Tie Dye: Camo [Liquid Dye & LWI ]

I realized I've never done a camo tie dye video. So, it's a bit late; but, I made up for it with four sample shirts.

I use Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes from:

I started bow hunting, in high school during the 1970’s. Commercial camo was almost nonexistent and definitely out of my budget. I tie dyed an old pair of sage green Air Force mechanics coveralls. Simple, cheap and effective. Worked great, harvested numerous deer.

I'm sure it would work. Resembles vaguely German flecktarn. I'm interested in making a camo jacket for my outdoor trips, and this technique seems suitable for that.

This is TOTALLY a camo tie dye - you nailed it (yet again!!) Love how the scrunch technique really does render different intricate patterns!!

[braydenbenzien]

This looks really cool and I think it would work pretty well too

[MadComputerScientist]

Looks like actual camo to me! Nice, thanks for sharing your experience.

[neanderthalnonsense]

That's FANTASTIC!! I'd wear it hunting if it were long sleeve. Great stuff. You have my brain working now!!!

I am going to try something like this for some desert camo. I will be starting with tan- or khaki-colored pants instead of white though.

Thanks for the video I would just use a tan or beige t- shirt to dye. The camo looks great.

That's pretty nice. I'm planning to make a camo cloth for hiking and this gave me some good ideas.

[craigstevens]

I love the colors, Id love to see them spiraled.

With any camouflage pattern you are creating, start first with your lightest color…

Pretty fun project.

I’ve been trying to find something to do with the nice weather. Perhaps I’ll try to make a pattern and sell it to the military hahahaha

Hey, it could happen.😂

Good idea for oil cloth before treatment. Just not as many colors n bigger spolotches

[luvnotvideos]

If you pre-dye with a light yellow or tan (depending on environment), would it enhance the earth tones and eliminate the white? I like the muted patchiness for camo - the whole idea is to break up your shape with asymmetrical blocks of color, and what you have there does that very well. But those whites just detract from the overall effect.

To separate the black dye, look into paper chromatography. I saw it used to separate the colors of a black marking pen. I don't remember what solvent was used, but it was probably not a water soluble ink so it wouldn't have been water as the solvent. For water soluble dyes I guess water would do. The best separation came from using the smallest spot of ink.

These absolutely work! Love the method, too!

Looks similar to Raptor Kam. Either way, if you can hide in the woods, it's camouflage.

[tacticaloutdoors]

Nice! Thanks for the tutorial, I'm looking to make some unique camo for hunting and think this will work great!

[theguywitheyebrows]

great camo pattern!! ima try it with the soda ash first and see how that goes!! also, since im making a tarp from an egyptian cotton sheet, i plan to let the dye dry in the fabric without a wash-out and silicone after....im thinking that will lock the color right in....and if not, lesson learned..

It’s great for a specific niche.

Thank you for explaining! I wanted to make a camouflaged jacket and this really helps out! 😃
