A Tie Dyer's Guide To; The REVERSE SPIDER

[dolfi46]

I live in swords co.dublin where could i get the dye cuz i really want to try tie dying but i need die can i use die for like hair or something becuase i really need die

[WolfEchoes]

@dolfi46

You can order these online and pay shipping.

If you find a place over there that seels these, please forward me the detail.

Dharma Trading is a USA supplier.

I get mine from Maiwa Handprints in Vancouver Canada.

I am not so sure Ireland would have the dyes, but England might...

You could try FaceBook's "Addicted To Tie Dying" and ask if anyone found a European supplier of Procion MX dyes...

[Carlarazzi]

I'm not sure if the Procion MX is sold where I live.

I was wondering if I could use normal Dylon dye (that's the only type that I see in the stores - both hot and cold dyes) and put them in bottles and then did the swirl effect? Would that work, or would it just be a mess?

[WolfEchoes]

@Carlarazzi

Hi

Yes, any dye will work fine... but these Procion are super bright and vivid - and you will love them greatly.

They can be picked up by mailorder in USA and Canada, as well as other vendors in Australia and South America.

But any of these folds and spins will work with any dye (or bleach).

[QCpowarr]

@jycfdiugtvktfvkuyhfg beat me to it! :)

[treefacedman]

Mondo Rad!!!!!!! Thank you I am going to start today. What paint should I but?

[SuperCrazyus]

@lisaarcelo101 It really depends on the dye. Look at the box and It will usually say but I usually just do 8 to 14 hours =] if it is something very large like a blanket or something like that a few days should be good!

[CrazyGirl967]

it was funny when he was going around the table

[LisaArcelo101]

does it have to be up to 5 days?

[fingerANDsk8BOARDER]

Whats the song ?:)

[WolfEchoes]

@fingerANDsk8BOARDER

It is Qeen's "Crazy Thing Called Love" done by the Brian Setzer Orchestra...

[littlemanzana13]

Did anyone else notice the little boy in the back? Lol

[BeyondBeautyBuzz]

i live in Colorado

[CRUNKKGLAM]

this is why canadians are the coolest~

[BeGladItsAlmostOver]

Would something like this work if I wanted to tie dye a dress shirt?

[iambeaperalta13]

where can I buy the container of the dye?

[WolfEchoes]

@iambeaperalta13

The dye is Procion MX... Google that for your area.

I get mine in Canada, others get theirs form California (mail order).

Tulip dye kits can be a good way to start too - easier to find.

Check Addicted To Tie Dying on Facebook for other places to buy dye too...

[mpgsix]

That really turned out nice!

[greeneyecassia123]

this song is screwy

[greeneyecassia123]

red... or scarlet, going with yellow oh wait its orange... OGI DONT CARE

[Sleyah]

The thing I love about tie dye is there's really no right and wrong. For someone like me who's not very visually inclined, it's fun to not have to worry about messing something up. Sure you can go for a particular look, but in the end the more creative you get, the better the shirts tend to turn out.

[croatika1]

Where do we buy the color for the tie dye ??

[Sleyah]

@croatika1 I know you can get it in most craft stores...but larger super markets probably have it too. You can usually get the other materials you need, such as rubber bands and dye fixer, as well.

[mmr11027]

Thanks for this video. I wonder about how you avoid mildew since the shirts stay wet for so long.

[hannahandcarly143]

wow!!! soo cool!!! ur really good!(:

[ChouBunny]

can you use food colouring?

[MsSupermacfan]

plz thumbs up so they can see

well do you have to use a type of dye or just one type of brand is the one well witch brand is the best

[MsSupermacfan]

how did i get from scary maze pranks to this who cares i love it

[MicDav23]

@WolfEchoes Do you live in colorado man?

[WolfEchoes]

@MicDav23

Nope, up in Canada, near Calgary Alberta.

Similar environment to Denver...

[MicDav23]

@WolfEchoes That's awesome

[TheoGallagher]

@WolfEchoes Same, lets go have a die party sometime. yeah?

[WolfEchoes]

@TheoGallagher

Yes!!

[TheoGallagher]

@WolfEchoes haha im up for it, i really wanna do this one!

[elenavlada]

@WolfEchoes hey im from edmonton :p

cool vids! im making one for college :)

[joujou890]

@WolfEchoes i would like to know what pot ash does?? do i need a fixing agent. i want to make sure dyes dont run. thanks

[Cbazz83]

Hey there Im curious ... once you've mixed your die can you store whats left in the little bottles? What would the shelf life be if you can! Thank you much for your vids there amazing!

[WolfEchoes]

@Cbazz83

Once these dyes have the soda ash mixed into them, they start to break down and are only good for about 12 hours. But I know many people who mix them without the soda ash, and leave them for a week or more in an airtight bottle. Procion MX dye only becomes permanent and "alive" when you add that soda ash.

You can use the old fully mixed dye later, but after a day, the colour is way less intense, and may not set perfectly... Fresh is best.

THANKS!!

[JesselaPotter]

This is like the seventh tie dye video I've watched , today . I feel like getting started ! It seems fun

[Commonvoice815]

im wondering if you could do the same think with an already colored shirt useing bleach?? would that work out??

[WolfEchoes]

@Commonvoice815

Yes, it can work out awesome.

Reverse Tie-Dye.

[Cloza10]

just use your arm to twist the shirt you flippin fool lol

[WolfEchoes]

@Cloza10

The walking around brings a far tighter spin, especially on larger material.

You will find it superior to the arm twist.

Plus you get a 360 degree view of your room... LOL

I will forever be a spinner, and possibly a fool too... matters not to me. My smile never fades.

[StonerMechEngineer]

omg what a great tutorial, thanks :) ps that song at the end is fantastic!

[Randourum]

Ha! At 1:13 there's a boy in the background just staring at him.

Still, thanks for the tutorial. :D

[MrILiketosnowboard]

so you don't use rubber bands?



[thedoobieman5]

That's interesting, I've never applied dye in spirals I always do wedges. I really like the outcome though I'll have to give this a try.

[SierraJoy13]

Thanks for posting! your videos are very helpful :)

[ganaknigg]

what dies do you use thanks merrcy christmas

[WebkinzCloverPuppie]

If I rinse mine after I have let it set, the colors will fade out. So after I untie my tie dyed shirt, I let it dry out on a hanger. /;

[SixDaysOfUs]

does anyone else see that kid in the background ?

[mstakito]

[skullbones1234]

i really dislike ur shirt that ur waring! RIDERS R BETTER!!!

[hneil13]

hey i was just wnderin where can u buy the dye cheap

[WolfEchoes]

@hneil13

Depends on the location... but if you FaceBook - check out the Addicted To Tie Dying group; as a few folk share ideas on that there in a forum topic.

I mail order mine, but I am in Canada.

I know you can get them on every continment though.

Procion MX dyes...

[Fever655]

@hneil13 walmart has some stuff - the tulip brand is nice

[KingsDominionGeek]

@hneil13

I use Dylon, Tulip or Rit dye to do mine (and my tie dye turn out great!). I get those from Walmart, Hancock Fabric, Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Ben Franklin Crafts

[kingacobra1]

I have piano and percussive songs on my page that I have done. My favorite one that I put up is called "My Path". Come check it out and comment! If you like my stuff, spread my videos around to people you know! I will put knew videos soon. I wrote a song called "Marijuana" and will be putting up a slideshow video soon along with a video of me playing.

Peace,

Caleb

[xoxKatayxox]

I VOTE 5 STARS FOR THE KID WHO CRAWLED IN ;O

[TheFasock]

which is the name of the paint to use?

[WolfEchoes]

@TheFasock

These are PROCION MX dyes... great stuff.

Dharma Dyes are the same type...

[versatilechicken]

@WolfEchoes does the ink you use fade over time?

[TheLittlePiggie]

I only thumbed donw cuz of the shitty version of crazy lttle thing called love, besides cool

[WolfEchoes]

@TheLittlePiggie

LOL... well that is allowed on this big planet - conformity is for the weak!

Brian Setzer is actually very famous and highly respected - but all cool (it can be pretty hard to find acceptable music with all the silly copyrite laws these days).

Thanks for watching - and happy dying to you!

[TheLittlePiggie]

@WolfEchoes haha thanks, I was just kidding about the song.

I tried the dying but it didn't go as i wanted (mostly because y didn't spin well) but it helped me A LOT! Thanks ;D

[genevincent89]

@WolfEchoes Brian Setzer rocks!

[dapperdallas79]

how do you go about drying your shirts after rinsing? i just did 100 shirts with a group of high schoolers and want a way to dry them more efficiently.

[WolfEchoes]

@dapperdallas79

If the dye is well set, and then the shirts are rinsed well after - you should be able to put them in a dryer. The only time that would be a problem is if the shirts were still giving off dye that can set on other shirts they touch as they bump in the dryer. I have hung shirts on every piece of furniture in the past too...

[tdavi1e]

I enjoyed this video, Thanks!

[deglama]

What kind of colour is it that you use?

SOme kind of mix between water and textile-colour?

[WolfEchoes]

@deglama

These are PROCION MX dyes... they are a powder with water mix...

needing Soda Ash and salt to round out the mix.

They are a very bright dye, far supperior to RIT and Dylon types.

Dharma Dyes is also another main supplier of these... but the Procion MX is the actual brand type.

[specialxed401]

wanna make me one? that would be sweet

[ThatUsernameIsTaken4]

Kind of stupid uestion but can you use food dye?

[WolfEchoes]

@ThatUsernameIsTaken4

I think you may find that food dye will fade quickly... but you could.

You could actually dye "flag" material (cotton) with food colors - and then not rinse them out, just hang them. But if they get wet, you mayt see the colors run...

[AngelinaGivola]

I love the music! And it was really helpfull thugh!

[sarettawithaflick]

How do you tie up the t shirt so well, i use rubber bands with string i try gt it tight but keeps popping out and the t shirt goes all loose have to start over again. Any helpful ideas?

[MrCraigary123]

i just bought 3 boxes of rit dye at krogers for about 2$ a box but the boxs have no instructions so could some one post a video on dyeing with rit die

[WolfEchoes]

@MrCraigary123

Hi

Go to FaceBook and post that in the Addicted To Tie Dying group... there will be many answers.

You may try Googling "how to mix Rit dyes"...

I know your answer is out there!!

[1angeleyesblue1]

hahaha he said "and  you can begin your spin" so he started spinning around the table

[keeziedm2]

Great video

[TheErnestocore]

dame una idea mandame las instrucciones para hacer esta camiseta

[kamango25]

[4egymnast]

hi could you please tell me what paintings do you use? 'cause where i live i can only find fabric painting and they're like dense...they're not watery like yours...i was wondering if you mixed those painting with water...please help me!

[WolfEchoes]

@4egymnast

These dyes are Procion MX dyes... you can find them for mailorder to any location (Google search). BUT, I have also wattered down fabric paints and dyed with them. Not as easy, but sometimes possible.

FaceBook site also has some ideas on where to get dyes - in the Addicted To Tie Dying group.

[freewholeEtoes]

This is a great video, thank you very much :)

[023Lexi]

i want to make either a spider or reverse spider tie dyed long sleeve shirt...the problem is i need it the next day (making it friday....need it saturday) is it possible to just let the dye set over night and rinse/wash the following morning?

please reply asap!!! thank you!

[WolfEchoes]

@023Lexi

Probobly too late - sorry; But you can heat the dyed shirt to speed the process.

Tied in the bag, microwaved for thirty seconds each side, then left to cool before rinsing.

You want the shirt to be steamy and hot - but not to boil.

[023Lexi]

@WolfEchoes ok....i already made the shirt and it turn out great thanx to ur video!!! (: and i'm going to make another shirt so i can try the microwave on that(: thanx a ton!!

[hiimkatiee]

i hate the word wedges

[MissVenezuelan]

Hi all , artists : ) . whats the brand of the dye? cause Im in vzla ,helpppp,can i buy it in graphic desing stores???!

[KR3W3131]

plz respond

[smrobison]

wolfechoes! I luv ur videos! Where can I find those bottle tips you use in your dyeing procedures? Im using plain ol condiment bottles & the tip is too short, lumen is too BIG!

[halfblood1000]

what kind of coolers do you use ?

[WolfEchoes]

@halfblood1000

The dye type is PROCION MX... best I have found yet. But any will work for the patterns...

[canetal]

man this look prety coll... i'm eager to try it... just dont know what kind of paint i have to use... is it expensive?

[WolfEchoes]

@canetal

These are a higher end dye, so a bit more expensive.

Start with a kit (which is expensive).

If you like the result, get the better dyes.

Price vary...

[iamLSD1]

BLESS YOU SNEEZER!

[caarottedeschamps]

where do you buy your dye ????????

[WolfEchoes]

@caarottedeschamps

Vancouver, Canada

Maiwa Handprints (they will mail order anywhere).

Look online for their website.

Also Dharma Dyes in the US has an equal product.

Google: Procion MX dyes for sale.

[1516566]

@caarottedeschamps if you live in United States you can buy it at michels :)

[1516566]

@caarottedeschamps if you live in U.S you can buy it at MICHaEL'S

[ThatBrutalKid1]

[hockeygirl789]

[Theirwasonewilly]

[yugariga1254]

[ceffler]

I never knew there were so many awesome ways to do tie dye! These are great videos! Thanks you.

[Ayudac]

Thank you so much for this video. I made my first tie-dye T-Shirt yesterday and it came out GREAT!! At first I was concerned that I wasn't able to apply the color in a straight line like you, but when I rinsed it out I learend that didn't matter. Thanks for making it so easy!!! Great inspiration!

[91zozol]

[ponyhorseboy]

[PO146]

[victoria4554]

What!! 5 days!! Does it have to be that long?

[willifornication]

how is that song called?

[WolfEchoes]

@willifornication

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

(The band QUEEN recorded it first, this is a good cover though).

[stephanieclaire77]

@WolfEchoes can't help but feel like elvis did it first.? 

[iloveukraine1]

bless u

[FlameDesire]

Great video, very helpful. I like how you actually talk us through.

[beggysk8]

where do you get the dye from ?

[WolfEchoes]

@beggysk8

Vancouver, Canada

Maiwa Handprints (they will mail order anywhere). Look online for their website.

Also Dharma Dyes in the US has an equal product.

Procion MX dyes.

[Beatrix986]

great video! very clear instructions! i'll try it right now! but is soda really necessary or can i skip it?.. Bye from italy!! =D

[WolfEchoes]

@Beatrix986

The soda ash is for these Procin MX dyes. Some others will also need it - but RIT and Dylon and the like do not need soda ash.

Not sure if it would help, but it would not hurt at least.

You have to use it for the Procion though - it is what makes the dye permanent and set.

Chow!

[DragonFighter1133]

1:15 what is your son's name

[WolfEchoes]

@DragonFighter1133

Arek (old world spelling of Eric)

[aleiidakasasola]

aaaae¡¡

:)

[JasonStephens1973]

what is soda ash? and why would you use it! Those dyes come as powder right and you mix them with water?

[WolfEchoes]

@JasonStephens1973

They are a powder... but you also add: salt, urea, and the soda ash.

Not all dyes need soda ash - and the urea is an agent that lets the shirt remain moist while the dye works into the fibers.

[tsoccersoxs]

bless you(the kid sneezed)

[KeirWasHere]

big band Queen? respect.

[shanedpc]

that s so sick

[bodiza420]

So I'm guessing you could do the same for a sheet or curtain.. Keep up the awesome work! Peace....

[TheHollisterandAE]

bless u kid in the bck who sneeed

[CubensisAtiv4Strings]

whats the name of that kind of paint that u use man?...that looks really good!!

saludos from méxico! x D

[WolfEchoes]

These are PROCION MX dyes... similar to DHARMA dyes. I heard Grateful Dyes are also equal...

These stay nice and bright and vivid...

[GetBackJack123]

Do you start out with wet shirts? Soaked in soda ash?

[WolfEchoes]

Damp shirts (spin dry in wash).

I like to add soda ash to the rinse cycle...

[superflytiedye]

you should check out some of my shirts!

[ungredda4]

do you wash them by hand or can you put them in them in the washing machine?

[WolfEchoes]

I rinse them in the sink first, a fair bit.

Then I put them in the wash machine.

There is always dye runoff, so sink rinsing first is a good idea...

[mookiemouse1234]

what kind of die do u use? cause i want to make some shirts and i know food coloring and kool-aid dont work extremely well so i need to know what i can use for the best result

[WolfEchoes]

These dyes are PROCION MX dyes. But any dye will work with these folds and spins - even water based fabric paint watered down.

Dylon, Rit... those are pretty common, but they will not produce the same intensity of colour.

Procion MX can be mail ordered anywhere in the world should you be wanting...

[joshuacurtisswenson]

does the shirt not stain as well if you use fans to dry it and only let it dry for a few hours?

[WolfEchoes]

These dyes need time or heat to set the dye. You can microwave or steam the shirt a bit, then rinse it - that will work. But waiting two days minimum tied in plastic is the best way.

Other dyes work differntly - some are set as soon as they touch the material (usually hot dyes).

[CobaltRot]

well idk if im crazy or not but i never made a tie dye shirt but i used acrylic paints mixed with water and just dipped it in a bowl. it worked perfectly so im just gonna do that for a while

[WolfEchoes]

That is a cool way to dye.. and is the "original" style of dying. This style in the video I have always called "injection dying"... they both produce awesome results though.

Happy dying!

[sampolo77]

can i use a food colouring for this? btw it look so coool!!

[WolfEchoes]

Food colouring might wash out too quickly and not actually stain the material - but it can be done for sure.

There were dyes in the past we would make "flags" and sheets with, which we would never rinse out or wash - just hang on a wall.

Food colouring would work for that, but not for a shirt you want to wear out...

[Mandeee3]

Can you do a spider with just one color? What would it look like?

[WolfEchoes]

You can do that... and it will look alright. You can dye the shirt without putting the spider part in as well - looks good too.

I add the extra middle actual spider in darkest, just so it shows up well - but it does not have to be so prominant. It can be any colour, or just a part of the full dye - not a special added part...

[elsubestimado]

How is the consistency of the die has to be? Thick? more Liquid? Or it doesn't matter? Thank you.

[WolfEchoes]

These dyes are pretty much equal to water. I would say you want a dye to penetrate the material easily...

A thicker dye might not penetrate or seep/mix enough.

I have tried fabric paint for tie dying, but we watered them down alot.

[j3tsKi94]

does any dye work?

it just has to be fabric dye right?

[WolfEchoes]

Any dye will work, yes. But some dyes make a huge difference for brightness and quality finish. I have tried all I have found, even watered down fabric paint... if you can find a great dye - stick with it only.

[teentitansrock88]

bless you ( i've been tought to say that when some one sneezes)

[DJGrumpyMIX]

lol scarlett thats my doughter name

[skate97midget]

can you do one on how to do a peace sign?

[UnMelonGrande]

this video was soooo boring!

[WolfEchoes]

LOL

Still better than algebra...

[meshotcaller]

where do you get the die and what is it called?

[WolfEchoes]

These are Procion MX dyes.

Dharm Dyes are also this type.

Go to FaceBook's "Addicted To Tie Dying", there are a few posts on getting these types of dye.

[kiids0n1c324]

wut is he using to die the shirt in those bottles

[WolfEchoes]

Thta is just the dye mixture. The bottle lets you control the flow better.

[CapricornianFish]

thanks for the tip ^_^

[mikeoxhuge]

your colors in the video do not lay out the same in the shirt at the end?

can we see the shirt that you made in the video?

[WolfEchoes]

Which shirt in particular...

[AuckNZskater]

hey ive tried dipping it into a container of dye but not this way, which way is better would you say

[WolfEchoes]

Both ways are totally different results.

Do both!

To get the defined spider, you need the thin center dark lines.... anything else is open and good...

[rockpaperskizors]

hi I really love ur vids, but do u know how to make flowers dye coz i want to make kimono for nxtyr festival hre in jpn.tnx

[picklebongferyew]

if you didnt fold it in half, and just kept winding it up, and then dyed it, would you get the same result as one of the halves, on the entire shirt?
