Latest and greatest! 3X beefy T 🥩 🤩 

I keep seeing YouTube shorts of a guy who does really cool and intricate tie dyes. I really like the idea of getting into it because I'm both a stoner and LGBT so I kinda feel like it would be a fitting hobby. 

Is there like a starter guide or starter kit or a good channel on YouTube to help people who know nothing about it start doing tie dye?

Also, sorry if you get a lot of people asking this question, I didn't see anything in the subreddit info linking to guides or anything .. I'm not sure where to start and I wanna get into your cool hobby 😊💖

Is there a tie dye wiki or something?

Conclusion:  I needed way more ice and ink the muck is the way to go for more intense colors.

Colander Ice Dyes ft. 🦅 & 🤠

*technically* not tie dye 🦑

 Rainbow Spiral ice dye 

Fresh out of the oven...

Ok yall, so this is my first time messn with ice dying.  This is what was under all that beautiful mineral lookn stuff from the video the other day.  Here’s what I think I’ll do different next time:
1. Less dye.  That stuff was caked up in spots after 3-4 refills of ice, stopping the dye from getting to the material. 
2. More SA.  I looked for posts regarding ratio for SA/dye and found one where the general consensus was 3:1.  So I mixed a jar w 2/3c dye and 2c ash.  Maybe add a bit more as it looks like some dyes have washed out. Especially the reds.  They were the only color coming out during the rinse.  Also saw later a few post saying up to 6:1 SA/dye so..
4. Higher temps.  So yeah, I was eager and not thinking clearly and didn’t factor that it was 25 degrees outside and the garage isn’t heated.  I ended up having to build a makeshift heat box to get the ice to melt and the shirts to batch..bringing me to the most important lesson I learned..
5. Just Wait Longer.  I feel I lost a lot of the colors I had developing by being too anxious and hurrying things along.  I should have waited for the muck to get warmer than I did by letting it sit much longer in the heat box.  I pulled the shirts after about 18 hours in the muck at most, then batched them for about 12 hours at around 80 degrees.  Like I said when doing the rinse the only colors coming out were yellows and reds. And I think they may have had a better chance of developing if left longer.

Dharma glitches for my buddy’s band

Off the cuff color mixing from (mostly) primaries

I pleated the shirt horizontally from the bottom, tied it in honeycomb fashion. Rolled it up and threw 15 different colors on top. Had two rounds of ice melt. And I love the results. ( sorry no video this time)

The most colors I have put on a shirt. 

Ice dye with a stencil

It's been a while and I've forgotten most of what I once knew.


I need to make some shirts with a pastel spiral with lots of white, as they will be be printed on after dyeing.


I'm thinking I'll use 1/8 teaspoon of dye per bottle (about 250ml I think?), but it's the placement that is getting me. Do I do wedges on one side of the spiral but leave the back side? Or just lines of dye instead of wedges but do both sides?


I have googled and I'm not getting anywhere, I tried to find a picture as an example but struggling with that too.


Will really appreciate any pointers you might be able to provide, thank you!
