I just got the tulip neon kit it makes all the colors of the rainbow and comes out amazing! I used about 50% cotton and 50% polyester shirts and the colors faded a little bit so I suggest to use 100% cotton for more vivid colors. I also got to excited and unwrapped mine after 8 hours normally for the color to come out the best leave in for 24 hours (: I suggest you do the DIY videos with a damp shirt just so people know it works best and also show the end result.
@321haylee The wash cycle is to make sure that excess dye is removed completely. If all excess dye can be removed by rinsing (rather than laundering) with hot water, it’s OK, too.
@Nutss329 Yes, after you're finished dying both sides, wrap them in plastic to set for 6-8 hours. Then you rinse the garment until the water runs clear, and put it through a wash cycle at the hottest temperature for the fabric you used to permanently set the color. It will stay vibrant washing after washing!
to you have to do the other side once the first side dries in the bag because i did this once and i only did one side and it jsut looked like i played paintaball in it. please answer
@chelseaschannel2 Once you’re done dying the front side, you can flip it over and begin dying the other side. You can flip it over onto a couple paper towels to keep the dye from bleeding out.
@chelseaschannel2 Yes, if you want the dyed look on both sides, you flip it over and repeat on the back, then wrap it in plastic. It doesn't have to dry between the front and the back. You can read more instructions and tips here at our website at ilovetocreate[dot]com
While these videos do give you a good basic idea of what you should be doing, they leave it short of information so you have to do alot of discovery (which is a fun things!) . For those that dont want to do a TON of trial and error, i would suggest checking out some other videos which show you their finished products as well as the full techniques to make each article of clothing. HAs anyone used their Dyes yet?
What's the point of even showing the process if you're not going to show the actual shirt you did?? Instead you show one similar. No 2 shirts are going to come out the same so it's pointless to show the color and amount of dye you put on a particular shape if you're not going to show the end result. And if I'm not mistaken, the measly amount of dye you're putting on the shirt comes nowhere NEAR looking like or having the coverage of the shirt you show at the end. Waste of time!!
@cardsbytootsie We have lots of step-by-step projects on our ilovetocreate site. Good point about showing the finished shirt, thanks for letting us know!

Okay, so if I have a tie dye shirt, and I make letters with a stencil and fabric paint spray, will it show up.?

@gothicjade0202 Sure, just choose colors that will contrast. It's an easy way to layer designs, too!

before you start the process can you jut easily soak your shirt in water for an hour or so?
sourstraw16 9 months ago
@sourstraw16 As long as your garment is wet, it will absorb the dye. It doesn't have to soak for an hour...

do you really need to put it in through a wash cycle at the hottest temperature? can i just put it in hot water?

Do you rinse and wash them when you're done?

works better if the shirt is damp

@froghunter13 Yes, the dye absorbs best into wet fibers.

i hate tie-dying.
poniezrule83 1 year ago
@poniezrule83 Why's that? You don't like the process? You can even just scrunch it up and dye it, if you don't like to rubber band it up.
