Thank you, Becky, I’m glad you like it. 🕷❤️🌈

Waiting 24 hours is rough! I just make so many things that my mind gets sidetracked. I cleaned the oven. Yay! ❤️🌈

How do you use the oven?

@@dianneeagle4686 I place my fabric in a deep foil baking dish. Next, I cover the fabric in ice. You can sprinkle the dye powder before you apply the ice or after, depending on the results you are looking to achieve. Then, I bake until the ice is completely melted. Sometimes, if I sprinkled the dye first, I'll find that the dye has not completely saturated into the fabric, so I will add more ice and put it back in the oven. *The dish has to be deep because of the amount of muck water created. You may even have to drain a bit sometimes.* But, generally speaking, I place my ice-covered fabric in a 150°F oven and let bake for about 30 minutes. Then, I check on it to see if it needs more ice, draining, or if it's done. If done, I turn off the oven and just let the garment sit in the muck water in the dish for as long as I feel like, or at least until it's cooled. Finally, I rinse as normal. In total, the fabric probably spends about 2 hours in the oven, including cooling time.

Yeah, it’s nice to not have to wait. I’m glad to be back. ❤️🌈

Thanks, Greg. I haven’t sold anything yet… so I think that’s awesome for you!!! ❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I really love your channel. Where can I purchase the dye you used if I'm in Canada?

Find someone who has a serger and get the sleeves resewn.

Goyo Greg, do you have a video of your spiders and the HWI?

@@iknowheis I don’t have one in the spider design on video just a regular spiral and it is called orange and black HWI I think it’s in the garden playlist folded as you would do a regular spider design one side orange flip over black on the other and then flip it back right away so the black doesn’t go all the way through if that makes any sense

Thank you! 😊❤️🌈

That’s true. Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️🌈

You had cool colors! Mine were grey and maroon. ❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo My mom had maroon and white. My cousins had the best colors in college, purple & gold.

We are tie dying orange and black shirts for homecoming! I'm researching methods after agreeing to do it 🤣

Glad you like it, Robert! ❤️🌈

Thank you, Katie!! 🕷❤️🌈

Awesome! You’re going to have so much fun!! ❤️🌈

Thank you, Diana! ❤️🌈

Thank you, Noe, I’m glad you like it. The white is fine… it’s tie dye. 😃🎃❤️🌈

You’re welcome!! Make them some. 😁❤️🌈

Thanks for visiting!! 🕷❤️🌈

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to dig out some black shirts and do that. Maybe next week. Thanks again for the shout out. Make a tutorial so I can copy it… 😉❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo Surething NO PROBLEM ✌💯 YOUR CHANNEL AWESOME for the people that what to LEARN TIE DYE 💯 MINE more for THE LOOKERS👀 HIGH FIVE TO YOUR CHANNEL FOR ALL THE AMAZING VIDEOS THANK YOU 👋💯

Halloween is a fun one for sure. I like the candy! I’ll probably make a purple one and a green on before the month is over. 🎃❤️🌈

Thank you! Get yourself the “two minute” tulip kit and see how you like it. Have fun tie dyeing. 😁❤️🌈

That’s the plan. Those are the Halloween colors. 😁❤️🌈

Thank you, Ann! 🕷❤️🌈

Thanks, June! I’m glad you like it!! 🕷❤️🌈

It takes a little practice. I think you’re referring to the “centering” in the beginning. If you watch me do it several times in other tutorials it gets easier. ❤️🌈

Me too. It kind of looks like it was folded inside out and into Itself and maybe the folded edge looked doubled somehow. There wasn’t really any explanation during that portion for a newbie like me. 😊 I’m unsure about trying until I know. I do LOVE the design though and I appreciate the natural way she speaks. Her video was great to watch. I’ll probably watch another few. ❤

Thank you! 🕷❤️🌈

They will love it! The kiddos really like the spiders. 🕷❤️🌈

Thank you so much. Glad you like them! 🕷❤️🌈

Thanks! It works when you’re in a rush. ❤️🌈

Awesome!! Go for it!! You can make them in any colors… ❤️🌈

Thank you! That’s awesome to hear. I’m glad you’re learning something and having fun. ❤️🌈

Thanks! Yeah, the microwave works well. 🕷❤️🌈

Thank you, Nina!! 🕷❤️🌈

Thank you, Samara, I appreciate your honesty. I completely understand. As women/girls our bodies go through a lot. I’m happy to hear you find my art somewhat soothing. What is it? The colors? My jokes? The music? The rainbows? All of it? The rainbows are what make me feel better. 😉❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo It's a still frame from start-to-finish with your artwork and it's not overly-sped up. I feel like that's rare nowadays. And the nostalgia of tie-dye shirts just adds to that warm feeling. Also yes your jokes help too ahahaha 😂

@@samarah.2945 We live in a fast paced culture these days. My tutorials are 10 minutes to just chill. 😉❤️🌈

They take a lot of patience and skill. Which I have neither of for the “honeycomb” I don’t think it’s a secret at all though… they’re time consuming so nobody wants to make them. 🥸 All the masters show it on their social media. I might try to make one eventually. It’s basically a tiny pleat fold versus the airplane fold and then tied up like a mandala. Sinew lines flat across the top of the pleats and the X’s down the sides. Then dye it in a DNA pattern. If you have Facebook, Instagram & TikTok look up Justin Biffer and Steven J, they share a lot. Jake Roelofs is infamous for it, but I don’t think he will teach anything. Dyeinglightcreations I’ve seen on TikTok and Instagram opening them. All of the guys I mentioned are very talented. If you look at their ties you might be able to see what I mean about the sinew. Best of luck!! ❤️🌈

I usually get little fuzzy faces. This one turned out more like a cool design rather than a spider… but, this is the process none the less. Those squiggly eyeballs 👀 would be great for children. 🧐 I wonder if they make some that are washable. That’s actually a great idea!! Thanks, Christi. 🕷❤️🌈

I'm glad you like it! ❤️🌈

They are fun to make. Mine usually look more like spiders than this one. I think the splatter guard made it too perfect to have that extra bit of character. Maybe next time. I’m back to normal. Thanks for thinking of me, Crystal!! ❤️🌈

Haha! I forgot what I used. I’ll have to watch it again. I tried to pick something with a good tempo and somewhat aggressive that had a sense of “spider” to it. 🕷❤️🌈

Thank you, Cathy, I’ll give that a try. I have to figure something out because it’s driving me nuts!! ❤️🌈

It really is! I wonder if my nephew can wear a medium? 🤷‍♀️🕷❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo a medium adult? Maybe. It most likely would be too big though.

Thank you, Mary! 🕷❤️🌈

Me too! Thank you! 🕷❤️🌈

Thank you!! 🕷❤️🌈

Yay! Thank you! ❤️🌈

Thank you. If you work hard you can get some bats done. Dyeing on a towel helps with over saturation. I suppose the colander is an added bonus. 🤷‍♀️ Something for you to consider is using fine needle tipped bottles. That slows things down quite a bit. 😁❤️🌈

Some people use shrink tubing. It takes practice I suppose. ❤️🌈

Yeah, I’m totally bummed about the the holes in the seam. 👎👎❤️🌈

Urea, yes when I mixed my dye. Thicken no. I have mixing tutorials. Had I thickened my dye I would have specified. I don’t hide any of my methods. ❤️🌈

Yeah buddy!!! 🕷❤️🌈

I dye damp. I use the Panda spin dryer so it’s barely damp. I don’t like to liquid dye dry. The dye repels off. ❤️🌈

No. just make sure the fabric is completely covered. ❤️🌈 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n71ios980ZPKYmQ.html

I’m glad you like it, Harvey. I’m working on getting things in my Etsy shop. It’s slow going but I’m trying. ❤️🌈

I’ll try to make you a spider out of ice today. Black is a tricky one with ice because it splits into so many other colors. Let’s see what happens 🕷 Liquid is a pain in the neck to mix but it yields some cool effects. Just take your time and grip everything diligently. (I prefer ice dyeing) I’m feeling like myself again. I’m back to work and back making tie dye. Thanks for thinking of me!! ☺️❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo glad that you are feeling better! An ice dyed spider would be awesome! I love the splits on blacks and how each one is so different. But it is very limiting when you need a true black. I will watch for the spider! Thanks!

The same thing… I’ll make another one and show you. 🕷❤️🌈

Absolutely. I have many spider tutorials for you to check out. I also started a Halloween playlist. ❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I made a blue gray background with a brown spider I liked it. Brown recluse spiders are big in my area and scary. I hand painted hairy legs and the red brown fiddle shape that is on its back. It sold so someone else loves also

Regular… I specify what I’m doing if it’s out of the norm. 😁❤️🌈

Thank you I figured you would say if you used thick dye but wasn't sure. I have learned a lot from your tutorials! Your voice is really comforting and builds confidence in in the process. Some of the other Utubers tutorials are abrasive with wild music and leave a lot to the imagination as what they are using.

I sure do. Any color or colors will work Sheri. ❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I asked my brother if his son would like a tie dye shirt and he said make him one that’s orange and black… for the SF Giants!

Procion Fiber Reactive Dye must be 'fixed' (made permanent) with soda ash on cotton and other cellulose fibers. It's a mild alkali that enables the reaction between the dye and the cellulose fibers at lower temperatures, causing them to "become one", and the reason Fiber Reactive Dye is so permanent. How much you use is normally a function of the amount of water, not the amount of fabric or dye. Roughly 1 oz. per gallon of water is needed when garment dyeing or 1 cup per gallon of water as a pre-soak when tie-dyeing. If you don't use enough, the dye won't yield full strength. A pH of 10.5 is ideal. ❤️🌈

NOOOOO! It’s sodium carbonate. It’s raises the pH of the natural fibers so the procion fiber reactive dye can bond and become permanent. Here is a link so you can read up on it. ❤️🌈 www.dharmatrading.com/chemicals/soda-ash-fixer.html

I haven’t looked. I bought mine for $6.99. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saw an uptick in sales and are price gouging. That’s a big bummer!!! 👎❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo $16.21 and rising! I paid $9. Still worth every penny for the perfect spirals they make. This is the ONLY one that has the finger hole on top and not a slit; I've searched the planet and every dollar store.

It will but it will be less symmetrical saturation wise. Give it a try. 😁❤️🌈

@@BelladonnaDyesCo Thank you

Why, actually I just got a really cool antique one from my family member, the one I’ve kept referring to every time I needed one… I named her Simone. As soon as I make a dress or something “Simone” will make her appearance. I think I need some black velvet for a backdrop, or a white sheet. I want to try to dye a cool wedding dress…. ❤️🌈

Regular ❤️🌈

Yeah, the sleeve situation is super annoying! Thanks for tuning in. ❤️🌈
