All fonts must be converted to outlines. 300 dpi raster artwork accepted for color sublimation only.Step 7. Add dye fixer to dye bath. Add 1/2 cup fixer for each pound of dry fabric you are dying. This amount will be the same if you are dyeing light or dark shades. Add fixer slowly, in steps, adding the first 1/3 total amount. Stir thoroughly. After 5 minutes or so, Add the next 1/3 fixer amount. Stir thoroughly. After another 5 minutes, add the final 1/3 amount of fixer. Stir thoroughly.Step 1. Decide how much dye you should use. In dyeing with reactive dyes, the depth of shade achieved is most dependent upon how much dye you use. The more dye used, the deeper the shade. Deep shades of dyeing require large amounts of dye. If it is very important for you to achieve deep shades, then it is important for you to use larger amounts of dye than you might think necessary, or than what “traditional” dye rules of thumb call for. Light shades do not require much dye at all. So when light or pastel shades are desired, smaller amounts of dye will be called for. Traditional rules of thumb for these reactive type dyes are that one ounce of dye will color 2 pounds of dry fabric to a medium shade. One ounce of dye will color 1/2 to 1 pound of dry fabric to a deep shade. One ounce of dye will do 4 to ? Pounds of fabric to a light shade.Step 9. Drain dye. Rinse fabric thoroughly under cold running water. Increase water temperature to warm and rinse thoroughly. Wash fabric in washing machine with synthrapol detergent to remove loose dye. Wash as many times as you need to until rinse water is clear. Dry.

Step 3. Fill plastic bucket with enough warm water to cover the fabric so the fabric flows freely through the water. The more water you add, the more diluted the dye will be and the lighter the shade. But if you add too little water, the color will not come out even. 105 degrees F is the best water temperature.

Use these instructions for solid color dying in a bucket or for traditional “old time” tie dye in a bucket. Please read the instructions written for dyeing in a washing machine for hints and insights into why these steps are followed. Wear gloves and protective gear as necessary. Dye stains skin! See our health and safety information.Step 6. Add Salt to dye bath. For deep shades add up to 100% of the fabric weight in salt. For medium shades, up to 50% of the fabric weight in salt. For light shades, no salt or a small amount of salt. Salt drives the dye out of the water and into the fabric. The more salt you add, the deeper the shade. Use common table salt, it does not matter if it has iodine or not. Add the salt slowly in 4 equal steps. Add the first quarter amount of salt you will add and stir thoroughly. Add the rest of the salt in steps about 3 to 5 minutes apart. Stir thoroughly so fabric dyes evenly. Step 8. Continue to stir for 10 to 15 more minutes. If you let the fabric sit for a long period of time without stirring, the color will not come out even. Hi Oretha. Thanks for your comment. Yes, the dye that I recommend is a dye powder plus soda ash that you mix with water to make a liquid before you apply it. The instructions of this particular brand say to let the dye sit for at least 8 hours or overnight. I haven’t had a problem with the soda ash eating away at the fabric – but it sounds like we may be using different types of soda. I would encourage you to follow the instructions for the type of dye that is available to you.First, consider the type of dye you are using.

Whichever heating method you choose, it is essential not to let the tie-dyed items dry out. If the dye dries out, the dye reaction will stop. Some moisture must be present for the dye to react with the fabric. The temperature of the dye also impacts the amount of time it needs to set. If you keep the newly-dyed items warm, they take less time to set than if you keep them at a cooler temperature. Sarahmaker.com is your go-to resource for crochet and knitting inspiration.

Now that spring is here, it feels like tie dye season is upon us! I mean, yes, we certainly tie dyed through the winter and have closets full tie dye creations for cold weather, but something about the sun shining and summer on the horizon makes it feel like we are entering the time of year that gives us the ideal conditions for tie dye transcendence. So, if you put your bottles and gloves and rubber bands away for the winter, get them out, dust them off, and get ready the most colorful tie dye season yet!

Bucket hats are making a major comeback as of late and are inherently summery (given their origins of being worn by seaside fishermen) and are great for blocking the sun while making a fashion statement. And since we like to tie dye EVERYTHING, we decided to make a tie dye bucket hat! You can find the one we used at Joann, along with tons of other surfaces that are perfect for tie dye. We used our tried and true, Tulip One-Step Tie Dye to create a design using a sherbet-inspired color palette on our hat and then added a heat transfer vinyl design to give it even more personality. Keep scrolling for the tutorial!

It’s safe to say I’ve been obsessed with tie dye for a while. And while I’ve dyed clothing, shoes, and Crocs, I haven’t yet shared how I’ve dyed hats. So this is all about how you can easily make adorable tie dye bucket hats!I like to do my tie dye projects at the same time so I’ll soak a bunch of items at once. In this case I also soaked it with some sweatpants, shirts, a zip hoodie, and a crop top.

Prepare the dye according to the instructions on the tie dye kit. Typically you fill the bottle to the line with warm water and then shake it until the dye dissolves.Tip #2: Did you know you can mix tie dye colors? You can! This is what I did since I wanted different colors than the dye came with. I made purple and mixed a different pink and blue into some recycled yogurt containers.

Hats can be a little more challenging to dye since the brims are hard and you may think you won’t be able to dye them, but you can! With this simple technique, you’ll get a beautiful almost water color effect, while still having the classic pops of white. And while I use this technique, you can also use others including the ice tie dye technique or using pastel colors. Or if you have a colored hat, you can bleach tie dye it.

I always recommend first washing items before tie dyeing them. This removes any chemicals, oils, or anything else that may prevent your hat from accepting the dye.

Tip: I recommend filling the bottle only a little bit and dissolving the dye in that. Then fill the bottle the rest of the way. This helps minimize any spills and leakage.The reason you need 100% cotton is because polyester and other synthetic materials don’t absorb the dye from tie dye kits very well. I actually originally bought some bucket hats that said they were cotton, but learned they were synthetic while dyeing because they didn’t absorb the dye. If you’re using dye from the bottle, start with one color and place it wherever you’d like. If you mixed your own, use a spoon to pour the dye onto the hat. Then the white material helps the colors show up the best. However, you’re welcome to get a colored one, but know that the colors you dye it will come out slightly different. That being said, another option is to dye the hat with the bleach tie dye method in which you don’t use any dye at all!

If you’re using a kit without soda ash, you can skip this step, though I don’t recommend it. I always recommend using soda ash when tie dyeing to get the most vibrant color. You can get an extra bag here.

You can adjust the intensity of the colors by changing the dye-to-water ratio. If you want more pastel colors, you can add more water to the dye mixture.

Procion MX dyes: This is the most popular type of dye for tie-dye enthusiasts and professionals. Procion MX dye is colorfast, non-toxic, and very easy to use. Plus, it comes in a huge range of colors! You can find Procion dye kits from supplies like Jacquard or Dharma Trading Co. The best way to get bright tie-dye colors is to use the right kind of fiber-reactive dye and 100% cotton fabric. Then, remember to prewash your fabric and soak it in a soda ash solution (if your dye requires it.) Be patient and let the dye cure for up to 24 hours for the best color saturation.

Any place that the dye can’t reach will stay white, creating the design.

I want to dye a cotton apron I got from a hardware store, but its original color is unbleached cotton canvas. I am not sure if it would be best to attempt to bleach the canvas first to reduce the beige/muslin coloring, or to try to offset the yellow undertone with a complementary shade + pink.

Once you have finished applying the dye, you need to give it time to react with the fabric. It’s important to keep the fabric damp and relatively warm. (The warmer the temperature of the fabric, the quicker the dye reaction.)Hi Dottie, Here are some tips to keep the dye from staining any areas you want to keep white. 1. Use Procion or other fiber-reactive dyes, not Rit or other all-purpose dyes. 2. Allow at least 24 hours of setting time for the dye to finish its reaction. After this time passes, the dye should be inactive and less likely to bond with the white areas of the fabric. 3. Rinse completely in cool water, then wash with Synthrapol or another detergent in a hot water cycle. You may need to wash twice to remove all the excess dye.

Before you tie dye, you need to prewash the garments. Use a laundry detergent like Synthrapol to remove any oils, dirt, or anything else that might be on your garment. These things can resist the dye, leading to dull or spotty results.

Socks are easy and fun to tie-dye. If you want matching socks, you can tie them up together and dye them at the same time. Since they have a small surface area, you can’t make large mandala patterns, though.

Don’t stop at shirts! There are all sorts of other garments and items you can tie-dye: hoodies, sweatpants, headbands, socks, and even sneakers. When you’re shopping, look for garments with a very high percentage of cotton or other natural fiber.

First, leaving the rubber bands or ties on, rinse the garment under cold running water. Then, continue rinsing in cool/lukewarm water while you remove the rubber bands or ties. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Then, run the garments through a complete warm/hot washing machine cycle with Synthrapol detergent.

Before you can start dying, gather some supplies and materials. First and foremost, you’ll need the dye itself and some fabric to dye. Then, you’ll need to grab some tools and safety materials.Hi Nick, you can safely machine dry your tie-dyed items. After the dye has been set, and all of the excess dye washed out, you can machine-dry your items.

I recommend placing the dyed fabric in a plastic bag or wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped fabric in a sunny spot, and let the dye process for at least 6-8 hours. For the brightest colors, you can let the dye cure for up to 24 hours.

Tulip One-Step dyes: This type of dye is a great choice for the occasional tie-dyer, younger kids, and parties. The Tulip brand kits use a one-step dyeing process that eliminates the need to pre-soak fabrics in soda ash. The Tulip dyes are formulated with soda ash already in the dye powder, so all you have to do is add water, shake and apply.

Bleach tie dye, also called reverse tie dye, has become super popular in the last year or two. Bleach tie-dye starts with a black or dark-colored shirt, which is then tied and lightened with bleach. The bleach lightens the color of the exposed fabric, creating the tie-dye design. If you are interested in learning more, don’t miss my tutorial about how to tie-dye with bleach.You can dye all sorts of garments, like cotton shirts, sweatshirts, socks, even shoes! Items made with natural fibers are great for tie-dye. Look on the label for cotton, rayon, hemp, linen, or even silk.

When applying the dye, consider color placement. Think back to art class and the concept of the color wheel. Colors placed next to each other will bleed together at the border, creating new colors. Red placed next to yellow will create orange, green placed next to blue will create teal.

Prewash your garments in detergent, such as Synthrapol, before dying. Prewashing removes dirt, oils, and sizing that can prevent the dye from penetrating the fabric.

Tie-dye is a resist-dyeing technique that often uses bright, saturated colors and bold patterns. To tie dye, first, fold or crumple fabric and tie it with string or rubber bands. Then, dip the fabric in buckets of dye, or apply the dye with squirt bottles.Thicker fabrics like sweatshirts and sweatpants work really well with more organic techniques, like the crumple technique, the swirl pattern, and stripes. While you can do the more intricate designs on thicker materials, it may be a little tricker.

You’re right that the original yellowish color of the muslin will affect the final color of the dye somewhat – but trying to offset it with a cooler pink might muddy the hue. Do you have a similar color bit of scrap muslin you can test first?The best way to prevent stained hands is to wear gloves! Otherwise, wash your hands with soap and water.

Add a few teaspoons of lukewarm water to the dye powder – just enough to make a paste. Then, add 1 cup of lukewarm water to the bucket and stir to dissolve the dye.
