Official TIE-DYE thread.

[Brock.]

tonight, i started on the tedious task of bleach tie-dying an old tall sleeveless for the first time. I guess i figured out that its abit harder than i initially thought. i used a method called Marbling, where you scrunch the shirt into a wrinkled ball and tightly surround it with elastics so that its a nice big ball of tightly packed fabric. i think i like marbling the best out of the other techniques.
heres how it turned outbetter pics once it dries and its not under a drip bucket)

Not bad i guess for the first time. (the sweater was originally black with the inside hood gray)
SO post up YOUR techniques and finished tie-dye work. maybe NS has some tie-dye pros that can give us a few tips

 

[jca]

i will at a future point in time.

TThese are both pretty standard styles and super easy... I made both in about 5 minutes as a floor activity at my dorm.First one:Grab the middle of the shirt and twist, keeping it as flat as possible. Secure with rubber bands so you hhave a sort of thick pizza. Dye the different 'slices' different colours.

Number 2:Grab the middle of the tshirt and pull it up. Gather the top/bottom/sleeves together. You'll have a long strip with the middle as one end and the outsides as the other. Secure with rubber bands and dye different colours moving along.

[Backyard.Skier]

dont get me wrong that is cool what your doing but those colors made it look like it was dropped in some oil.

 

[kaPOW]

shit is that third one black and white tie dye?

 

[dunkaroos]

Sorry but I'm pretty new to tie-dying. What method did you use? The spiral is soooo sick.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

wow its really actually true. theres a 12-24 month lag time between sport trends

skating > snowboarding > skiing

 

[short_and_steezy]

anyone have any tips to keep the die from coming out when washing them? mine always fade

 

[cool.]

you lay the shirt out then pinch the spot where you want the spiral to start and keep spinning your hand. then take 3 rubber bands and cross them so it stays in place then add the dye.

theres a bunch of good dye guides online, definitely check them out

 

[Afeld]

damn, that is so sick

 

[dunkaroos]

Thanks a lot man. I'm definitely trying this out this weekend. +Karmazz

[jca]

 

[WillMurphy]

Bump, want this in my threads for later

 

[omnomnom]

the inside of the op's hood looks like a canine scrotum. just sayin'.

 

[thelizards]

no. this happens every summer

 

[mmallender.]

the fact that you have seen enough canine scrotum to compare the inside of a hood to one is much much more concerning than the fact that it may look like one hahaha
