how to tie dye an old white shirt

by:Yufengling     2020-06-20
Tie-dyed shirts are almost as American as apple pie.
Can\'t be sad when wearing tie dye color-
Especially if you go with your favorite Rainbow Loom bracelet!
While some instructions suggest using a rope, I found the rubber band to work best.
Anyway, the most important thing is that you can be happy to prepare an old T-shirt and make it a rainbow masterpiece.
The shirt that works best is 100% cotton, but you can also use 50% cotton/50% polyester.
The result will not be so dynamic.
I used to try to dye a 100% polyester dress and when it was untied --
All the dyes are washed away!
The dye is only well combined with natural fabrics such as cotton, silk and artificial silk
But we\'re talking about cotton. . . .
At the craft store, you can easily get dye suits that have everything you need.
They include rubber gloves, rubber bands, soda ash, urea and complete easy-to-follow instructions.
The dye is already in the squeeze bottle and all you need to do is add warm water (not hot).
Other options include the purchase of dyes for a single package.
These are also equipped with the necessary instructions for urea, soda ash and mixing.
However, if you do not have a squeeze bottle, you will need to purchase some separately.
Although I use the kit, I prefer to use the Procion dye provided by Dharma dye.
They have a great site where you can buy everything you need.
Procion dyes are the best and brightest dyes and I highly recommend them.
However, if you mix the dye powder yourself, be sure to wear a mask so you don\'t suck the powder into your lungs.
If you don\'t use pre-like me-
Package, you will need the following;
Procion dyes, rubber bands, rubber gloves, squeeze bottles for dyes, urea and soda, large self-sealing bags, bathtubs for soaking shirts, and a stake or something like that, used to cause distortion on shirts.
Funnel and measurement curves are also useful for mixed dyes.
Oh yes, don\'t forget to support it with paper towels and paper trays while the shirt is dyed, and don\'t forget to clean up the spilled stuff with old rags. Tie-
Death is not necessarily chaotic!
In order for the Procion dye to combine with the shirt, you need to soak it in a solution of warm water and soda base for about 10 minutes.
Follow the instructions for soda so you can get the right mixture.
Do not use water that is too hot or too cold
Add a few tablespoons of plain salt to the mixture! !
Make sure the mixture is completely dissolved before adding the shirt.
The temperature of the water should be about the same as the baby bathing!
Since soda ash is a bit corrosive, you may want to wear rubber gloves at this point, especially if there is a wound on your finger --it will sting!
After soaking, unscrew the shirt.
The more liquid you squeeze out, the more dye can enter!
I usually rotate my shirt in the rotation cycle of the washing machine. (Note-
If you are using a brand new shirt, wash it first and remove its new feeling.
This \"sizing\" will prevent the dye from sticking properly and you may get a noticeable effect. )
After you wet your shirt and wring it (
By the way, if you don\'t do it in the washing machine, try to screw it out with friends! )
Put the shirt on the plane.
Put it on the right and then you will get a clearer pattern on the front of the shirt.
Of course, if you want a clearer pattern on the backwell, you know!
Pin the rod ,(
Or your finger, or a wooden clothing pin)
In the center of the shirt, start turning clockwise until you have a nice flat pie shape.
You can also put the counter
This is no different if you want, clockwise.
Your shirt should be like this at this stage.
Don\'t let the shirt climb up the pin bar, don\'t turn the pin bar with your hands to make it perform better!
You are now ready to remove the pin and put on the rubber band.
The trick is to place the band without disturbing the shirt!
It can be done!
Take care to remove the pin.
You don\'t want to pull the shirt up in the middle-
Therefore, the pie cannot be realized!
This part of the process is the most important step.
Believe me, if you make a sloppy \"tie\", you will realize a sloppy and messy \"dye\" and regret it alive.
Now you can put on the rubber bands and use the shape of your lovely pie.
A few anti-skid (See pictures)
Then turn over the shirt and wear some more.
Keep it in shape.
Keep the whole thing as smooth as possible.
You are ready to dye now!
When you do real death, you need to cover your work surface with plastic.
Something like a plastic tablecloth will work well.
You also need to wear old gym clothes for women, old shoes, etc.
The dye will stain your gym clothes for women, floors, walls, ceilings, etc.
So please be careful if you are not working outside.
These dyes are harmless to your skin, but if you don\'t wear rubber gloves, you will get dyed hands in red, yellow or blue, which will not be washed off (
Will disappear in a few days.
But it can be embarrassing! ).
Also prepare a rag to clean up the spills.
When I mix the dye I make sure the cap is tight and I also wipe the top of the screw and the bottleneck to avoid \"capillary action \".
I also cleaned some of my husband\'s and son\'s old white socks and cut them off and put them on the bottle, which helps prevent accidental leaks!
Tip: There is a product called Reduran that can be purchased online in Dharma and can instantly remove dyes from the skin so that there is no need to suffer from \"Rainbow hand\" syndrome!
Place your shirt \"pie\" on a paper towel of several thickness and on a paper tray on your plastic-protected working surface.
It\'s not so confusing and it\'s easy to flip the whole thing over the other side of death.
Wear rubber gloves!
Note: I usually only use purple red, turquoise and lemon yellow when tying.
With these three colors, you can do whatever you like.
Imagine that your \"pie\" is an actual pie chart!
Work from the center of the shirt, place the bottle low and high on the shirt, and dye 1 out of 3 of the shirt to lemon yellow.
Don\'t wave the bottle because you will make a mess!
The second and third of the shirt is purple and the third is turquoise.
Don\'t leave any blank display-
\"White\" is hidden in folds!
If you overlap colors on the edges of each section, you will get other rainbow colorse.
Green, purple and orange! It\'s magic!
Tip: Always put yellow-(
Or other light-colored dyes)on first.
Once you \"lose\" or cover it up by mistake --
It becomes something else (
Orange or green)
You can\'t get it back.
When you put the dye on the first side, turn the whole thing over.
If you just flip the plate over to another paper plate with a clean tissue, this will be easy to do.
Throw away the first paper tray and towel (
Clean as much as possible).
Apply the dye to the second side in a similar way.
If you are making a rainbow Whirlpool, you need to make sure to put the three colors behind the same color you use on the other side (i. e.
Red behind is red, blue behind is blue and so on. )
If you don\'t, you don\'t get a rainbow spiral, but a rainbow spider pattern (
It\'s actually good! )
After finishing applying the dye to the shirt, put it in the zipper lock bag and seal it.
Put the bag in a warm place for at least 24 hours!
It takes so long for the dye to \"prove\" and let the beautiful color really combine with the fabric.
For your despair. it-
\"You can open the package in 8 hours.
But if you are very patient, you can also put the shirt in 36 hours.
If you leave longer, I find the color a bit blurry (don\'t know why).
Wear rubber gloves and old gym clothes for women again when you unlock your shirt.
Don\'t mess up!
Note: you have, you should try the bleach tie method!
love this part!
This is the moment you have been waiting.
It\'s time to open the package and discover your beauty (we hope)
You can see it all.
Take the shirt out of the bag!
You can take the strap off first, open the package, start running under the cold water tap, or run under the tap for a while and take the strap off!
Be careful, if you have never dyed a tie before, you will be surprised by the large amount of dye flowing out when you rinse.
The water may turn black!
Don\'t be afraid. it\'s normal.
All the dyes you apply so affectionately will not be combined with the fabric.
Enough dye will maintain a good and real bond.
Keep flushing until the water is clear (
It may take a while! )
Hopefully, if you do it right, your pattern will be revealed in all its glory.
It\'s like a butterfly coming out of a butterfly!
You can now wash your shirt in a normal way with a washing machine (
First time on their own).
Before I trust my shirt and other colors, I usually wash it two or three times by myself. This is my shirt.
I hope yours is as good as yours, even better!
No more \"dingies. \" Enjoy!
Life will never be the same once you have a tie-dye bug.
Your family may become paranoid and start hiding their cotton underwear.
If you take any of the white cotton sheets and bath towels to remodel, they can get really scared!
They don\'t call me a tie\"
\"Don\'t dye the Queen anything!
