Do you have any suggestions or tips for how best to accomplish this on a very large piece, such as a twin sheet sized wall hanging?
You can create wood or plastic pieces that you clamp into place - like giant forceps. For example, the curved section of large plastic clothing hangers and c-clamps can be used.
Casual Collisions thank you! That is an excellent idea!
TakoLuLu ....Don’t use a drip pan As You Are Dyeing! You will end up WASTING Too Much Dye, dye it on a flat surface with a plastic drop sheet (extra large piece of plastic) so that all the dye goes into the fabric!
Denell L. Bennett Survivor/Warrior people dye different ways. I use a drip pan. I don't want the colors to blend and make mud. The key is to not use excess dye.
You could also sew in the design
This is some next-level shit right here
Where do you buy the clamps (or do you have to know a surgeon)? Looks very nice - I might give it a try myself. I have only done the tie dye with rubberbands and I reckon it would be fun to try out something different. 👍🌺🌸
You can find hundreds of sellers that offer locking, curved forceps on eBay and many options on Amazon.
i really want to know how to do this tie and dye but how to get original fabrics in Nigeria here
Ask for voil fabric. We find it in Bangladesh by this name!
Why do you use them scissor things why not rubber bands not everyone has them forceps or whatever they are just laying around lol just a thought ✌️
Some patterns require more than rubber bands or sinew. It would be impossible to produce this design without using some type of clamping system due to the angles involved. For larger versions of this pattern, you can use wire/plastic/wood formed into the proper shape and c-clamps; but, for a pattern of this size, the perfect solution is a set of hemostats. You can find them on ebay, Amazon, and your local Harbor Freight -- for as little as $1.50/ea.
You have singlehandedly taught me to take my tiedye to the next level. Thank you for all of your videos! 😄
Can i do this design with a t-shirt
Yes, you can use this pattern on t-shirts. You would need to tie the lotus pattern into only a single side of the shirt (typically the front) and create a different pattern for the other side. The least time-intensive would be to create a lotus on the front and scrunch everything else to create an organic pattern that flows around the lotus and throughout the back. Upcoming videos will include a front lotus/back other design as well as other 2-sided techniques.
I had the same question as the thickness of the fabric seemed to matter. Good to know. Thanks!
Where did you buy your locking forceps?
Those look like medical type forceps (such as for surgeries), so you could start your search there.
Katie, as of this writing, they've got a set of 10 on Amazon for only $13 if you're in the U.S. Some sell for around $3 each, but you can also find larger sets that are a bit more expensive (of course), 2-packs, etc. It all depends on how much you're able to spend, but 10 of them for $13 is only $1.30 each so it's a bit cheaper to do that specific set. Just search "locking forceps" and - at least right now - that set is the 8th or 9th item down on the page.
The machine is used like scissors. Where to order or what is it called?
What are the actual procion color names?
Dharma Trading will list all the colors and names for the brands of dyes and paints. They also allow you to create a a color scheme using a digital palette. www.dharmatrading.com
I loved this tutorial!
Thank you.

What do you do with the final product? Is this just for fun or do you sell em?
I was posting a couple dozen items each month on Etsy last year; however, I've been rather lax about following through with that for the majority of 2017. So, with the items from the TH-cam videos, some are for me, some are for my kids, and some will be available as freebies in random drawings over the next few months.
Is it ok if i tie it instead of doing what u did?
For this design you need to use a clamp of some type - I'm using 8" curved hemostats. They're readily available on Amazon and eBay.
@@CasualCollisions ok thank 😁
Trovo solo pinze diritte..vanno bene? Grazie
I'm interested in seeing if there's any suggestions for something that can be used as an alternative to the forceps? Since forceps are not something people usually have on hand and if they do, it's more unlikely they'd own several pairs, so any item that is suggested should ideally be something inexpensive that's commonly found in most households or regularly sold at popular stores, such as Walmart or Michael's.as an alternative for
There really isn't a good alternative that: won't stain, will hold up under the pressure, and is readily available. You can use c-clamps and metal coat hangers that are cut/formed; but, that's going to rust/stain the fabric. You can use c-clamps and plastic coat hangers or wooden forms cut to size; but, stainless steel forceps are less expensive than quality c-clamps and wooden forms would require other equipment (scroll saw, hardwood & poly to protect it from the water, etc.) to create the wood forms.
There are several eBay/Amazon sellers that offer stainless steel forceps for less than $5/ea and have discounts if you purchase them in 12 count sets. I've had very good experiences with edontomed on eBay and they have 8" curved forceps in single quantities for less than $4/ea and less than $30 for a set of 10. I know Hobby Lobby and Michael's both carry forceps as well; but, they're 5x the price of Amazon/eBay.
Very pretty!
Thank you. That's appreciated.
Can we use anything more in place of that scissors?
I'm assuming you mean anything in place of the hemostats? If so, you can either form pieces of wood, heavy gauge wire, use parts of plastic hangers, or similar items with c-clamps to hold pressure in the correct places. But, hemostats are *much* easier to work with.
Curious as to which size forceps these are? Looks like 7" or 10"? Am I right? Would you reccomed getting all the same sized forceps for shirts or a variety? It looks like all the same size. Checking Harbor Freight and getting some.
The hemostats in this video are 8". I prefer to use a single size on each piece of work to keep consistency in the final design. Be sure you go with a good quality stainless steel so that you don't end up with rust stains on your final design.
Appreciate your advice! I bought Seven 10" ones - cleaned Harbor Freight out out and got one 12" one, all stainless steel.
I purchased the hemostats I use in the videos from a medical supply store - so that I know they are made from a quality stainless steel that will not stain/rust/corrode. If you opt to go with an unknown quality, you could buy a single hemostat to "torture test" in dye/soda ash/water to see how it fairs before buying a full set to use on your shirts.
The clamps are actually called hemostats. I don't know why he doesn't tell you.
He mentions it through out this thread...
Can we use robber bands instead of clamps to keep the shirt together?
You will not be able to do this design with rubber bands or sinew. If you are unable to find hemostats, you can do the design with c-clamps and heavy gauge wire (or wood forms) that are molded into the proper shape.
Ok then.
And what substitute can i use to tighten it up???
I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Are you asking about possible substitutes to the forceps?
yes
You can create wood or plastic pieces that you clamp into place. For example, the curved section of large plastic clothing hangers and c-clamps can be used.
You can use twine also
Batter nice
Is there any other way to do this?
hairpins can replace them?
Do your clamps have teeth? If so does it leave any marks??
Yes, to both questions. If you don't want to have the "teeth" marks, you can dip the ends in Plasti-Dip. That will also minimize the risk of damaging the material. amzn.to/2Pgape7
Something I've found useful, before clamping down, add a zip tie through the handles. Clamp down and tighten the ziptie. Helps with popping off (can cause injury as they go flying)
Superb 👌👌 & how to prepare the liquid? Plz keep the video.
You should follow the preparation instructions provided by the manufacturer/dealer. In the case of Procion dyes: www.dharmatrading.com/techniques/dissolving.html
what is the colour name? Is it prucian or something else?

Very nice ... just getting into this art ... will need to try this.
Thank you. Good luck with your designs!
Joyce Oi kkkk de
Kkkk ?de nada e $$$$$
Beautiful......😊
You can surround with foil, it’s a pain, but ice dyeing definitely works..
I usually only use foil if I'm going to let it be a muck dye or if I'm going to bowl dye.
ভীষণ সুন্দর হয়েছে। 😊😊
Can we use rubberband instead of foreceps?
No, for this design you need to use curved forceps.
Awesome idea, what size fabric are you using? Is it a handkerchief?
Is it possible to use thread instead of clamps ?
It would be very difficult with this design unless you were stitching through the material.
Nice work .Maha ali
Very very nice Tie die
would this work with reverse tie dye? (black and bleach)
One of the project videos I'm working on this week is a lotus discharge. It should be published within the next two weeks.
Here's a link to the discharge/reverse tie dye version: th-cam.com/video/U58oCDQrRTo/w-d-xo.html
is this ok to use on babys stuff

what clamps are you using. I've never seen those.
They are locking, 8" curved forceps. You can find them online on eBay/Amazon or locally at places like Tractor Supply Co in their vet section.
Thank you so much.
So nice
Thank you.
www.harborfreight.com carries the large clams. They carry the curved and straight. I found them in store and online both. The are only about $7.00 a pair when I purchased them 3 years ago.
Not all stainless steel is equal. I've had very good results with this seller on eBay: www.ebay.com/str/odontomed2011
Why couldn't he use rubber bands
The pattern wouldn't be the same with rubber bands versus the forceps.
Bagus banget
Thank you.
wow!
Amazing 😍
Thank you!
I cant find large locking hemostat clamps. Where did you find these?
They're available on Amazon, ebay, etc.

If using silk do you wet the silk with the vinegar or can you do it ahead of time like cotton with soda ash? I see soda ash used half strength for silk but is it compromising the silk?If you were selling them would you take the chance on using soda ash? You’re a great teacher,thank you!
Soda ash is too harsh and will damage the silk.
GORGEOUS!!!
Thank you.
Beautifull! Thank for share!
This design is beautiful!! I purchased 12"forceps and tried them on a piece of 21" square satin silk, but they did not close tightly enough to create the desired resist. Do you think smaller forceps will close tightly enough to create a better resist?
While I haven't had an issue, I know many people coat the tips of their forceps with Plasti-Dip to make sure they can get a very tight grip (with no serration pattern). Silk can be troublesome at times, as well. You can't always keep the dye from bonding - even in a tightly tied area.
WH=here do you get the clamps? I can't find ones with multiple clicks, just a one hook type.
I buy hemostats from odontomed2011 on ebay: www.ebay.com/str/odontomed2011
pretty and nice job. I want to try this pattern on the silk I do. Thanks for your posts.
Remember to use vinegar with silk instead of soda ash. Soda ash is too harsh and will destroy the silk.
Denise Knochel and the
You might need to file the teeth of the forceps, they can tear up fine fabric..
You can buy them dipped in rubber, or get the rubbery stuff and dip the tips yourself..
This is amazing!!! I am going to order some forceps and try this!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
where do you get your hemostats? or foreseps?

@@CasualCollisions thank you.
hello,can you tell me where to get those C shape working forceps? I 'm living in Taiwan so I have to get them online..., thank you so much!
Ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/12-Kelly-Hemostat-Locking-Forceps-Curved-Tip-8/110950208936?hash=item19d525d5a8:g:al0AAOSwPe1UH7pD
Where did you get the foreceps?
eBay is usually the least expensive option and I'd recommend that you purchase at least a couple dozen if you plan to create more than a single design at a time.
What size is the forceps that you are using in the video - if you don't me asking!
They are 8".
You recommend "fairly large" hemostats...what size would that be? Before I purchase 8 of them, I would like to be sure they are of a size to handle multiple layered fabric required for this project. This is a beautiful pattern...a well-done video...and a project I look forward to doing. Thanks, Jenny
I use 8" for almost everything. They're a bit large for some projects and a bit small for others; but, it's generally a good compromise.
Thanks for responding!
Greeting from Thailand...can i use this style with tee shirt..thanks
Yes, you can do the same with a t-shirt.
Do they have to be curved hemostats? Having problems finding them at an affordable price.
You can use clothes hangers and c-clamps in a pinch; but, check eBay for hemostats. You can readily find 8" curved hemostats for $3 to $5/ea.
Casual Collisions thanks man I will do this!
What colors do you use?
Awesome!! So I can save my days for longer than 48 hours? The instruction said don’t use them after that long.
As long as it's procion dye and you didn't add soda ash to the liquid dye, yes - most colors will keep for about a week at room temperature and longer if refrigerated.
Also, use distilled water..this way you eliminate any substances that either interfere w the dye going in to the fabric, and increase the longevity of the mixed dye.
Thank you a lot💓💜💚
What materials do we need
Please tell me
It's my school fun time activity
We are about to do this in our next class
art club hey! i know it’s a year later but how did this turn out?
Excellent! Thanks!
Eloise Oi kkkk de
Is there another tool that can be used besides forceps that is easier to aquire?
Forceps are available from Amazon and eBay. Odontomed2011 on eBay has very good pricing and quality tools, if you want to look there.
As far as alternatives: You could form metal coat hangers into the shape you want and use c-clamps; but, that's going to be a lot of extra work and not work nearly as well.
@@CasualCollisions thanks. I didn't want to buy the forceps if I would only be using them once and have no other use for them later. But I assume using the old fashioned rubberbands wouldn't work for this right? Or even ziptie?
Will 5" homeostats work?
For smaller pieces of fabric, yes.
Can you use straight forceps? Or do they have to be the curved ones?
You can use straight; but, the resulting pattern will change from the slightly curved "petal" look to triangles.
@@CasualCollisions thank you. I have Alot of straight but no curved!
nice video
yes hi
Hello would u pls tell me what name of that tool u are using..thank you
The clamps are 8" stainless steel hemostats. They're available from eBay, Amazon, and medical supply stores.
Casual Collisions mamay thanks
Excellent design👌😊
where do you get the hemostats
eBay, Amazon, or a medical supply store. I believe the name of the seller I buy from on eBay is odontomed1.
That's Beautiful
Thank you.
Beautiful!!
Amazing! Genius!
What is soda ash
Sodium Carbonate. You can find it in most grocery stores in the laundry soap isle as "Arm & Hammer Laundry Booster/Super Washing Soda" in a bright yellow and red 3 pound box. That box will last a home dyer a very long time.
yery yery good lotus tai day
please tel me this dayes camical nem please
Very cool!
Thank you.
Amazing
Thank you.
What type/brand of dye do you use?
I use Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes from: www.dharmatrading.com
Wonderful! Can we use thread tying in stead of those clamps?
Not for this pattern. Clamps are necessary to re-create this pattern.
Do I need to use that scissors?
Because i don't have that thing
Yes, for this design you need to use curved hemostats.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
