I love tie-dying onesies for baby shower gifts. Yours turned out great! Thanks for sharing. I find spirals are really hard on the thick layers of onesies. But yours worked out nicely. Also a tip: They sell onesies at The Dollar Tree. For the boy onesies I got light blue for a couple of them. I believe I saw pink as well for girls. (I like to dye on light colors, so one color is already on it.)
Oh my goodness, so cute! I actually did 8 onsies about two weeks ago. They were gifts for my boss and his wife. They are expecting their first baby in November. They were in love with them. Which made me so happy! Thank you for the links to the cake molds and collars. That’s going to help so much!!
They all turned out awesome, love the variety! I love your videos so much! Thanks for the great content! I have a white denim jacket I really want to dye, but I don't want to ruin it. I would love to see how you would dye one. Also, I was wondering why do you prefer to dye when they are completely dry rather than damp? Does it make a big difference? Do you sell your tie dye items anywhere online?
Thank you! I haven't dyed any denim myself. I think the ones I've seen look really cool though. I usually dye them dry to get better color saturation. Since the fabric fibers will only hold so much liquid, I wait until the soda ash solution in the fibers is dry and then the fibers will be able to accept the dye better. On a fold like these it doesn't really matter. I really notice the difference with thick folds like mandalas. If a mandala is too damp when the dye is applied, you will sometimes get big white streaks in the middle. Also, since I purchased my Panda Spin Dryer most of my shirts dry out in a matter of hours after I tie them. Sometimes though the dye will bead up on a shirt that is dry instead of soaking in immediately. It doesn't happen often for me, but when it does I just take a bit of the soda ash solution and put it in a squirt bottle and lightly mist the shirt before continuing with the dye. I have a website where I sell my shirts. www.funendeavors.com
@@FunEndeavors Thank you so much for your reply and the info! Makes sense, I will definitely try it your way to see if I get better results than dying damp.
It's just a different look. Most dye powder is a mixture of several colors of dry dye. When it is mixed with water to make a liquid, the dye becomes uniform, and it will be a solid color on your item. When it is used as a powder, it will "split" into the colors that were mixed to make the dye when it comes in contact with the ice. Therefore, the dye will be more varied in color and usually in intensity. Not all colors of dye are mixtures, but most are. Some dye colors are mixed using a lot of colors and the effects are really cool when they split. Since ice dyeing has become so popular, several of the dye suppliers are now mixing colors especially for cool splits with ice dyeing.
Hi there, I'm just starting out tie dying and I'm doing the ice dye method. I made a boat out of foil like you showed but was wondering if I should take it out of the boat once the ice melts? I'm worried it's just going to absorbing that pool of mixed die all night. I see sometimes you ice over a rack so the water drains thru. Not sure what the difference is? Thank you
I use both methods of ice dyeing. The first is rack dyeing where I put the shirt on a rack, and I let the dye and ice run through the shirt and collect in a tub. The second method is "muck" dyeing. That is where I put the shirt inside a container of some sort, and allow it to sit in the runoff from the ice and dye (the runoff is called "muck"). They are both yield great results - it just depends on what look you are going for. If you are going to "muck" dye it is important not to disturb the container that your shirt is in. If you disturb the "muck" it can cause a muddling of the colors. I made a video comparing the methods. Here is the link to that video if you'd like to watch it: th-cam.com/video/9rArcXt57ls/w-d-xo.html
If I wanted to do this, but without the ice-dying (e.g. just using liquid colour), would it be possible? Would I need to mark it more with bands or anything?
I do ice dyes indoors and outdoors. If they are outdoors, I try to keep them out of the direct sun either by putting them under a tree or placing a lid on top of them.

Thank you! 😊 That's great to know, I'll try to remember that the next time I am looking for onesies. Dyeing already colored ones is a great idea too!
Very colorful. They look great!
Thank you! 😊

That's great - I'm sure they loved them! These are all gifts too! The cake molds are great - definitely a time saver when making ice barriers.
Thank you so much!
Very cool! What a nice shower gift for a new baby. Thank you, Angie.
Thank you! That's what these are going to be used for.
beautiful colors Angie! very nice.
Thank you so much!
These are all so pretty! Thank you for sharing your skills. 😚
Thank you - I'm glad you like them! 😀
THANK YOU SO Much!❤

Good job😊
Thank you so much 😀
i LOVE WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS. i WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO ON DYING LEGGINGS. AS IM LOOKING FOR SOME IDEAS FOR MY DAUGHTER X
Thank you! I haven't dyed any leggings yet. I need to find a good outlet for some and give them a try though.
I’m wondering…. What is the difference or what are the advantages of using the Fork Spiral vs the Finger Twist Spiral?
There aren't really any advantages. It is just an alternate way to start a spiral.
OUTSTANDING!
Thank you!
its literally been decades since ive listened to electronic
I honestly think finding music for the videos is the hardest part.
Love these! 💘
Thank you!! 😊

What was the folding technique on the last one?
It is a diagonal fold/fan fold. Here it is on an adult size shirt:

@@JonsonDemo You are welcome!

No, you can tie them the same, and then apply the dye.
@@FunEndeavors Thank you so much! I can't wait to try them!
@@sengarde6541 You are welcome - have fun!
Do you do these indoors or outdoors? So the sun won't melt the ice too quick.
I do ice dyes indoors and outdoors. If they are outdoors, I try to keep them out of the direct sun either by putting them under a tree or placing a lid on top of them.
@@FunEndeavors gggggot it. Thank you so much for responding back. Sounds great. Your designs were amazing. Loved them btw.
@@moeprice4260 thank you! 🙂
Hi what is the dye powder that u have used
I use Procion fiber reactive dyes.
Choosing onesies…100% cotton? You have a favorite source?
I usually use Gerber onesies. They are 100% cotton and are fairly easy to find.
Holy complicated
The scrunch design is a great uncomplicated one to use on baby onesies.
