Comparison between fast and slow ice melting speed Melt Speed Comparison between fast and slow ice melting speed Fleece These 2 shirts are dyed with a layer of polyester fleece backing, to bulk the thin shirt fabric. Lay it flat first. Contemplate Which side of the shirt should face up? I can never remember what looks the best. Probably face down is best. haha. Fold Make tall scrunches and squish them together. Taller will make longer flowing lines. Bin Stuff the shirt into a bin and make sure it's snug enough to keep the peaks upright. Good drainage is a must. Set up Both of these shirts were set up on an incline, with mega blocks holding up one end of the metal bin. Dye Sprinkle powdered procion dye over the ice. I no longer suggest adding more soda ash on with the dye. Compare A second shirt is folded and set up in the same way. One shirt is left to melt at room temp. The other is set up with a space heater speeding up the melting. Fast melt This is the result of the faster melt speed. I think it caused the dye to move through the shirt faster than it could react to the fabric. Slow melt This shirt has a more even result in color saturation, with a longer melt time. Neither is wrong, but I do prefer the slower melt. See All Tutorials

Jacquard Dye Fiber reactive dye meant for cotton, rayon, hemp, and other natural fiber fabrics. I like using the Jacquard "Jet Black" color when ice dyeing. see on Amazon More supplies for ice dye: Poly Fleece Soda Ash Shirt blanks Mega Bloks Elastics Wire Rack Dharma Dye Shaker Mask Detail Bottles Magic Tracks Baskets Gloves Sinew

Rinse & reveal Since the water was warm, I didn't wait the whole 24 hours for the color to batch. I guessed that it would be ok after 12 hours since the heat sped up the reaction of the dye bonding. Reds/oranges react faster than other colors, too. This shirt is very bright and makes me happy to look at. All steps: Base color Decide on your first color, which needs to be light and bright. I decided to use 1 Tsp soft orange powdered dye. Mix in about a cup or two of warm water until the dye dissolves. Pour Dump in the second color at one end. It will naturally flow toward the other end, in a way that looks nice. 8oz of water seems to be a good amount of liquid to use for the second color. Too much water might dilute the color or overtake the whole design. Scrunch Place the shirt into the bin of dye and swish it around until it’s fully saturated in color. Then scrunch it loosely. This will make it so that there’s no white left on the shirt. Squish it Use a gloved hand to squish, wiggle and generally mess with the shirt. It's fun. It mixes the color a little so the gradient is smooth. There will still be subtle details even if you mess with it. Lazy mixing It's annoying to mix liquid dye and then funnel it into squirt bottles, which is why I usually just ice dye. But for this, you can just mix a second color in a wide mouth jar and stir it. No need for a squirt bottle transfer. 1/2tsp of fuchsia for the dark bottom color. Rinse & reveal Since the water was warm, I didn't wait the whole 24 hours for the color to batch.

Mega Bloks These are great for draping shirts over. When you ice dye, you get interesting results when you create dramatic peaks and valleys. These are a good alternative to using balls of foil (used to be popular). Just don't let kids play with them if they will put in their mouth. need, please More supplies for ice dye: Poly Fleece Soda Ash Shirt blanks Magic Tracks Baskets Gloves Dharma Dye Shaker Mask Detail Bottles Elastics Wire Rack Jacquard Dye Sinew
