Trying 10 Weird Tie Dyes (4 look disgusting)

TOOLS & MATERIALS (affiliate* & sponsor links)

Actual tutorial/steps for doing this yourself
1) Get shirts wet
2) Wring shirts out
3) Take your time to really neatly spiral/pleat your shirts
4) Bleach
- You can use about 50% bleach, 50% water
- Don’t let sit for too long or it will damage the shirt (maybe 5-15 minutes)
- Don’t forget both sides of your shirt if you want to dye both
5) Make a gallon of hydrogen peroxide water (1 cup hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water)
- It will neutralize the bleach
- Don’t untie your shirt if you plan to dye it after bleaching
- Let it sit for 20 minutes, then wring out as much water as you can

I think if you let Katelyn's sweatshirt and pants soak in some super diluted purple dye, they'd probably take on a cooler pink tone and get the cotton candy vibe you're going for! The pattern is super cute it's just a tiiiinny bit too warm. Awesome stream as always :)

Katelyn panicing about making the chaotic shirt too chaotic with the hearts is so relatable 😂😅

[karendunham]

If you really hate the bleached items afterwards you can always tie dye with color dyes over it and make it cool again.

I love how the community genuinely cares about you guys. Like “wipe down the chair. Evan got his bleach hands on them” that was so nice of chat

[XShadowCatX]

Please do another live stream of dying your least favorites. I think some of them could really come out winners. I think too that if Katelyn wanted, she could dye her whole meat outfit some sort of violet or blue, and the light vs. dark parts would still come out differently! I'd love to see how some Rit dye would change things!

Th joy when I se that you two uploaded an uncut craft project just as I was to sit down with my sculpting. Almost three continuous hours of the best noncommittal crafting "company"

[thequeenslander]

Yes to another live stream fixing your failed tie dyes! 😁

[kellimshaver]

If you really want to mask off areas of the shirt, there's a special type of wax you can get that you melt and paint onto the shirt and it soaks into the fabric so the bleach/dye can't bleed into that area. Then the wax comes out in the washing machine. I forget what type it is, but I've used it before.

I think another possible technique that could look really cool is using stamps, like the sponge ones. And Katelyn’s dot pattern could maybe be done with those big sponge daub things

Evan's the 2nd flame shirt is ♨️ Katelyn's track suit pattern is cute, it's the color that is giving it a meaty vibe

[hunterc]

Absolutely down for a tie die correction stream! Love the uncuts :)

[jenniferbowles]

Even and Katelyn, next time try using a bleach pen so you can actually draw out designs and Clorox gel toilet cleaner works great too if you want details and control. Another YouTuber @superraedizzle did this and got a pretty amazing result. I’d love to see y’all do another livestream and try again!

[monicabarnett]

You guys would have fun with batik wax resist! Also recommend checking out making your own indigo and shibori dyeing! I had a lot of fun in college for Textile & Apparel Design, print & dye classes were always the most fun!

[daniellebuchanan]

I definitely think you can add dye over top of the "fails" and make some neat creations! I'd love to see the cropped hoodie with the same dot technique in a purple over top of the bleach!

[agneshedquist]

I would totally watch a livestream where they save their failed tie dyes!!!

[Trixalla]

I think Katelyn’s Ham Jogging ( Hogging?) Suit could be salvaged with a more blue based pink tie dye on top! Still, the journey to become Joob’s favourite snack is commendable

[mikalnaregard]

I really like how the cropped gray sweatshirt turned out. It is subtle and looks organic (in a good way).

[lindsaylindsay]

Evan is so good at just letting go and going with the flow of their creations.

I loved the underwater basket weaving. The investment Evan made in the diving equipment will pay off if 10-20 years lol

I actually think the flames shirt is really good. The bottom kind of looks like a forest and the top part looks like the tops of the trees. They’re not flames but they make a good forest :)
