⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️THICK WATER: th-cam.com/video/hzRSCyi_yZA/w-d-xo.html ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to publicly remind everyone that this is tie dye. This is an interpretation of the American flag. I know I didn’t start with a red stripe. I know I have one too many stripes. When you make yours do it correctly. My primary focus was on keeping the white, white. I achieved that. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for commenting and please be polite. ❤️🌈
@@arlenesteffen5286 Arlene, I wish I was set up for selling shirts so you could have one. If I can get to making some more and launch my Etsy, I’ll make an announcement. Thanks for watching! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
Great music for this one. I felt very emotional at the end when the Star Spangled Banner played. I served during Vietnam in the United States Air Force. Thank you for such a great video. I’ve been tie dyeing on and off since the mid 80’s.
Aww, emotional in a good way I hope. I really hope I didn’t upset you. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸 You’ve been dyeing for a long time. You could teach me a thing or two, so I really appreciate you watching me do what I love to do. ☺️❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo I wasn’t upset at all. Thank you for your concern. Seeing the beautiful shirt you just created and then the music just pulled at my heartstrings. The shirt was a build up of hard work, then the pink stripes (I felt very sad for you) and then the shirt flashed on the screen with the red, WHITE & blue with the powerful music playing. I just felt very proud in that moment. I hope this doesn’t sound to weird or anything. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months and I just want to see you do well.
I love this one! It reminds me of all those who fight for our country. The music and colors let me remember what so many of our hero’s have done for all of us. Thank you for all you do to teach us!
Omg! The National Anthem is a recording from the 50s. Merle Sparkman is playing 1st Trumpet. "Sparky" was in the Air Force Band. He and I became friends last year, he was 89 years young. "Sparky" left us January 12 2021. RIP Merle "Sparky" Sparkman
I actually started working with wire and metal this past year. The last few months though I started thinking of tie dying. I told a good friend about my idea (he LOVED tie dyes) and he urged me to try it. The next week he was killed in a car crash. I decided right then I was definitely going to do it. I am planning on a line of spiral shirts that incorporate his initials and some with a dolphin (his favorite mammal). The sodium alginate Easter egg is a GREAT one. I wondered whether I needed it or not, and now I know why I would need to use it! I appreciate you, and other artists, that share your time and knowledge with us. Thank you!
Alicia, I’m sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing with me. My baby brother passed in January. It’s devastating. He was a big supporter of me trying out this TH-cam thing and was proud of me for trying. What are his initials? Just curious. Sodium alginate is affordable and I swear by it, especially with keeping the white.. Thank you very much for watching. Be well my friend. 🥰❤️🌈
I've used that song several times in my videos. I was so intent watching what you were doing I didn't register the music but then noticed I was singing along. Safe and Secure from all alarms.
I made stained glass for 20 years, then fused glass then got into jewelry. Well with the pandemic, I had no reason to make jewelry anymore. My granddaughter wanted to do tie dyeing this summer, so I had her and my grandson over and we made several pieces and now I am hooked. I sold my kilns bought some dye and t-shirts and other clothing and I am watching your videos and having so much fun. In the seventies when I wanted to do tie dye I had no place to do it. I love your videos, thank you for all your help!
My sister makes stained glass. That’s a very labor intensive hobby requiring a lot of patience. Those Tiffany inspired lamps are IMPRESSIVE!! Tie dye satisfies my need for color and creativity without a soldering machine. 😁 I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the tutorials and loving tie dye too. It has completely changed my outlook on life! ❤️🌈
I've always tie-dyed usually for me or my kids. I would make them as gifts everybody couldn't wait cuz they knew what they were getting for me. Everybody always ask me to start selling my shirt. Had a cleaning service for 25 years when the superbug hit the cleaning lady was the first one to go. that's when I decided it was time for me to move on to something new and start selling my shirts. Now I only work part-time at my cleaning service pretty much full-time at my tie dyes. Thanks for your videos I love them you help me step out of my comfort zone a lot
This last year has changed so much for so many people! I’m happy to hear that you were able to use tie dye, something you love to do, to survive! I imagine after 25 years the change is nice. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon and if you want to spend more time growing your cleaning business you can, and if you don’t, well, hopefully tie dye will be the answer. I wish I could do tie dye full time. I love it! I’m glad my tutorials are inspiring for you because that’s my goal, to spread rainbows to anyone and everyone that’s interested in watching. ❤️🌈
So, are you saying you’re a hippie? ☺️ Carpentry is an amazing art form. I love most all types of music. I wish TH-cam allowed more freedom when it came to the music selection, I’d play all kinds of stuff. I find tie dyeing hurts my back, being hunch over a table for hours pulling on sinew. 😳❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Oh yeah, this is really cool. I did this myself and wote it today. A few people want to buy one. If they do, i promise to send you half the money. Thank you.
@@marylamb7707 Great job, Mary! I’m super glad to hear it! It makes me happy to know that I’ve inspired you to make one and people are enjoying it! 🥰🇺🇸❤️🌈
This is the first time I've seen your channel. Your music choices made me think of a Ken Burns documentary. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous T-shirt project!
This turned out so good!!! Makes me want to go watch fireworks and eat hot dogs! I was an occasional craft-store kit tie dyer for years. Usually in the summer we’d knock out some shirts and have a great time. During the lockdown I started watching Casual Collisions because his voice was so soothing 😂 so I decided to take the plunge on some REAL dyes and it’s just taken off from there.
Before we know it, it will be the 4th. I think this year we will get to have BBQ’s 😁 I watched him in the beginning too, still do! He sounds like Mr. Rogers to me. 😊 I bought a kit last August and made two shirts… I was hooked!! I’m obsessed with tie dye. ❤️🌈
Yes, Brian. I know at least that much. It still has errors but in its defense it’s only tie dye. It’s an interpretation of the American flag. After all, I’m not, Betsy Ross. 😉🇺🇸❤️🌈
I was very pleased to see how well the red and white stayed separate after seeing so much pink. Great job. I'm going to try this with my grandchildren.
Very good tutorial Stephanie. Great attention to detail and instruction. I’ve been tie dyeing for about 25 years. I’ve seen it ebb and flow in popularity over the years. It’s really making a strong comeback right now. Thanks for the added tips! 💜🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful. I am from New Zealand and our flag is red white and blue to, just a different configuration. I am just about to start tie dyeing again. I have been watching videos to get a feel for it and all my stuff has arrived and I'm a little apprehensive. I used to tie dye back in the day but it was so much different than what I am seeing now. I loved it then and with all the modern updates to the process it should be much easier. I am restricted somewhat in mobility but I'm stoked this is something I can actually do. If I can get to be half as good as you I will be very happy.
Hello, Shiree! How exciting to get back into tie dyeing. I love it! I bet it’s like riding a bike. Once you make a couple projects you’ll be right back into the swing of things. My uncle did tie dye in the 60’s and he told me the stuff we make today is way more advanced. I think the products and tools have advanced over the years and with the internet artists are able to share information and teach each other tips and tricks. I really appreciate you watching and leaving me such a lovely comment. 😁❤️🌈🇳🇿
blue area looks great with scrunchy white showing -- yes, the synthrapol is magic -- the actual flag starts red stripe & ends red stripe (7 red, 6 white) ;) -- nice job.
Thanks for the clarification, Richard! 😊 I probably should have looked at an actual flag first. My thoughts were I needed to keep the gap of white between the blue and red to avoid purple. The sinew worked so well next time I can probably do it correctly. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Another way to attempt to create a break between a red/blue not making purple, is widen the path of your Sinew a little to create a 1/4-1/2in or so of tightly wrapped to make a small breaker bar of sorts between the shifts. Just a thought from a non tie dyer...
I think this is an awesome channel, just saw this video last night and had to finish it this morning, these are the type of videos TH-cam was made for!
I used to tie dye back in the early 80's I'd use my mom's turkey roaster on the stove and use Rit dye to cook the dye into the fabric. All things considered the shirts would turn out pretty good. Yours are a million times better.
Thank you, Sharon! I remember doing the RIT method with my Granny when I was little. It’s still very much a technique used today. These procion dyes are on a whole different level! They are amazing and extremely vibrant! ❤️🌈
You put so much work into this and it paid off. I love the music. You’re so talented. Thank you so much for sharing this patriotic pattern 🇺🇸 God bless America.
I find it to be tremendously helpful in aiding with keeping white, white. It’s so easy to make, so why not! Thanks for watching and commenting, Aubrey! ❤️🌈
I have been tie dying for five years now. My father got me started to help me deal with the death of my son. He was 29 and died of a heroine overdose. I truly appreciate all of TH-cam’s tie dyers. Y’all have taught me so much. 😁
I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your son. That’s such a tragedy. Thank you for sharing. Tie dye is very therapeutic. I know it helps me tremendously with my depression and stress. I’m glad that we are here to inspire others. That makes me happy to hear. ☺️❤️🌈
Thank you for this. It turned out really nice! The pink stripes had me worried but you pulled it out. Thanks for the tip. I watch all your tutorials from start to finish. I think it’s great that you want to teach others to tie dye. I’ve been tie dyeing on and off for several years and started again during quarantine. I love it and the tie dye community. Thanks again! 💙💙💙
Thank you so much! I was stressed out about the pink stripes too. All that hard work for pink!!?! was what I was thinking during the rinse out. Thank the tie dye gods for synthrapol. I started during this last year to pass the time and completely became obsessed with the art form. In general I’d have to agree with you, most everyone I’ve met in the tie dye community has been very supportive and helpful. We all have to start somewhere. 😊❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo That’s right, we all have to start somewhere. I’m lucky, I fell in with a group of old hippies that took me under their wing. Then when the internet was invented over time we were able to have access to more supplies and share our techniques, like what you’re doing today. I think it’s a wonderful thing. Art should be shared. 💙
I appreciated that you individually wrapped the sections, because it was in line with your vision for the shirt. I really liked the finished product! Very cool 😎
I started tie dying after I injured my knee at work. I found Carl Mr. Tie Dye first then casual collision, Angie tie endeavors and dharma and your tie dye channel I find It to be very therapeutic. I also make artisan soaps and crochet and bake. Thanks for sharing yours.❤
I’m sorry to hear about your injury, Kim. I hope you’re feeling better and healing up. I too started with, Mr. Tie Dye, Fun Endeavors, Casual Collisions and Riah’s Tie Dye. I watched everything over and over (I still watch) then went and bought a kit at Michael’s. I was hooked! I made a large order with Dharma and the rest is history. I launched this TH-cam channel as an outlet to share my creations. I was bugging everyone with messages and pictures!! With TH-cam I can put it out there which satisfies my desire to show everyone and help others learn along with me as I go… and leave my friends and family alone. ☺️ I knit too. I am awful at crocheting. I’ve seen soap making. It looks like a lot of fun, but if start another hobby I’ll have to move into a bigger house! ❤️🌈
I watch those channels too. Fun Endeavors is my favorite next to Belladonna, Steph I think her name is. I also watch Riah’s Tie Dye, but she isn’t making much tapestries anymore and LSD makes really cool designs. I love learning about tie dye. I’ve been interested in soap making but with all my other hobbies I haven’t given it a try because I’m running out of room. Do you have a TH-cam?
That turned out AMAZING!!!! How did I miss this one? I'm definitely making one for my daughter to wear to work on the 4th. Love the music, too...the fiddle, spoons, banjo & guitar throughout then the anthem. Just perfect! I started a lot of things this last year, too. Sewing masks & clothes, quilt tops, tie dye. Interesting year for sure. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Ann! When I make this one again I’m going to make the stripes a little wider. The wash out was a stressful one! I purposely chose the music to have an good ole American feel to it. I love all types of music. I wish I knew how to sew. That’s one hobby I don’t do. This years has been super interesting and it’s still going strong here in Oregon. 👎👎 Thank you for watching and sharing your hobbies with me. 🥰❤️🌈
Awesome shirt ! I would have tried to use tiny hair elastics first to put the stars in where I wanted them ? And THEN did the scrunch . Just a thought . 😁
Ok, I am shocked at how white that white is. I LOVE this and I generally roll my eyes at "Let's wear American Flag apparrel" shirts. I would totally wear this!
Great tutorial. I love synthrapol. I also use Dharma’s textile detergent. It’s a little cheaper. I started dyeing in the late 1960’s It’s so nice to see the art form going so strong. Keep up the good work. ✌🏻
Good to know! I’ve only used synthrapol. I bought a gallon 8 months ago. Such a small amount goes a long way, so it’s lasting forever. I’ll check out Dharma’s brand and see if I like it. You have many years of experience, so I really appreciate your comments and advice when you give it. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️🌈
Wow! This is a work of art! I’ve always wanted to own an American Flag tie dye shirt! This is the prettiest one I’ve seen! I don’t know what the terms/names are for the thickeners and such, but I’d love to learn! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! 🇺🇸💕Rhonda
Wow, thank you, Rhonda! Here’s a link to thickened water. Also, everything I use to tie dye is listed in the description box for your ease. 🇺🇸❤️🌈 th-cam.com/video/hzRSCyi_yZA/w-d-xo.html
Wow! This turned out great! I was afraid that the white was going to be pink, but it turned out beautiful!! I’m so excited to see your work. It’s fun to watch. ❤️🤍💙
26:24 Just to the right of the center line I spy Chief Blackhawk with his war bonnet on. Extreme wicked cool. Tfs. Btw, what exactly is thick water? Like similar to a wax resist for paper? So, stay pretty while living your dream. =^..^= Blessings. *:D
I’m glad you like it! I can see Cheif Blackhawk too. Thanks for the imagery. Thick water is sodium alginate and tap water. I have a tutorial showing the process. I’ve since changed my recipe and I’m working on a revised tutorial but here is the link for now. I use 2 cups water to 1/2 tsp sodium alginate. ❤️🌈 th-cam.com/video/SGGosW2QZ1E/w-d-xo.html
I did this the day before the 4th of July! I made matching shirts for me, my husband, and our children. They turned out amazing and we got alot of compliments yesterday Thank you !!!
That is awesome! I’m so happy to hear it!!! Do you have Facebook? I have a page, BelladonnaDyesCo. I would love to see your results. If you find the flag post you can share your photos there. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🌈
OMG! 🤣😂🤣😂 Seriously though, who can thumbs down an obvious attempt at patriotism. Some jealous loser. At least that’s what I have to tell myself to keep from crying. 😊❤️🌈
It may help if you use those shelf liners that are spongy with holes in them or the under liner they sell for area rugs to help prevent the carpet from slipping. Waiting for the reveal!!! Oooohh, nice!
So, just a few things. This flag pattern is the best I have seen. GREAT JOB!! As far as sinew goes, you don't need to do a slip knot at the beginning, just a lot of wraps and tighten as you go. Also, sinew does not absorb dye, it is covered in a waxy substance that repels dye. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, Anon!! What kind words. I probably over thought this one but I desperately wanted the white stripes to stay white. For the most part I feel that was achieved. I know what I’ll do different for next time. ☺️❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo most stores have them in the laundry aisle. Shout color catcher sheets. You can rip one in half and throw it into the washer when you're doing the final wash and rinse. It immediately attracts any free dye

My son and I started tie dying for fun. After watching numerous videos. We started experimenting
That’s exactly how I got started! It’s awesome you do it with your son. Good bonding time. ☺️❤️🌈
I’m impressed the white turned out so white. It was pink during the wash out. Great job.
I know! I was super concerned when I pulled it out of the bin to rinse it. I’m so glad I had synthrapol to save the day!! 😁❤️🌈
I think this is an awesome channel, just saw this video last night and had to finish it this morning, these are the type of videos TH-cam was made for!
You rock!! Thank you so much! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙❤️🌈
I used to tie dye back in the early 80's I'd use my mom's turkey roaster on the stove and use Rit dye to cook the dye into the fabric. All things considered the shirts would turn out pretty good. Yours are a million times better.
Thank you, Sharon! I remember doing the RIT method with my Granny when I was little. It’s still very much a technique used today. These procion dyes are on a whole different level! They are amazing and extremely vibrant! ❤️🌈
Wow ! And extra points for the star spangled banner, just awesome.
Thanks for noticing! I tried to be patriotic all the way around on this one. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
You put so much work into this and it paid off. I love the music. You’re so talented. Thank you so much for sharing this patriotic pattern 🇺🇸 God bless America.
Thanks for noticing. I tried to pick music to fit the tone of the shirt and what it represents. I appreciate you watching and commenting. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I've watched tons of tie dye videos over the years. This is the first I've heard of using thick water. What a cool idea!
I find it to be tremendously helpful in aiding with keeping white, white. It’s so easy to make, so why not! Thanks for watching and commenting, Aubrey! ❤️🌈
I have been tie dying for five years now. My father got me started to help me deal with the death of my son. He was 29 and died of a heroine overdose.
I truly appreciate all of TH-cam’s tie dyers. Y’all have taught me so much. 😁
I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your son. That’s such a tragedy. Thank you for sharing. Tie dye is very therapeutic. I know it helps me tremendously with my depression and stress. I’m glad that we are here to inspire others. That makes me happy to hear. ☺️❤️🌈
I’m sorry too. Heartbreaking.
@@DHen-ye2iv 💔🌈
@@DHen-ye2iv Thank you. ❤️
Covid got me into tie dye. You can only watch so much Netflix. Thanks for all your videos. Nice job ALWAYS. ❤️
Same! I agree. I had to do something. I’m hooked. Thanks for tuning in. 😁❤️🌈
Thank you for this. It turned out really nice! The pink stripes had me worried but you pulled it out. Thanks for the tip. I watch all your tutorials from start to finish. I think it’s great that you want to teach others to tie dye. I’ve been tie dyeing on and off for several years and started again during quarantine. I love it and the tie dye community. Thanks again! 💙💙💙
Thank you so much! I was stressed out about the pink stripes too. All that hard work for pink!!?! was what I was thinking during the rinse out. Thank the tie dye gods for synthrapol. I started during this last year to pass the time and completely became obsessed with the art form. In general I’d have to agree with you, most everyone I’ve met in the tie dye community has been very supportive and helpful. We all have to start somewhere. 😊❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo That’s right, we all have to start somewhere. I’m lucky, I fell in with a group of old hippies that took me under their wing. Then when the internet was invented over time we were able to have access to more supplies and share our techniques, like what you’re doing today. I think it’s a wonderful thing. Art should be shared. 💙
I appreciated that you individually wrapped the sections, because it was in line with your vision for the shirt. I really liked the finished product! Very cool 😎
Thank you, Ann! I’m appreciate you understanding my process. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I started tie dying after I injured my knee at work. I found Carl Mr. Tie Dye first then casual collision, Angie tie endeavors and dharma and your tie dye channel I find It to be very therapeutic. I also make artisan soaps and crochet and bake. Thanks for sharing yours.❤
I’m sorry to hear about your injury, Kim. I hope you’re feeling better and healing up. I too started with, Mr. Tie Dye, Fun Endeavors, Casual Collisions and Riah’s Tie Dye. I watched everything over and over (I still watch) then went and bought a kit at Michael’s. I was hooked! I made a large order with Dharma and the rest is history. I launched this TH-cam channel as an outlet to share my creations. I was bugging everyone with messages and pictures!! With TH-cam I can put it out there which satisfies my desire to show everyone and help others learn along with me as I go… and leave my friends and family alone. ☺️ I knit too. I am awful at crocheting. I’ve seen soap making. It looks like a lot of fun, but if start another hobby I’ll have to move into a bigger house! ❤️🌈
I watch those channels too. Fun Endeavors is my favorite next to Belladonna, Steph I think her name is. I also watch Riah’s Tie Dye, but she isn’t making much tapestries anymore and LSD makes really cool designs. I love learning about tie dye. I’ve been interested in soap making but with all my other hobbies I haven’t given it a try because I’m running out of room. Do you have a TH-cam?
Thanks so much for taking the time to teach new designs that seemed impossible!
You are so welcome! I appreciate you watching and commenting. 😁🇺🇸❤️🌈
That turned out AMAZING!!!! How did I miss this one? I'm definitely making one for my daughter to wear to work on the 4th. Love the music, too...the fiddle, spoons, banjo & guitar throughout then the anthem. Just perfect! I started a lot of things this last year, too. Sewing masks & clothes, quilt tops, tie dye. Interesting year for sure. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Ann! When I make this one again I’m going to make the stripes a little wider. The wash out was a stressful one! I purposely chose the music to have an good ole American feel to it. I love all types of music. I wish I knew how to sew. That’s one hobby I don’t do. This years has been super interesting and it’s still going strong here in Oregon. 👎👎 Thank you for watching and sharing your hobbies with me. 🥰❤️🌈
Awesome result and great tutorial. Keep it up
Thanks so much ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🌈
you did a fantastic job. this from an old hippie girl who loved doing this
Cynthia, you should whip up some tie dye! I love it!! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️🌈
This is something I’d enjoy both wearing AND gifting. Nicely done.
Awesome! Thank you! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
Proud to wear this T-shirt
Proud to be a American🇺🇸
I’m really glad you like it! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I’ve been looking at multiple red white and blue T-shirts and this is my favorite
Awesome shirt ! I would have tried to use tiny hair elastics first to put the stars in where I wanted them ? And THEN did the scrunch . Just a thought . 😁
That’s a great suggestion, Rebecca. The tiny elastics are a great idea. I had even tinier bands with my braces, I bet those would work great. ❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo 👌🤞
@@rebeccaellis6771 😁❤️🌈
Ok, I am shocked at how white that white is. I LOVE this and I generally roll my eyes at "Let's wear American Flag apparrel" shirts. I would totally wear this!
Wow. This turned out so wonderful!!!
Thanks so much, Fonda!! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I learned more about ur tie dye, but I have no budget to do, 😊😊😊 thank you, I salute you
Great tutorial. I love synthrapol. I also use Dharma’s textile detergent. It’s a little cheaper. I started dyeing in the late 1960’s It’s so nice to see the art form going so strong. Keep up the good work. ✌🏻
Good to know! I’ve only used synthrapol. I bought a gallon 8 months ago. Such a small amount goes a long way, so it’s lasting forever. I’ll check out Dharma’s brand and see if I like it. You have many years of experience, so I really appreciate your comments and advice when you give it. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️🌈
That looks nice. And I’m not a tie die fan. I would wear that shirt. Nice job.
Well, I really appreciate you watching and commenting. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙❤️🌈
Wow! This is a work of art! I’ve always wanted to own an American Flag tie dye shirt! This is the prettiest one I’ve seen! I don’t know what the terms/names are for the thickeners and such, but I’d love to learn! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! 🇺🇸💕Rhonda
Wow, thank you, Rhonda! Here’s a link to thickened water. Also, everything I use to tie dye is listed in the description box for your ease. 🇺🇸❤️🌈 th-cam.com/video/hzRSCyi_yZA/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely agree!
I have yet to tie dye. But this looks awesome! If I do... this will be the first pattern I'll try! Turned out 👏 amazing!
Well, thank you!! Once you try tie dye I bet you’ll be hooked! It’s so much fun!!! ❤️🌈🇺🇸
Hahaha that’s soooo friggin awesome!!! God Bless America!
Thanks a lot!! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
That shirt looks Awesome! Great job
Thanks!!! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
Absolutely amazing!!!!! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Thank you, Amy!!! 🇺🇸🧨❤️🌈
Wow look at that white..great job
Yes, thanks! I was pleasantly surprised. The rinse out had me a tad nervous. 😬❤️🌈
Wow! This turned out great! I was afraid that the white was going to be pink, but it turned out beautiful!! I’m so excited to see your work. It’s fun to watch. ❤️🤍💙
Thank you! I was scared too… 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I salute your ingenuity... and the shirt too.
Thank you! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
This turned out great!! Love it! 🇺🇸
Thank you very much! That pink had me sweating. Synthrapol is a miracle detergent. 😁❤️🌈
I'm so glad your whites stayed pretty bright!
Me too, Margaret! ❤️🌈
That looks GOOOOD wow
I really appreciate it, Liam!! ❤️🌈
This is beautiful and I’ve learned more then on ANY other video! Thanks a. Bunch!!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️🌈
26:24 Just to the right of the center line I spy Chief Blackhawk with his war bonnet on. Extreme wicked cool. Tfs. Btw, what exactly is thick water? Like similar to a wax resist for paper? So, stay pretty while living your dream. =^..^= Blessings. *:D
I’m glad you like it! I can see Cheif Blackhawk too. Thanks for the imagery. Thick water is sodium alginate and tap water. I have a tutorial showing the process. I’ve since changed my recipe and I’m working on a revised tutorial but here is the link for now. I use 2 cups water to 1/2 tsp sodium alginate. ❤️🌈

Awesome shirt. Very impressed. Couldn't be better
I really appreciate it, thank you! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
“Chinese red” for American flag tie-dye lol.
I feel like there is a symbology there.
We also celebrate independence day with a Chinese celebration.
😁😁😁😁😁
not like it matters on a 14 stripe us flag shirt lol
It was Chinese everything actually. The sink, gloves, the t-shirt even the sinew. Thank the politicians from the 80s.
That’s nuts. What a cool finale
Thank you very much!!! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🌈
That is AWESOME!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much!! ❤️🤍💙❤️🌈
Great job, I actually like the way the red stripes turned out rather than just solid red.
Thank you very much! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤
Yes! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I did this the day before the 4th of July! I made matching shirts for me, my husband, and our children. They turned out amazing and we got alot of compliments yesterday
Thank you !!!
That is awesome! I’m so happy to hear it!!! Do you have Facebook? I have a page, BelladonnaDyesCo. I would love to see your results. If you find the flag post you can share your photos there. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo I don't have Facebook but my husband does. I'll get on his account and share them with you !

🎵What can you do with a drunkin sailor early in the morning 🎶
😊 Depends on if he’s hungover or not. 😂❤️🌈🏴☠️
Omg I am in love with this shirt!!!!!!! It looks absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!
Thank you very much!!! I’m glad you like it. ☺️❤️🌈🇺🇸

This came out awesome! Better than anything you can get at the store nowadays! 🇺🇸
Thank you, Emmet, I really appreciate your comment! ❤️🌈
The one thumbs down is from a Russian troll.
OMG! 🤣😂🤣😂 Seriously though, who can thumbs down an obvious attempt at patriotism. Some jealous loser. At least that’s what I have to tell myself to keep from crying. 😊❤️🌈
Very cool shirt and lots of great tips!
Thank you, Susan! ❤️🌈
Beautiful! Great design!
Thank you, Kitty! 😊❤️🌈
It may help if you use those shelf liners that are spongy with holes in
them or the under liner they sell for area rugs to help prevent the carpet
from slipping.
Waiting for the reveal!!!
Oooohh, nice!
What would the shelf liner be doing? To absorb dye?? Hmmm 🤔❤️🌈
I LOVE this shirt! I think it came out beautifully!
Yay, thank you, Susan!! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I clicked on this simply for your channel name...amazing...now to watch,,...
Welcome aboard, Drew!! Do you tie dye? ❤️🌈
Really great job! I absolutely love this shirt, it’s gorgeous!🇺🇸🙌🏼
Thank you, Aundrea, I really appreciate it. 🇺🇸❤️🌈
I absolutely love this and will try it myself. Love the music with this video. Great job !
Awesome! Thank you! ❤️🤍💙❤️🌈
Great 'vision' for finished look -- and impressive outcome!!
Thank you very much, Laura! 🇺🇸🌈❤️
So, just a few things. This flag pattern is the best I have seen. GREAT JOB!! As far as sinew goes, you don't need to do a slip knot at the beginning, just a lot of wraps and tighten as you go. Also, sinew does not absorb dye, it is covered in a waxy substance that repels dye. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! 😁 I agree with everything you said. Thanks for the tips, Pieper. ❤️🌈
Nice! I have not tried to tie dye yet, but this will be my first pattern when I do. Thank you
You can do it! It’s a fun pattern to make. It gets a lot of compliments. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🌈
Terrific. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I’m not a huge tie dye fan but I really like this one. 👍🏻
Ohh I LOVE tie dye! I’m glad you like this one. Thanks for watching and commenting, Lynne! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
Wow this turned out amazing
Thanks a lot, Sammantha! 🇺🇸❤️🌈
Seam ripper a good idea..turned out nice 👌
Thanks, Pam! Be very careful when using the seam ripper. It will tear a hole easily. ❤️🌈
Wow!!! That was such a detailed process! The shirt looks AMAZING and you should be very proud of your work!!!
Thank you, Anon!! What kind words. I probably over thought this one but I desperately wanted the white stripes to stay white. For the most part I feel that was achieved. I know what I’ll do different for next time. ☺️❤️🌈
Color catcher sheets work amazing too
Great tip! I’ve never used them. Where do you get those? ❤️🌈
That is exactly what I was thinking… perhaps even use one in the sink during the rinse?
@@BelladonnaDyesCo most stores have them in the laundry aisle. Shout color catcher sheets. You can rip one in half and throw it into the washer when you're doing the final wash and rinse. It immediately attracts any free dye
@@Lady.Luck. Thank you! I’ll look into them. ❤️🌈
@@embroideryartist I think I want the dye to go down the drain… in the washing machine they might be perfect. ❤️🌈
