Tie Dye Basics: How To Mix Thickened Water or Thickened Chemical Water
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- In this tutorial I show and explain how to mix thickened water or chemical water to use in tie dye projects. You can use the thickened water to mix dye for tie dye, as a filler to keep white areas white on a tie dye shirt, or to mix dye to paint with on a shirt.

Very very helpful. Thank you for the video
You are welcome, I'm glad it helped! 😀
You explain things very well, making it easier for those without experience to follow. Thank you.
Thank you - I'm glad it was helpful!
Make a paste with the sodium alginate using a small cup and a fork and slowly add a little warm water while stirring with a fork. Pretend it's a roux, and you're dissolving flour or cornstarch into a liquid. Once you get it dissolved, add a little more water to until you can pour it into the rest.
You are so thorough!
Love your videos Angie!
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you like them!
Thanks for the info, Angie, great presentation.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Good morning Angie great information I just got a bag of the sodium alginate I can’t wait to try it😁✌️
That's awesome - I hope you have fun experimenting!
Thank you for this video! I just got some thickener, and came here to learn how to use it. I want to make a rainbow and keep the white parts crisp white. I love when the colors blend, but I want to try something new. I see you linked your pumpkin video, I’ll watch that next! 🌈Laura
That's great - I'm glad I could help!
Do you have example videos using the thickened water?
I have one video for a pumpkin shirt that I made, and here is the link: th-cam.com/video/_8eP8u1UTpI/w-d-xo.html
I will have some more videos coming soon though.
Thanks, I appreciate what you’re doing a lot.
@@marleyxl8959 You're welcome - I'm glad you like the videos! I am uploading a video now for tomorrow where I show how to make thickened dye and then paint with it.
Lot of good info here. I use Xantham gum but I haven't used urea.
Thank you! 🙂
I think I have to get my hands on some fabric dyes now. I found your channel two days ago and I have been binging all the videos. You have given me so many ideas! I'm a dressmaker / seamstress and I would love to dye fabrics for use on my designs. Do you ever dye just plain raw fabric? Can't wait to see the next video!
That's great - I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos. I have dyed plain white cotton fabric before. I don't sew, but I have a couple of family members that do. They've used the fabric for various projects. Tie dyeing your fabric would definitely make your items unique and one of a kind items.
Very helpful! Do you have any dye painting vids (mixing and using)? I tried a quick search, but nothing popped up.
Thank you! I have a video that I am working on, but I haven't finished editing it yet. I do have a video where I painted a pumpkin on a shirt, but I don't show how I mixed the dye. I dyed the shirt first and then painted the pumpkin on the front. The painting part is toward the end of the video. Here is a link to that one: th-cam.com/video/_8eP8u1UTpI/w-d-xo.html
I will hopefully have the one that I am working on uploaded before too long.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you and looking forward to the video. :)
Candi’s solution be used for fabric marbling?
Not that I am aware of. It is used for painting with fiber reactive dye.
Hi, can i use hot water to mix SA and Urea together for painting on silk fabric? Please guide
I haven't used Procion fiber reactive dyes on silk before. Dharma Trading Company has some information on how to properly use the dyes for silk. Here is a link: www.dharmatrading.com/info/fiber-reactive-dye-dyeing-wool-silk.html
Can you make ice from the thickened water for ice dyeing? Could it slow the melt down for better splits?
I guess you could, but I'm not sure if it would make a huge difference.
I want to paint flowers on silk fabric 4 dye colors, so far all the colors i made using fabric dye bleeds on fabric. Is it advisable to mix dye color with Urea and SA ?

What would cause a film left after I paint with dye
Does it remain after you've washed and dried your item? If so, I'm not sure what that could be. If the film is there before, I would imagine that it was due to the soda ash.
Can you tell me which dyes are used in it and how to make our colors?
I add fiber reactive dye powder to the thickened water or thickened chemical water. Here is a link to a video showing how I mixed the fiber reactive dye like normal (not thickened). th-cam.com/video/EYYSm3XZ_N8/w-d-xo.html
When adding the sodium alginate would it help to make a paste with a small amount of the water to help it dissolve easier and not coat the emersion bender?
I haven't had much success making a thick paste and trying to thin it out. It gets too clumpy when I've tried to do that.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you for the input, I will do what you did in your video, you saved me from that mistake.
@@shaymarie7045 Yes, sodium alginate is really difficult to get clump free. If it gets too lumpy, it's very hard to get smooth.
What if I don’t have access to Urea? I am in a humid climate (Costa Rica), will it make a big difference to leave it out of the chemical water?
Urea helps keep the fabric from drying out. As long as you can keep your shirts from drying out while they process, you should be fine. Once the shirt dries, the dye quits reacting with the fabric. I put my freshly dyed shirts inside of a plastic container that has a rack in the bottom and then I place the lid on top of the container. The container helps hold in the moisture and my shirts don't dry out. Some tie dyers place their shirts inside of plastic bags, but that can sometimes muddy the colors because they blend together in the bag.
@@FunEndeavors thanks I’ll give it a try and let you know what happens! I live your Channel; it’s the best! Thanks for doing it!
@@bbmombo Thank you so much! I hope that works for you. 🙂
How long can we preserve this chemical water ?
I think it lasts for quite awhile. I keep mine in my heated and cooled dye space, and it lasts at least a couple weeks or more. I kept some thicked chemical water in my dye refrigerator in a sealed container for about 6 months and it still worked great when I used it. It didn't have dye or soda ash added to it though.
How long can you keep your thickened water if you don't use it all up? If you keep it, is it best to refrigerate it?
I'm not entirely sure. I mixed up some a couple of months ago and I've kept it in the refrigerator the whole time. I used it about a week ago on the shirts I posted today, and it worked great.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you for replying.
@@gelelied you're welcome!
Hi Angie 👋Hope you're having a nice weekend! What are you creating? I'm making a cpl long sleeves, one white and one light blue, excited..they should be pretty cool. I see you and others use thickened dye and am curious and interested, so I bought those things to make some. I'm in Florida, not sure if you'd use urea or not? I'll keep watching, learning, experimenting, hehe. Hopefully I utilize this mix and make something awesome!! Thx again, take care ✌🎨
Hi! Right now I'm working on a couple of dresses and a couple of shirts. I'm trying to take advantage of the hot summer weather.
I don't use thickened dye a lot, but I always add Urea to mine. If you are in Florida, I would add it too. It will help keep the item from drying out too fast. Once the dye dries on a shirt or item, it will quit reacting. Recently I used some leftover thickened chemical water to mix a thick black to paint over the top of a couple of shirts that I wasn't happy with. The thickened dye was thick enough that it didn't really soak into the shirt, but instead it just sat on top on the pleats.
I hope your long sleeve shirts turn out great! Enjoy your weekend!
@@FunEndeavors Ok, I will. Thx Angie. I think I'm going to ice dye (my second, so exciting) one of them and just liquid dye the other. I ordered a really sweet XL Tall that I feel will have a lot of real estate to work with, about to get jiggy,lol 🤘💥🌈
@@nightrockercreates6871 I'm sure they are going to turn out looking awesome! Have fun!
I used a hand mixer like you used. I made it to thick, gave up on it, went back weeks later and it locked up my mixer
Yes, it continues to thicken over time.
