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

[DuncanCrafts]

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

[sourstraw16]

before you start the process can you jut easily soak your shirt in water for an hour or so?

[DuncanCrafts]

@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?

[DuncanCrafts]

@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.

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.

at the end, is that exactly what the shirt you made looked/looks like?? That is so pretty! I cant wait to make one!

@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!

@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
