I really appreciate your videos so much. You speak so clearly and concisely that even a complete beginner like me can understand. Thank you!!
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you like them! 🙂
This is so beautiful. I had no idea such a dyeing method existed. Learned something cool! I love the colors and patterns. Nicely done!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video.
Most Beautiful Geode Tie Dye Shirt I’ve Ever Seen!!!
Thank you so much! 🙂
I adore the geode pattern!!
Thank you - I really love geodes too!
Angie I LOVE THIS GEODE great job!!
Thank you so much!
Ooh that's SO funky 😍🤞🏻I just got my 1st tie dye kit, your my inspiration 😝🤣🤣🌻💙💜🏴
Thank you! That's great - I'm sure you are going to love it! 😀
I love, love, love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much - I'm glad you are enjoying them! 😀
What a beautiful shirt!
Thank you so much!
This looks amazing. Such an excellent process
Thank you so much!
I swear I was just wishing there was an updated geode ice dye! Thank you so much for sharing your art. I have recently caught a new spark for dying cloth and ITCHING to get my hands on the supplies! Does anyone have a recommendation for the best place to shop for economical dyes? I need to sell some of my current work so I can start "dying"! ;)
Thank you! I buy from Dharma Trading Company, Grateful Dyes, Custom Colours, and ProChemical and Dye. Right now some of the colors are kind of hard to get though because Cerulean blue was either discontinued or just hard to get and a lot of the colors are mixed from Cerulean. I'd check stock on the colors you are interested in to see who has the best color selection. Dharma seems to be having a hard time keeping up with inventory because of the high demand right now. I had several colors canceled from my last order that showed in stock when it was placed. Here are links to the places I mentioned above.

You tutorials are fantastic! Xxxx
Thank you so much!
This is great!! Nice artistry and good video skills! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
That looks amazing!

Thank you so much!
Whoooooooaaaaa!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Ooo so beautiful I love blue~
Thank you!
I have four words. You are the best!
Thank you! 😃
Sweat! Yes, the Ecru was a nice color pop to the beautiful blues with the white lines.
Thank you! I love using Ecru on geodes.
Excellent instructions!!! Your videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Top marks given for explaining why you choose colors, for example, or why you need to really pull sinew tight, are all so valuable tips to learn, and I find some videos just assume we newbies come here, armed with basic knowledge, when in fact we don’t. So all the tips, suggestions, and reasons that you give all throughout, it’s very much appreciated
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you liked it!
My favorite pink blue w/white!!
Ps,Teaching me learn how to tie dye..
Tie dye design colors beautiful...
Thank you so much 😊
Whoa, it totally looks like geode! I never knew you can achieve something like this with tie dye. Fantastic!
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Gorgeous. I am new to tie dying and your videos are very informative. I will be trying a geode ice dye soon!
Thank you so much - I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! 🙂
Absolutely 💯% awesome.👌
Thank you so much 😀
Deep space is byfar my favorite dye to ice dye with, the colors that emerge are phenomenal 🌌
I love that color too!
Thank you for the information! what an amazing resource to give out for free
You are welcome - I hope you enjoy!
Fun Endeavors Thank you, walking out the door to by sinew as we speak 😂
@@Levi-Salmon Awesome - have fun!
That was gorgeous
Thank you so much!
This is the first of your videos I have seen- and I have subscribed! What an interesting process and effect. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thank you so much!
That is really pretty! I love the cake mold idea. Less wasteful than tin foil and cardboard. I will try that!
Thank you! 😊 I love the silicone cake molds - they are perfect for ice dyeing!
I really like your videos. Pleasant to watch. I subscribed so that I don't miss anything.
Thank you so much - I'm glad you are enjoying them!
I’ve tried this and love my results! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been busy making shirts and giving them away to family and friends! Covid Craft!
That's great - I'm glad you are having fun!
Wow that was a really great tutorial. Thank you! I had never thought to do both ice over dye and dye over ice at the same time! I also let my stuff dry fully before dyeing, it seems to keep the colors where I placed them better and definitely brighter, better absorption. Can't wait to watch more!
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it! 😊
Thank you for the explanation of the soda ash on top. That explains why my ice dyes didn't work well.
I'm glad that it helped!
i love the idea of using those cake molds .. they are very flexible it looks like and it would be very easy toget them snug around your item .. way kewl .. thank you for sharing
Yes, they are awesome! I saw another tie dyer suggest them and so I bought some myself. They are perfect for unusual shaped ice dyes. They make cleanup a breeze too.
Gorgeous
Thank you!
I LOVE this pattern! I have a great nephew that shares my love of rocks, geodes, crystals and agates that will absolutely love this shirt! I already plan to make him a Pokemon shirt but he's going to get two for Christmas!😅 thank you!
Thank you! That's great, I'm sure he is going to love it! 😀
i love your style
Thanks!
I'm obsessed with geodes and I have you to thank! I'm currently making them into pillow covers! Fun to combine my love of sewing and tie dying. Trouble is that fabric is almost as hard to find as dye! I also vary it sometimes by applying the dye on top of the ice. Thanks for the inspiration.
That's awesome! I'm sure your pillows look great!
Wow, so cool!
Thank you!
Good work!
Thank you!
Love this 😍😍😍
Thank you! 🙂
Wow, your clothes are so beautiful
Thank you!
Very nice 👏🏻
Thank you 😊
Lovely
Thank you! 🙂
i have been trying to get myself to do some more ice dye and this is great inspiration. I have done one other geode which I liked but I love all your blues in this one. Now I need to go look for some cake molds. What a great idea! I cut up cardboard into strips but these sound like they might be easier. , , an reusable!
Thank you - I'm glad I inspired you! I love the silicone cake molds - they are so easy to use. They are a breeze to mold around unusual shapes and they wash up so well to reuse. I used to use cardboard too, but it was really time consuming to cut the cardboard into strips and form it around the folds. I actually use to try to pick folds where I didn't need an ice barrier. The silicone molds take minutes to form around the shirt and clothespins are great to hold them in place where they don't move. Also, if you need to turn the shirt over - they are easy to rearrange to fit the shirt if needed. Here's a link to the ones I bought on Amazon. amzn.to/2EnsaU2
@@FunEndeavors thanks! I have already been on Amazon to look. :-)
@@cbarrosdallas awesome - I hope you love them as much as I do!
My daughter and I are just getting into tie-dye. And your videos are super helpful to Us. Your designs and color combinations are brilliant. Thank you so much for the inspiration that you provide.
Thank you! That's great - I hope you all have a lot of fun tie dyeing together.
Sweet geode!😀
Thanks! 😁
It's one of the best I have seen. The colors are awesome! 👍💙
@@susanwhite7375 Thank you so much - I'm glad you like it!
@@FunEndeavors I tried a shirt today after watching your video. Letting it dry out before dyeing. Not sure what colors I'm going to do yet. I LOVE all your blues but I don't have that many. I'm going have to get some of that Deep Space!😊✌
@@susanwhite7375 I get most of my geode inspiration by searching the internet for geode photos. Nature truly does have the best color combinations! I love Deep Space - you can substitute a different darker blue though if you have one.
Amei lindooo
Thank you!
Wow! So beautiful. Would you be willing to do a sock geode tutorial..Please?
Thank you! I will add it to my list.
Great!!!! Love this! Do you have a list of the products you used? X
Thank you! Yes, I have them all listed below this video in the description. 🙂
Thank you for all your helpful demos ❤ I’ve doing some geode shirts and tea towels. I just rinsed out a tea towel and there are an odd amount of very square shaped geodes 🤔 Was going for more rounded ones… not sure what did wrong. Any ideas on this subject? Thanks 😊
Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! I frequently lift my shirt up and give it a shake to let it fall naturally while I am tying them. I don't know that I've ever ended up with square geodes though, and I'm not sure what caused them. Do they look cool? They sound like the would look very cool and unique.
Wanderful!
Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for your videos. I just started tie dye this year and I use them all the time. What is the main difference between using sinew and waxed dental floss to tie up the shirts?
Thank you so much - I'm glad you are enjoying them! I haven't ever tried using dental floss for tie dye so I really can't do a fair comparison. However, sinew is much more heavy duty than dental floss. It has several strands wound together, and the kind that I use has a tensile strength of 70 pounds. So, you can really pull on the sinew to get it super tight without it breaking.
wow!!!!
Thank you!

Thank you! 🙂
@@FunEndeavors Thank you! I'm trying your way as we speak
@@2STEEZY Awesome!!!
@@FunEndeavors I can't wait to see how it turns out, I used Yellow, Green & Red
just awesome , question though do you have to use sinew string for it to work?
Thank you! Yes, if you would like the white lines in the shirt - that comes from the sinew. Because sinew is wax coated, it will make a waterproof barrier under the sinew line that won't allow the dye to get to that area. Without the sinew, you will get the shape of the geode, but the colors will run together and you won't have the white definition lines.
Okay thank you very much
Eso son los que tiñese es anilina, desde costarica
I use Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dyes.
I must say that this is the nicest one yet 🙂 This makes me want to make one, but I have never made ice dye before and it seems kinda intimidating 😳 Thanks for posting this cool shirt 🙂👍 What size is it, btw?
Thank you so much! You should just go for it - what's the worst that could happen? I absolutely love ice dyeing. I think the first one I ever made was a scrunch that was rack dyed and after I rinsed it out - I was hooked. The silicone cake molds have made some of the designs so much easier.
This one is an Adult size Medium.
I tried tie dying and it was a failure. I need to change up my methods. It is worth it to give something great to my grandchildren.
Wow this is so cool. Could you show us how to ice dye a small baby-tee or crop top?
Thank you! I'll add it to my list.
hi thanks for the BEAUTIFUL video - so glad you're putting out more content!!! hey so i can never get my lines thin like that, and when i do, there's always way too much white space around it. am i tying it too tight? any ideas for troubleshooting this? i feel like i put so much ice already :/
Hmm...I'm not exactly sure what's going on. I pull mine tight, but I don't do a whole lot of wraps of the sinew on each line - just about 2 or 3.
I think I get better saturation of geodes when I apply the dye to a dry shirt. I've also had better success rack dyeing them rather than "muck" dyeing them. It's easier to tell if the dye is going all the way through the shirt if it is on a rack. After the ice on the first side melts, I check it and if it isn't coming through really well - I flip it over and add dye to the back side. This one I didn't have to flip, but many of them I do. The Ecru that I sprinkled over the top of the ice is great to fill in any gaps in the dye too.
@@FunEndeavors ah thank you so much! i did one today and i did dry the shirt all the way since you mentioned that in the video. i didn't flip it but i did end up adding more ice and soda ash on top because there were a few white spots. i'll let you know how it turns out tmrw! thanks for all the great tips - i used ecru to fill in the gaps too :) my geodes *should* come out shades of purple if all goes as planned (hm on second thought i wonder how that ecru is gonna mix with purple...oh well!)
@@zookeepersteph awesome - let me know how it turns out!
Niceee
Thanks 🤗
Love your video. My wife and I want to try this with a full-size cotton flat sheet, to hang on the ceiling of the She Shack/ Man Cave! Ha! Should we fold into quarters and then tie up the four layers?
Thank you! I personally would leave it flat to tie it up. It's going to take awhile, but I think it would look cool to not have any areas with a repeating design. You could also make the geodes a little larger. That will be a cool addition to your she shack/man cave!
@@FunEndeavors Thanks for your quick response. this makes sense, thank you!
@@sje7119 You're welcome - I hope it turns out awesome!!!
Perfeição de técnica, pena q ao mostrar o material é muito rápido.
Thank you! If you click the "Settings" icon (it looks like a sprocket) at the bottom of the video, there is a setting called "playback speed" - you can click that and slow down the entire video by choosing one of the smaller numbers.
Yes me one
I love your videos so much. I am so excited to give it a try but I have no idea how much dye to order. Can you help??
Thank you! If you are only making a few shirts, the smaller 2 ounce containers of each dye color will be more than enough.
I personally still buy 2 ounce containers of a lot of the dye colors. I buy larger containers of the colors that I use all the time, but I can dye quite a few shirts with a 2 ounce container of dye.
I'm not sure where you would like to purchase dye from, but Dharma is one of the most popular places so I'll use them as an example. If you are mixing liquid dye, not all dye colors use the same amount of powdered dye to mix 1 cup of liquid dye. Dharma dye colors that do not have an "*" behind the color name require 2 teaspoons of dye to mix 1 cup of dye. Colors that have a "*" behind the name require 4 teaspoons of dye, and colors with two "**" require 8 teaspoons of dye. Therefore, some dyes colors will go a bit further than others. Also, the dyes are sold by weight so there will be a difference in the amount of actual powdered dye in each container.
If you are ice dyeing, the mixing instructions for liquid dye won't matter and you will use the same amount of powdered dye regardless of the color. I actually think I use less of the really dark two "**" colors when I ice dye.
I know that is a lot of information. If you prefer, Dharma, Grateful Dyes, and Prochemical and Dye all have tie dye kits. That is always a great place to start. The kits contain their professional dyes along with all the other supplies you will need to make a few shirts.
Have fun tie dyeing!!! 🙂
Thank you, I want to try the ice dye for your geode dyes...they are so pretty
@@chitownmade2861 I love how unique each geode tie dye is - just like real geodes!
Do you have to use the sinew to make a geode pattern? Can rubber bands bring about the same effect?
I haven't used rubber bands to make a geode shirt. However, if you wrap the rubber bands tightly enough around the shirt where the dye won't get under them - I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I have watched several videos and am wondering where you are using the urea when ice dyeing the shirts? I have not heard it mentioned.
I only use Urea when I liquid dye. Urea is to help get the dye into solution and to help keep the fabric from drying out during the dyeing process. When I mix liquid dye, I add the urea along with the dye and water.
These are awesome! Do you have a shop online to purchase your shirts? Thank you!
Thank you! Yes, I have a website - here is a link.

Do you have these to buy? I absolutely love this geode design and I don't have patience or artistic talent. This one is beautiful
Thank you - I'm glad you like it! I do sell them, but right now I don't have any available on my website. I have several tied that are waiting for dye and so I should have some more geodes available soon. Here is a link to my website: www.funendeavors.com/
@@FunEndeavors thank you!
@@Rayraywheelz You're welcome!
Love love this! Can I ask what the urea is for?
Thank you! Urea is mainly used to help keep the items from drying out while they are processing. I live in a very hot climate and so I normally add it to my liquid dye. However, a lot of tie dyers don't ever use it. It is also used to help get the dye into solution.
@@FunEndeavors thank you, that's helpful!
@@Laurescence you're welcome!
Do you have a tutorial for a starburst tie-dye pattern
I have quite a few burst tutorials on my channel. Here is a link to a liquid one that I made: th-cam.com/video/V6KD3xPh67o/w-d-xo.html
Here's a link to an ice dyed one: th-cam.com/video/4CwRZc7UW8A/w-d-xo.html
I also have some reverse dyed burst videos too.
Love it! I dont understand how you keep the white, white.
Thank you! On this shirt, the white lines come from the sinew I use to tie it with. Since it is wax coated it forms a barrier that won't allow the dye to get under it. When you wrap your geode, make sure to pull the sinew really tight until you feel it lock down and tighten. Here's a link to the sinew that I use: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
@@FunEndeavors Thank you for the tip on the sinew. Where did you buy that amazing wooden spool that you have the sinew on?
@@shannonderr8376 You're welcome - I hope it helps. I purchased my sinew puller from Nikolay Savin. Here is his facebook page where you can contact him: facebook.com/nstiedye/
@@FunEndeavors Fantastic!! Thank you so much :)
@@shannonderr8376 You're welcome!
Love it! Where do you get your shirts from? Have you done socks too? I want to do some, but I'm having a hard time finding socks that are 100% cotton. The closest I've been able to find seems to be 80%.
Thank you! I used to order from Jiffy Shirts. However, I've started ordering from a wholesale supplier called SanMar as well as a couple other wholesale suppliers.
I have done socks, but not lately. You can't find socks that are 100% cotton because they will all have elastic of some kind. However, 80% cotton is really good. They should dye up really well. Don't be shocked though if they have white flecks. It's just the elastic in the sock that won't take the dye.
Please consider going to 2nd hand stores. Many of the designs on Tshirts can be removed with acetone. Just a suggestion :)
@@kitteninmyhair Thanks. I haven't had trouble finding shirts, just socks - but Angie answered that part of my question. :-)
@@FunEndeavors Thanks for the info! I'm waiting on a pack of the 80% socks to arrive. I figured I'd give them a try, but it's nice to hear from you that they should work well. :-)
@@rebelwitch7 that's great! I hope they turn out well.
Why do you turn it inside out? Thanks for a great video!
I turn my shirts inside out to reduce some of the speckling from dye that doesn't fully dissolve.
@@FunEndeavors That makes sense, thanks!
@@michelleolson4108 You're welcome!
Can you post a link to the mold strips? I looked but can only find multi length so I'd need to buy a lot of sets just to get 4 or so long. TIA
Hi Melinda! Here is a link to the ones that I purchased: amzn.to/2EnsaU2
I bought the several sets of the one that has just the cake molds without the baking tools.
where do you get the sinew string and the wood thing it's on?
I purchase my sinew from Amazon: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
I purchased my sinew puller from Nikolay Savin who can be contacted through facebook. Here is a link to his page: facebook.com/nstiedye/
Brazilian blue agate
Yes - that's the one!
Can this be done on a sweatshirt or hoodie?
You know, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't tried a geode on something as thick as a sweatshirt or a hoodie. It probably would work though, but you would probably have to add dye to the back side.
What was that "waxed" string you use again? I heard you say "cianiada" something. Thank you
It is sinew. Here is a link to the one that I use: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
@@FunEndeavors thank you
@@sol5803 You're welcome!
Can this be done with liquid dye?
You could try it, but you won't get some of the watercolor effect and color splits from the dye that this shirt has.
does the sinew you use self seal? I notice when you wrap it around you do not need to tie the end so it stays tight
Yes, it sticks to itself because of the wax coating. It is also pulled really tight and I have to purposely unwrap it.
@@FunEndeavors thanks! I must have bought cheap stuff from Hobby Lobby, it didt stick and unraveled in areas, I later tied knots at ends...NOT fun to unravel. had to use scissors. I lost white lines wherever I did not knot. Live & Learn
@@pattypatz1 Not all sinew is created equal. I found that out too by buying some at a craft store a couple of years ago. My favorite sinew is one that I buy off of Amazon. I have a link in all my video descriptions for it if you are looking for a place to purchase sinew.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you! I was going to ask whats the best sinew, nothing like taking hours to tie up a shirt then find it unraveled dueing the dyeing :(. AND when using less quality when removing color,with Out White it ended up white wispy and so hard to remove.
@@FunEndeavors What is that spool thing called that you wind your sinew on? looks like it would save your hands
When you let it process for 24 hours is it covered in plastic or is it left as is?
This one was left as is. I process the shirts that I can't cover inside of a temperature controlled room though so that they don't dry out.
What colors did you use? (Watching with no sound while putting kids to sleep!). Thx!!!
I used:
Deep Space and Wedgewood Blue from Dharma Trading Company:
www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?lnav=dyes.html
Lapis and Ecru from Prochemical and Dye: prochemicalanddye.net/pro-mx-fiber-reactive-dye.html
Royal Blue from Custom Colours: customcoloursinc.storenvy.com/
Baby Blue from Grateful Dyes: www.grateful-dyes.com/dyes/
can i use liquid color instead?
You can, but the color will have a more solid uniform look. Ice dyeing allows the colors to split into the component colors used to make the dye color, and the colors will have varying intensities on the shirt. Liquid dyeing usually gives consistent color and consistent intensity.
Can someone tell me the contrasting outcomes of ice dying over regular dying? Seems to he dye and soda ash would not be adequately distributed..?
When you liquid dye, the dye looks more uniform and solid in color. However, when you ice dye it has more color variation. Not only do the dyes split into the colors that were used to mix the dye color, but there are varying shades of the color - like darker and lighter areas of that color instead of being uniform in color. Part of the dye variation is due to the fact that the dye isn't as even across the shirt and I think it adds some depth and of course I love all the color splits from ice dyeing.
what type of line do you use?
I use sinew. Here is a link to the artificial deer sinew that I use: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
I wish you would have shown the shirt in thebucket after the ice melted.
I didn't put this one down in a bucket. I dyed it on top of the rack.
Could I ask what you’re using to tie your shirt? :)
I am using artificial deer sinew. Here is a link to the kind that I purchase from Amazon: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
Can you use liquid dyes and have the same result?
You can use liquid dyes, but the end result won't look the same. Ice dyeing is what gives the shirt the unique color splits and color variations.
@@FunEndeavors What I really am asking is if you can use liquid dye rather than the powder and then use the ice ?
@@stephenmartin6733 You can do that too, but the dye won't split the same way it will if you use it as a powder instead of mixing it into a liquid. When you mix it as a liquid it blends the dye together into a uniform color. When it is used as a powder, the dye will split into the component dye colors that were used to make that particular color. There are a few powdered dyes that are not mixed colors and they don't split, but most colors are mixtures that will split and add a really cool look to the shirt.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you for the reply.
@@stephenmartin6733 you're welcome!
Why am I watching these videos when I'm getting on a plane in 45 minutes? I want to run down to the basement and dye geode shirts!
🤣 You can use your time on the plane to plan your next shirt! Have a fun and safe trip! 🙂
Are there any consumer product issues with selling children's clothing that have been dyed?
I'm not really sure. I don't sell a lot of children's clothing. I know a lot of tie dyers make and sell onesies and other children's items though.
Is that powdered dye? I've never seen that type of dye
Yes, it is Procion Fiber Reactive Dye. It comes in a powder form and can be mixed with water to make liquid dye.
what does the ice do
It helps to dissolve the powdered dye. When I mix the dye into a liquid, it is a solid and uniform color when it goes on the shirt. However, when I put the powdered dye on the shirt and then add ice - the dye will "split" into the various colors that were used to make that dye color. The color will also be more mottled and varied - not solid and uniform. Therefore, ice dyeing has a very unique look compared to liquid dyeing.
What string is it ??
Hi! I use artificial deer sinew. It is wax coated which won't allow the dye to go underneath the areas where I tie it. That is what gives the white lines in the design. Here is a link to the one that I purchase.
Artificial Deer Sinew: amzn.to/2EF28Lu

Why do you turn the shirt inside out?
I do that to try to avoid speckling from any undissolved dye.
My geodes all came out perfect circles like a bullseye 😅
Yikes! Tying from the bottom of the geode out to the middle is a great way to try to avoid that. As you get closer to the middle of the geode, keep roughing up the fabric and poking part of the fabric into the center. Essentially, keep the fabric kind of messy while you are tying it. This is one design where the messier the better. I've got a video which shows how to make a really cool and interesting center on a geode. It is a single geode shirt, but the same technique works on multiple geodes. Here's a link to that video if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/Z5_wpcAosfI/w-d-xo.html
