iLoveToCreate Tulip Fashion Dye Ombre Technique

[kyknmk]

Omg thank you sooo much!! I've been looking for something like this for ages! I have got dye a piece of fabric yellow, orange and red and they have got to fade into each other like the sunset. Any ideas of how to do it? I was going to use your technique and change colours up to a certain point (if you know what I mean...)

[DuncanCrafts]

@kyknmk Sounds pretty! I would do a test swatch so you can see how far the colors will bleed into any open area between colors before they overlap. That will give you more control. Good luck!

hey can i use opposite colors?? i need to dye a fabric green and the tips red but im not sure how to do it

[DuncanCrafts]

The spray technique would work great! I would suggest they spray the lining with water first, place a few paper towels underneath the lining to soak up any extra dye and just spray! Set time is between 4-6 hours. I would rinse it out in warm water and then wash in warm water as well.

Would the spray technique work if I just want to dye a certain part of a jacket (the lining of my jacket) a certain color? The lining of my jacket is light grey, and becomes discolored over time. The outside of the jacket still looks brand new, and is made of 100% polyester, so I'm sure the dye won't. The lining, however, is 95% cotton and 5% polyester and I want to dye it black using this spray technique. Any tips?

Thank you

no offense, but the shades doesn't seem to softly change. you can actually see the lines. i wonder if there is any other technique which can also achieve gradual change in color?

[ShootForMars]

@solihinusman You can use this method, but then with your hand (and gloves, obviously) rub the lines away. I didn't spray the ombre shirt I did, I just used the squeeze bottle, but I found that If you use your hand to rub the dye into the shirt, it fades PERFECTLY.

I can barely hear you over this annoying LOUD music, and I'm 18, if even I'll say it's loud, it's really loud xD

Good tutorial though! I plan to dye some kimono sleeves soon with a white to red fade.

[applevanilla256]

Hey I was just wondering do u have to spray the back too? or does the dye just soak through to the back of the shirt?

[DuncanCrafts]

@applevanilla256 Good question! Yes, when spraying and dying, you do apply it both to the front and the back for nice even coverage.

[XCavaleX]

what's with the music?

[iKnowDaMuffinManYea]

This is cool. I have a question though. Once you're done with your shirt (or whatever you're dying) can you keep and store the leftover dye and use it later or do you have to throw it away and buy another later?

[DuncanCrafts]

@iKnowDaMuffinManYea It's best to use the dye right away for the best color.

[ShinsengumiGirl]

@DuncanCrafts Wow that looks easier than I thought, I am making roses swim dress from titanic, and it is ombre dyed also, I would like to know if you can use this technique on chifon fabric.

[DuncanCrafts]

@ShinsengumiGirl If the chiffon is a silk or rayon chiffon, our Tulip One-Step Fashion Dyes work beautifully! If it's a nylon chiffon, not so much. The natural fibers let the dye sink in, where the synthetic fibers resist the dye. Hope this helps! Would love to see what you make!

Cool

[kaiROXmyWorld]

did u use cold water or hot water?

[DuncanCrafts]

@kaiROXmyWorld It can be regular tap water, doesn't have to be too hot or too cold for our Tulip One-Step Fashion Dyes. Our Tulip Permanent Fabric Dyes do require steaming hot water--just follow the packaging directions for the best results.

[SassyGirI]

Yeah one question how you can use it on lycra or polyester? Does it work so well as with another fabrics?

[DuncanCrafts]

@SassyGirI Sorry, the dye doesn't absorb into lycra or polyester fibers as well as a cotton blend. You could test it on a small piece to make sure enough dye holds in the fabric, but we don't recommend it for those fabrics.

[SassyGirI]

@DuncanCrafts

Hey. Thanks for the answer. Can you recommend any Tulip-Dye working on Lycra / Polyester ?

[DuncanCrafts]

@SassyGirI You can definitely use our Tulip Fabric Sprays and Tulip Soft Fabric Paint on Lycra and Polyester, depending on what you want to create. You can read about them on our ilovetocreate website.

[ashcinta1]

does it run in the wash or is it permanent?

[DuncanCrafts]

@ashcinta1 Since you let it set after you dye it, the dye soaks into the fibers. It is permanent and the colors don't fade. Give it a try and let us know how it comes out!

[XxMizVaderrxX]

To spray both sides you could simply hand the shirt using closepins after you dye the first side

[eastbeach99]

It would be helpful if you show how you manage to spray both sides during the process. Thanks.

[bluethyme]
