Today I'm going to be trying some tie dye patterns out. Some simple, some complicated,
and even some reverse tie dye patterns. Also I really wanted to try putting food coloring
tie dye to the test and see if it really holds up. In this video we'll just be using a ton
of stuff that you can find laying around your house to tie dye. This is really cheap to
do and you really only need a few materials. I went around to a TON of different stores
like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart, Target, Kmart, whatever. And literally all the tie
dye kits were out of stock in every single place. But Mama didn't raise no quitter! So
we're going to be doing tie dye with food coloring and bleach instead. If you're new
here you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel. Don't
forget to hit that bell icon and select *ALL* option. You have to select ALL or I'll be
lost on the internet forever. I post new videos EVERY FRIDAY. Alrighttt lets get into it.
I did pick up these white t-shirts. You have to make sure they're not anything synthetic
like polyester or something. That won't absorb the dye very well. You could see that these
right here are 100% cotton. Only the purest of pure things- caviar. First thing that we've
got to do before we really get started here is wash the shirts. Apparently if you don't
wash them the food coloring won't stick to them as well. The next thing we have to do
is get a bowl or a bucket or whatever you have lying around to pour the white vinegar
into. Make sure you're using distilled white vinegar for this part. I'm also going to mix
in a little water with the white vinegar. I found some different sources saying different
amounts of water are required, but I'm just gonna do kinda 75% vinegar and 25% water ratio.
*Sniff* I could really go for a good salad right now. Once you have all the vinegar and
water mixed up, I'm going to just put the shirts in there and give them a little bath.
Just a little side note, I'm a weirdo and I don't really mind the smell of vinegar so
I'm doing this inside but you should probably do this outside. This is just going to prepare
the shirt for the dye, which in this case is food coloring. After the shirt is thoroughly
wet with the vinegar stuff you're just going to take a few water bottles and poke some
holes with a pin in the top lid thing. You're going to want to put a little bit of water
in the bottle and I'm going to squeeze a lot of food coloring in here because I'm not sure
how vibrant the colors are going to come out with the food coloring. You can always add
some more water if you run out of it too. Now that stuff's ready to go we're just going
to take this shirt out of the vinegar and wring it out. What you're going to do now
is kinda lay the shirt flat and twist it up. You can really do this however you want. There's
a ton of different guides and designs that you can do. It's kinda an anarchy out there.
There's no rules. For the first one I'm going to do a striped tie-dye design. I wanted to
start off simple. Starting at one side I'm going to fold back and forth in an accordion
fold. Now that it's all rolled up you can take out some rubber bands and start tying
them around the shirt. You want them to be pretty tight.. Mmm that's pretty tight, I
like it. I'm going to use a good amount of rubber bands for this. I used to be that kid
in middle school who flung rubber bands at people. They'd get so annoyed. MWAHAHAHA.
I don't recommend it. Now that we've got the rubber bands on there, we can start spraying
or squirting or whatever the food coloring on. For the first couple of shirts I'm going
to do mainly red and purple because they're some of my favorite colors. Remember we are
using food coloring so the colors may not be super vibrant. Okay I think I've got the
purple stripes on there, now lets add the red stripes. And now what I'm gonna do is
take the shirt and wrap it up real tight in some serene wrap and leave that dye to soak
in for atleast 8 hours. I watched a couple YouTube videos on how to do this and now I'm
pretty much an expert. To be honest I'm probably going to leave these overnight just to be
on the safe side. Pretty sure the more time it sits like this, the better the colors will
turn out. For this part we're going to do 2 tie dye shirts with a skull design in the
middle, just in case one of them doesn't turn out right. I'm going to wring it out and lay
them flat. Don't want any wrinkles. I heard that laughing causes wrinkles. It makes me
feel so EVIL when I make you guys laugh. MWAHAHAHA. This part here is optional, I'm going to make
a little stencil for the skull. If you're comfortable with it, you don't even have to
do this and you can just draw the skull right on to the shirt. That's totally up to you.
You could see that I've got the shirt folded in half here. You're also going to fold the
stencil in half and place it on top of the shirt and trace around it in washable marker.
I'm then going to just draw the eyes, nose and mouth on here. Now I'm just going to rubber
band the eye and the nose. The idea here is to pull this little mountain of fabric and
keep the line of the marker as straight as possible all the way around. *Up up uppity*
Now that I have the nose and eyes done I'm just gonna take this thing and tie that up...
and do whatever I want to it... and just kinda pleat around it while trying my best to keep
that line that I made with the marker as straight as possible. This part was pretty hard, I'm
not gonna lie. Now you're just gonna take your tie dye, food coloring, or whatever you're
using and put it on the nose, mouth, and eye part that's sticking up there. For the rest
of the shirt outside the skull, I'm gonna do a red stripe kinda look. Ok lets put this
one aside, I'm gonna do the other skull shirt real quick off screen. For this next one I'm
going to try to make the illuminati eye. I'm going to use some purple and some neon pink.
For this one I just kinda decided to eyeball it. Now I'm going to start on the inside and
work my way out. First I'll tie up the pupil- remember you want all the pleats and the line
to be as straight as possible before rubber banding it. Now I'm going to pleat the outer
eye and just push the excess fabric up to make sorta a mountain thing and then rubber
band that too. After that I'll add some more rubber bands to the shirt like so and then
add some color. So you probably noticed that I'm not wearing gloves for this part- I advise
that you just wear gloves. *Umm, hello there, thank you so much for liking and leaving a
comment on the video. Oh wait, what's that? You haven't liked the video or left a comment
yet? Well maybe you should. Because if you don't you'll find a hair in your spaghetti.
For the last 2 white shirts I'm going to do some spirals. First one I'm going to twist
the middle like this so it only comes out with one spiral. And I'm going to just use
one color here. I figured we could use blue since we haven't done that yet. For the next
one I'm going to try to do 2 spirals. I'm going to just kinda do the same twisting motion
but in 2 different spots. And this one is going to be green and yellow. Ok now lets
do 1 more shirt. This one's going to be a special one. I honestly am not too big of
a fan of regular tie dye with all the colors and stuff. But I do really like reverse tie
dye, I think it looks pretty cool. So that's what we're going to try.You're basically going
to do the same thing as regular tie dye except instead of dye or food coloring, we're going
to use bleach. This is the household object tie dye video. Nothing fancy here. This cap
is a little too thick so you know what, lets just drill through it. I figured we could
use this one for the reverse tie dye. This is just an old drum related shirt that I have.
I used to play the drums a lot. I want to do another spiral. This time I'm going to
section it off a bit more and then squirt the bleach into like 2 of these opposing sides
I guess you can say. This one was pretty cool to watch because you can slowly see the shirt
changing color because of the bleach. Very satisfying. You're gonna wanna let the shirt
sit there with the bleach for about 10 minutes. You don't wanna leave it there too long though,
because the bleach will destroy the fabric if you leave it there long enough. So after
you've waited about 10 minutes just go ahead and put your gloves back on and pick the shirt
back up, then take it to a tub or a sink and really wash it out and throw it in the washing
machine. Then just throw it right in the dryer and after that your reverse tie dye shirt
should be done. Here are all of the food coloring tie dye shirts I made today together and we're
going to leave them overnight and unwrap them in the morning. Oh by the way, just a little
disclaimer, I'm not a professional, I just wanted to try this out for fun, so we'll see
how they turned out. Alrighty so we waited overnight, and now we're gonna unwrap these
and see how they turned out. Here's the green and yellow one up first. This one actually
turned out pretty cool. Giving me like lemon lime soda vibes. I like that. It's a little
fizzy in my wizzy. This one here is the striped one. This one kinda looks like the Northern
lights almost to me. And it's interesting how the purple kinda turned into blue as it
faded. Mmm yeah. Now here we got skull #1. Oh dear. Yeah I might've bit off a little
bit more than I could chew doing this skull design. It was pretty ambitious of me. Here
is the second skull. And .. yup, just as I expected it does not look good. It kinda almost
looks like Mickey Mouse or something. Can you guys see that? Here we've got the blue
swirl one and this might be my favorite one so far. I just like how simple it is and I
think the spiral turned out really cool actually. Next up we have the illuminati eye and I think
this one turned out ok. I mean you can kinda tell it's an eye, right? sorta. These are
all still pretty damp so I'm just gonna leave them to dry. Now remember, this is food coloring
so I don't know what's going to happen if you try washing these. This might be a one
time kinda deal. But I'm just gonna leave these like they are and let them dry. Ok guys
so here's the reverse tie dye shirt, I figured I'd just wear this one. I do really like the
way this one turned out a lot. It's definitely more EVIL. Remember this used to be an entirely
black shirt. I actually have a few reverse tie dye shirts already so it was really fun
to make one myself. Don't forget to come back Next Friday. *Hello again, if you liked and
commented, thank you. If you haven't I suggest you be extraaa careful when you close your
eyes tonight*
