How to Create Tulip Tie Dye Heart

[11109sarahhhkitty]

Works a lot better if you get the t-shirt wet first.

[MsSupermacfan]

@11109sarahhhkitty thats what she said

[artsmart2]

@briannafalkers You flip the shirt over, and repeat the color combos on the other side. This gives you color all around the shirt. Hope this helps!

[yiyin1996]

do you need to use a fixer? otherwise the colour will fade?

[DuncanCrafts]

@yiyin1996 You don't need a separate fixer to set the color. Once you're finished dying, let your project set for 4-6 hours to let the dye bond with the fabric fibers. Then wash separately. That's all you need to do!

[makeupLele]

where can you get the dye that you were using in the video?

[DuncanCrafts]

@makeupLele The Tulip One-Step Fashion Dyes are carried at all the major crafts stores, including Michaels, Joann Stores, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby, etc. We also have it on our website at ilovetocreate[dot]com!

At wa

[sammieloves2laugh]

Will this work only using one color? Like just pink?

[DuncanCrafts]

@sammieloves2laugh Sure, you can also use only 1 color. Just be sure to band the accordian folds really well with the rubber bands.

[123starfire123]

Ok thank you for replying :)

[123starfire123]

Can u wash all the tie-dyed shirts together? Or one by one?

[DuncanCrafts]

@123starfire123 I'd wash it separately first just to make sure it's set. Then you can wash them with other clothes. Check the instructions, too.

[KingsDominionGeek]

@123starfire123

I've always washed mine together and really never had a problem. Unless I"m doing one that has black in it.

[hammylover1000]

when you are tie dying the bottom part of the shirt do you leave the white spots? or do u fill in the whole thing?

[DuncanCrafts]

@hammylover1000 It just depends on the look you want--if you want more of an overall color, fill in all the white areas on the bottom. If you want more of a scrunch-dyed look, you can leave some areas white for color contrast.

[ellaine1717]

where can i buy products of tulip

[DuncanCrafts]

@ellaine1717 You can find Tulip products at Michaels, JoAnn Stores, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, Walmart and on ilovetocreate[dot]com.

[stanzemeezy]

@ellaine1717 at walmart next to the fabric softener

[21dirtbikegirl]

@ellaine1717 Walmart

[MeganAnneG]

Cool thanks for that! I have tryed my first ever tie dying today :) woohoo can't wait to see how they turn out!

[tealcandy99]

you're supposed to dampen to t-shirt first ...

[artsmart2]

The Tulip One-Step Fashion Dyes work best on natural fiber fabrics like cotton, wool, silk and rayon. These fibers allow the dye to sink in, which is why the dye lasts longer.

[Lily11223]

What would happen if you tie died something that wasn't cotton? would it work?

[21dirtbikegirl]

@Lily11223 It can but it doesn't stay or can bleed

[GeMzY67]

What if I wanted the whole inside of the heart only one color? I mean without the white stripes left there?

[DuncanCrafts]

@GeMzY67 To get that effect, you can just squeeze the dye directly onto the shirt (not tie up the heart shape for the look of resist.). Just remember to leave some space between the colors so they don't overlap into the fibers and make a muddy color.

[icheergrli]

I want to make this shirt for my cheerleading squad. Our colors are only blue and white. Do you think it will look funny with only one color?

[DuncanCrafts]

@icheergrli As long as you keep the folds tight, it will resist the dye, so you'll get the white heart. Should look great!

[alanjacksonfan12]

the color takes better if u wet the shirt first x]

[AnastasiafyMe]

This is so aggravating. I keep watching the accordion fold part over and over again. Your instructions aren't detailed enough!

[DuncanCrafts]

@AnastasiafyMe We also post instructions on our ilovetocreate website, if that helps!

[cherashli]

@AnastasiafyMe watch videos of tie dying a V and peace signs then you'll understand how to do fan folds better

[AnastasiafyMe]

OMG this music is so annoying!

[MsHorses2]

i just got my 1st die when i mix it with water do i have to use it all at one of can i use it 1 on monday and some on saterday??????????????

[DuncanCrafts]

@MsHorses2 Once you mix the dye with water, it's at its most intense. We recommend you use up the dye within the hour for best results.

[DuncanCrafts]

@VideoMonkeyS3D Once you mix the dye with water, the color intensity lasts for about an hour. Use the leftover to dye some towels, pillow cases or sheets if you have enough. If you're totally done, you can just pour the leftover down the drain. Be careful not to splash around the sink, and make sure you wipe up any spills.

[CookiesR4Monsters]

When I did my heart it ended up looking like a circle!!!

[DuncanCrafts]

@CookiesR4Monsters I checked with one of our amazing fabric artists about your circle. She suggested you have to really crunch the fabric tighly up around the dip of the heart at the top, or else it could round out a bit. Sorry you're not happy with it! We'll add the tip to the video. Thanks for letting us know!

[ilovethenanny]

the shirt is supposed to be wet first so the dye dont fall off

[PEEPSaPLENTY]

i used this dye and my shirts sucks! i let the dye sit in a platic rap like it said and i rinsted all the dye out in the sink and then after i put it in the washer the colors faded! it made me so upset

[DuncanCrafts]

@PEEPSaPLENTY Those results are not typical at all! Please call our Customer Service team at 1.800.438.6226 so we can help!

[perrisgoodwin]

omg! i made a heart shirt and it turned out great!!!no offense but it looked alot better that the one just made.

[RJsmommy2008]

Thank you so much!! It was fairly easy and my shirt looks AWESOME!!!!!!

[froghunter13]

Very cute. My mom showed me how to do this when I was a kid but for the life of me I couldn't remember how. Thanks. I am going to try on a skirt, some panties maybe socks too.

[NrthStr2882]

it is easier and a lot less messy if the shirts are damp when you apply the dye it soaks in better.

[rain2remember1]

awesome duude ;)

[hypergurl784]

this is sooo cool! is there any way i could make a plain yellow one for my cancer walk?

[peggymoa]

ugh this song is soo anooyyiing

[Msluckycharms101]

wat is the name of that song?

[teentitansrock88]

im trying to tie dye words on a t- shirt is it possible i guess it is cuase you just lay it flat and then dye the words

[artsmart2]

Use the tip of the dye bottle to carefully write words on a prewashed and dried shirt. Since the shirt is dry, it shouldn't bleed out as much. Keep words rather large. If it's too small, the letters may blend together.

You can also use a brush. Squeeze dye on a foam plate, then use a small round brush to paint on your words. Let dry, then brush on another coat for more intense color.

Hope this helps!

[joekuznia11]

[aaquamarina23]

[stingme12345]

ew looks like shit

[yuiskool]

can u do a video on how to tie dye a peace sign

[armccoy]

Using a washable marker works much better than a pencil. :o)

[xskater565]

marker doesn't work well when the shirt is wet, as in her technique. I use pencil all the time. Just turn the shirt inside out, and you don't need to worry about the pencil not washing out.

[putasuzia]

CUTE!!!!!!

[tibit111]

Awsome! thx a lot!!!woot woot^^

[theskiizcrying]
