batching) time .... I leave mine for a minimum of 24 hours with a temp of 70F ... BUT, I prefer to leave mine for 48 hours with some heat added.
As for the Tulip Kits, one other thing that will help improve the colors is to mix the dyes right before you use them as the soda ash is mixed in the dye powder, so the dyes are active as soon as water is added.
Also, adding less water will make the colors a bit darker, and doing a soda ash soak even though it does not call for it will help your colors.
Peace Love Light & Laughter to you ~ Carl

Im doing a tie die hoodie bc i love hoodies
awesome... have fun and I wish you success!!
I think I’m going to try this out
Have fun and I wish you success!
So cool-who knew-kite string? Enjoying your videos so going to try dyeing today!
Thank you for your time and attention to detail. It is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. 💪🏻❤️😎
Ever accidentally dyed your beard?
Not yet 😂
why was this the first thing i thought of when i clicked the video? guess i wasnt alone haha
A rubberband i used broke and sprayed my face with dye...i had no idea how much green it was until my brother said my hulk cosplay was trash(we were dying shirts for school and team colors green)
Trying this out tomorrow!
Have fun and I wish you success!!
I bought a white hoodie at goodwill yesterday and I’m going to do that today!!! So excited!!
Lovin the beard Mr. TieDye!!
thank you :-)>>>
I just finished my first hoodie tie dye. I needed your video for help. Great video
Glad I could help! I wish you success!!
Thanks for your tutorials! Did my first hoodies. Came out awesome except for the white spaces picked up a little color but that was my inexperience. Would post pictures if I could.
You are welcome, I love to help other have success with this art and yes I wish photos could be shared here on UA-cam.... but I do have a FB and IG account where people tag me in photo 😉✌️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am learning so much!
Going to try tie dying my lab coat and figured it'll probably be more similar to a hoodie than a t-shirt. It's 100% cotton so it should be able to absorb the dye fairly easily but I'm still a bit nervous. Wish me luck!
I wish you success in your creation!! and have fun!! ✌🏻🥳
thank you so much for this info! I am about to tie dye a hoodie for the first time!
You're so welcome, I am gad to be of help... have fun and I wish you success!!
You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!
you are welcome
Thank you!! I sell Merch at MSG and any artist that brings tie dye clothes always sells the most and for the most money. I bought him a Dead and Company shirt that ran me $50 when they came. So now I bought a $12 hoodie and plan on making him one myself. Hopefully it turns out okay lol.
Edit: I commented before I seen it finished. Omg that hoodie is beautiful! I’m a sucker for turquoise! It’s so stunning.
you are welcome and thank you... I love to create with tie-dye.... and MSG ... Madison Square Garden?? that is awesome.... and I a sure you will do awesome.... main thing is to open the creases and check for white spots... oh and cotton content... I have found Gildan hoodies that are 80/20 and Hanes that are 90/10 and then both dye up great... I wish you success!! Have fun!!
MrTieDye Hi, yes Madison Square Garden. It’s a pretty cool job. I can’t complain. I’ve gotten to listen and see pretty cool concerts on the clock lol. So, I ended up trying it out with a t-shirt first. It came out so nice. He really loved it. Thank you so much. Seriously, I just followed your instructions and it worked out. ❤️ I just did it yesterday. Do you soak the shirts in soda ash prior to? I didn’t with this because I have none on hand at the moment. But I’m wondering if I should with the hoodie.
Thank you sir. Very cool 😎
I'm browsing ideas for my hood
Have fun!
Love the way it turned out
thank you
Albany is my hometown! Does it still stink bc of the paper mill? Ha ha. You have helped me huge, thank you so much for making these vids. ✌🏻
I always do inside out when using a marker, JIC.
I do to on tee shirts, but since the inside of the hoodies are poly, I dye them right side out just in case as I do not want the dye to slosh around to much before it hits the cotton.... so I use lighter color markers on hoodies
Wow! That’s turned out amazing! I would buy that 😍 thanks for the video it was perfectly detailed and explained👌🏽
Thanks so much! 😊 and you are welcome :) .... and this one was a custom order, but I do some custom work ;-)
Best tie dying vid I've seen, really helpful. thanks dude 🙏
Thank you, glad to be of help. And you are welcome... have fun!!
Thank you for sharing 😊 I'm going to tie die my hood. I had no idea how to do this.
Love your videos very helpful keep doing what you’re doing!!
Thanks so much! and yes I plan to continue as long as there is interest :-) and you are welcome
Very nice. I love the color!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hell yeah dude! Thanks for the material!
You are welcome :) 🙏
This is a great video man!! Thank you!!
Thank you and you are welcome 🙏
Mr. Tie dye, can you make a rainbow pastel hoodie tie dye swirl? I’ve always wanted to make one myself but I’m unsure how. Thanks!!
Are you wanting to place an order for one?? if so, then you can message me here: m.me/CarlMrTieDye
Or if you are wanting to know how, then I would tie it up the same way as this one... and then for your colors... you just need to mix them very light to get the pastel.... if you already have dyes mixed up at full strength, then yo can mix your pastel dyes from them .... just fill a bottle about 3/4 full of water and add the rest with your dye, do this for each color ..... I do not have exact measurements for this, I just mix on the fly ...
or if you are mixing the pastel colors directly from powders, I would use about 1/4 the amount of dye (once again, this is a starting point, not an exact, as I do not do pastels very often)
Thankyou so much!!! I will totally be doing this, you’re the best!!
Can’t wait to try mr tie dye pls send tips
This helps a lot
awesome... have fun... as for tips, I cover a lot in the video, but the main thing is to take your time twisting it up to get you pleats to lay next to each other and not stacked up, then they take a lot of dye, so after I dye the hoodie, I open the cracks and look for white spots and add more dye where needed
Thanks a lot I didn’t think anybody was help
If you respond again can you make a video on just how to make the spiral part
But pls do it slower
Professional....
💥👌💥
thank you
It's beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video man, that was super helpful, thank you!!
Thank you mr 👍👍🙏🙏
Awesome! I’m excited to try this!
Thank you and have fun .... remember to keep checking all of the creases for white spots and use lots of dye
Love to you, Carl!
Love how this hoodie turned out. That blue has to be one of my favorite colors. What are your thoughts on reverse dying a hoodie?
it is more work due to the thicker fabric, but yes it works, I have only done one hoodie and one Carhart Coat... both started out black and then I removed color, then I rinsed and washed them and then tied agin and then added color.....
if you use Out or Rit to remove color, you can also tie with sinew, and remove color, rinse really well and then soak and dye ... here is my Black Tees playlist where I show how I use Out, Rit, Bleach and Decolourant :ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuobKZarvDxELVgQCO25elQr.html
Great job 🙌
Thank you! Cheers!
LOVE THIS
thank you
Sweet hoodie! You’re awesome! 👍
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Nice monk reference!:)
LOL... thanks... I love that show :-)
Nice... thank you.
thank you for the videos, I usually just watch, no sound, so I'm wondering about rinsing and how long the items should sit before pulling off the rubber bands and/or string TIA
I rinse mine in cold water to start to rinse away the soda ash and then I remove the bands and turn up to warm and continue to rinse until the water starts to run semi clear, then I toss in the washer, which I have filled half way with hot water and synthrapol soap (some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish soap as it to is pH neutral) here is a video that shows my process : ua-cam.com/video/t0M_nstKkjM/v-deo.html
and I batch my tees for a minimum of 24 hours at 70F, but I prefer to leave mine for 48 hours with some extra heat, I stack these tubs next to a heater vent, or set out in the sun : ua-cam.com/video/SvhwNQbhZJA/v-deo.html
I hope this helps and you are welcome 🙏
@@MrTieDye thank you for replying so quickly, I'm planning on making several shirts for summer (the four I have are about 10 years old now and need replacing), I did find your beginner video after I wrote this last night, I thought it'd be a quick process, but since we won't be seeing summer weather any time soon, that's ok, tyvm for the info

He's the Man for well done good at making tie dye Spirals of Hoodies - and what your names for Light Blue and Light Purple 😘
thank you 🙏
Andddd another question, I find that with some of my darker colors I get more clumps on my shirts... I just use the shake method when mixing my dyes with water... do I need to mix the darker dyes differently? They will either put little dots on the shirt or they will clog up the hole and I'll have to take if off and put it in water to clear up the hole then continue dying!
PS- thanks for being so awesome and answering my millions of questions all the time! You're seriously my biggest inspiration and tie dye guru I look up to!! I
I paste my dye up by adding just a little water in a mixing cup and mashing it up with a plastic spoon before adding the rest of the water. Also colors with red or fuchsia are super difficult to dissolve and you can invest in a cheap immersion blender to mix them. Mr Tie Dye has an awesome video on dye mixing if you go back through his videos. He uses an immersion blender and it saves a lot of time.
Thank you Diana
this is so nice
Thank you :-)
Have you done a heart on a hoodie? You make this look so easy. I have done several hoodies and you made this one look way easier than what I've been doing LOL my hands are very small so I find it hard to wrap them just like you said but I did find it easy for me to use a fork and the middle and you can keep the fork standing up and it holds your spiral. I made the mistake of flipping one inside out last night and I just rinsed it out it's in the washing machine but I don't think it's going to turn out right.
Very helpful
Glad it helped 🙏✌🏻
Quarantine got me inspired for tie dye fun and I’ve been really wanting to do a hoodie. Does it matter the percentage of cotton? And what brand do you usually go for when dying hoodies?
Awesome... and yes cotton content does matter... the dyes I use only work on natural fibers and poly does not take these kind of dyes... and I think it is the same with most of the kits too ... I use Hanes Ultimate Hoodies and they are 90/10 cotton/poly
What type of dye do you use? Are the gloves due to toxicity of the dye or to prevent dying your hands?
I use fiber reactive Procion dyes ..... www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html and yes I use the gloves mostly to keep me from having colored hands .... but I am sure it is safer to not be exposed to the dye as well
Is it better to tie dye when the item is wet or dry? I’m making tie dye hoodies for me and my boyfriend for our anniversary. 😊
I find it much easier to tie them while they are slightly damp ... have fun!!
Where do you get your white hoodies from
I buy mine wholesale from sanmar.com, but you need a business license or a registered business name to buy from them
I have seen them on jiffyshirts.com
and I have purchased direct from hanes.com as well... these are the Hane Ultimate Cotton Hoodies and are 90/10
Awesome shirt man as always.! Questions: do you wet the shirts before? To achieve bolder and darker colors do you let them "marinate" longer? And do you rinse and then wash? First time "dyer" here
Thank you ... and yes, I do a presoak in soda ash with my cotton tees/hoodies and then I spin out the excess so the tee is just barely damp when I fold it and when I dye it... the soda sh is what activate the Procion Dyes I use. and then after I dye it, I place it in a tub with a lid to keep it wet while it batches... I leave mine to sit for 48 hours and I stack the tubs next to a heater vent so they get some heat while they batch... this does help make the colors darker or brighter ... a good minimum time is 24 hours at a minimum temp of 70F. ..... and I see you found my Beginner's Video, I have a playlist with several videos to help get you started : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo.html
Is it possible for me to bleach a black hoodie white and then tie dye it blue and white? The black hoodie also has a white design on the front , will it get damaged ?
I am not sure if you can get all of the color out of it with bleach... most times they go to a orangy brown color... but each one is different..... and I do not know about how the bleach will affect the decal
Have you ice dyed a hoodie? I will be doing hoodies for my first time this weekend. I generally enjoy ice dying t shrits, so was wondering how it may differ to ice dye hoodies.
yes I have done a couple with ice and they turned out great... I think with the thick fabric, hoodies were made to be ice dyed... so go for it.... I think a couple of them I flipped over and added a bit more dye to the bottom, but the one in the muck did not need flipping
@@MrTieDye music to my ears! Thanks! I enjoy the muck, so now I am even more stoked to try out my first set of hoodies. Do you know anything about the 50/50 cotton blend?
I've done shirts but I'm working on the hoodies I'm better at shirts so far lol i do my shirts tho with the same patterns he uses!
yeah tees are easier, but if you take your time and check the creases for white spots, hoodie can be awesome... have fun!!
@@MrTieDye thanks for the advice I've not tried a hoody yet I've got my shirts down tho!
@@samanthapaulinehardin7640 you are welcome
What would happen if you soak a shirt in soda ash but you're just using like a standard store tie-dye kit, like tulip or something. Instead of those hardcore Dharma ones. Will it even do anything?
The Soda ash will help some of the kits.... Tulip is one of them ... I think they are made from Procion dye and have soda sh in with the dye powder, but probably not enough .... so when you pre soak tees in soda ash, you will get better colors from some of these one step kits .... also, a longer batch time will help.... I leave mine for 48 hours with added heat .... I batch mine in tubs with lids so they stay wet, but the heat builds as I set them in the sun or stack next to a heater vent : ua-cam.com/video/SvhwNQbhZJA/v-deo.html
So, if you have soda ashram I say use it and it will give you better colors
I have a big white sweater with a colorful logo in the middle will it still work without affecting it?
What is best place to get hoodies, and the tie dye color from any suggestions?
Just looking to do a couple for myself and my husband. Maybe family.
Thank you.
Loved the video. My question is, Do you have to keep the hoodie wet and how long doses the dye last. I heard the dye is only good for 45 minutes.
After I dye the hoodie, I put it in a tub with a lid so it stays wet, if it dries out, then the dye stops bonding... so in a tub with a lid, or some people cover with plastic or put in a plastic bag. here is how I do mine : ua-cam.com/video/SvhwNQbhZJA/v-deo.html
And, I use fiber reactive Procion dyes, after mixing with water, they are good for 2-3 weeks, and even longer if you store in a fridge.... but after the 2-3 weeks, they will still work, the just come out lighter.... so I write the date on my bottles when I mix the dye ... then at the 2-3 week mark, I will add another scoop of dye and blend again.... but I try to use up the dye this time round
here is my Beginner's Playlist, it has many tie-dye tips and tricks in there : ua-cam.com/play/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo.html
Omg amazing
thank you
mine looks like a BLOB. you’re incredible
it will get better with practice :-) and thank you... I love to help people have success .... but yeah hoodies are a bit more difficult to fold and dye than a tee :-) I wish you success on your next one .... as for the blob, you can soak it in soda ash, tie it up again and do an over dye on it ..... ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
I got tie dye kid today coz it's my bithday and me and my mum were struggling nd still coz it's a thic jumper
yeah the thicker fabrics just take more patience with the folding, but especially the dyeing .... after I dye the hoodie, I go back and use a cuticle pusher to open the creases and check for white areas and add more dyes where needed
@@MrTieDye ok thanks for the tip
Would this work on a light gray hoodie??? Thanks for the video it's really great!
yes, you can add darker colors to it... the main thing is that the hoodie is mostly cotton as the Procion dyes do not work on poly ... have fun!!
What kind of colors did you putting it while you're making it a cool spiral on a Hoodie tee. 🤔🤘✌🏽✌🏽
What percentage of cotton must the hoodies have to pigment well?
I like to dye stuff that is at least 80% cotton ... the hoodies I use are Hanes Ultimate Cotton hoodies and are 90/10 ... I buy mine wholesale from sanmar.com, but they can also be found on jiffyshirts.com and in the past, I bought direct from Hanes.com
How would one add a logo to this without the color? I’m trying to add a logo to the left breast area and then tye dye the hoodie. Suggestions?
what kind of logo?? is it screen print? Dye? Fabric Paint?? ........ for me, when I am going to add a logo or something, I prefer to tie-dye it first and then add it.... screen prints and fabric paint will look much fresher if added at the end of the process, otherwise, the logo will need to go through a few washes after the tie-dyeing .... and then is can look a bit worn
if you are doing a dye painting of your logo and it is not going to be black, then you can tie off an area for you logo, bag it and leave it white.... then do you tie-dye, batch, wash, and then prep your white spot by either dunking in soda ash or spraying it... then dye you logo .....
those are the ways I Would do it.... but if I misunderstood your question, or you have more details for me, you can start a new question rather than reply as I do not see the replies readily .... just refer to this question so I can be on the same page again 😉✌🏻
ooo yeah!
thank you
Do you presoak your hoodies before dying or apply the dye to dry fabric?
10:42 *the forbidden pizza*
LOL yep :)
Please why did you soak in soda ash cos here in Nigeria I only learnt to drip the cloth in water first and then drip the cloth in a mixture of dye, caustic soda & hydrosulpite
I use a Fiber Reactive Procion Dye and the soda ash is what activates the dyes for me .... so I think it is just a different process due to different dyes 😉✌🏻
You said the front spiral will look better than the back. Is that because it’s a thick hoodie or is that true for all shirts? I was told I need 100% cotton. I have lots of tie dye from Thailand Bali but it’s not %100 because it’s stretchy. How do they dye those types of garments? My friend told me she wanted to tie dye a hoodie and this is perfect. Thanks for your knowledge 🙏🏽
I think the front looks better because I put that side down when I twisted it, so the pleats line up nicely on the front ... and this hoodie is a Hanes Ultimate Cotton Hoodie, it is 90/10 cotton/poly ... and it dyed up great.... when I look for items, I prefer 100% cotton when I can find it, but I like to have at least 80% cotton for the best colors.... so many fabrics will have a little bit of spandex in them and this is fine .... once you get down to a 50/50 blend, then only half of the fiber are holding dye, so it then looks a bit muted or faded... but even this is not bad, some people prefer this look .... so if you find a blend on something, do not let the number hold you back from dyeing it...
@@MrTieDye 🙏🏽 Thank you so much !
