How to Create Stunning Fabrics Using the Ice Dye Method

This tutorial will show you a fun spin on tie-dyeing called "ice dye".
You will need:
- Fabric (cotton works best)
- Soda ash (www.dickblick.com/products/ja...) OR MAKE YOUR OWN out of baking soda! (www.thoughtco.com/make-sodium...)
- Powdered dye (I used Jacquard Procion MX Cold Water Dye: www.dickblick.com/products/ja...)
- Drying/cooling rack to keep fabric from sitting in dye
- Tub to catch dye
- Gloves
- Lots of ice!

    I make 10 shirts in a bucket at one time. About 7 lbs ice. Dye on top. Wash out when melted. Incredible dyes!!!

    It's actually better to put the dye down 1st so it's actually dying the whole time the ice is melting. Just how I was taught 💜

    I love the look this ice dye technique creates. I am going to be creating a shirt with my 9 y/o and I am so thankful I watched your video and learned about Soda Ash. What a difference! I will send a picture of her finalized product.

    Hi, can you explain the second version of the ice dying you made? You mention you did it with soda ash and let the fabric hang over the bucket but it's hard to visualize what you mean by all of that? This is my absolute favorite look and I would really love to know how to achieve it. Thanks!

    I used a mixture of soda ash and water to soak the fabric before applying the dye - this allows the dyes to penetrate the fabric better, resulting in more vivid colors. When I arranged the fabric on the platform, some of it hung off the side because it didn't fit on the platform, and the dyes just ran down those pieces and dripped, creating an interesting pattern.

    You can purchase soda ash on amazon, if you can’t find it locally. First thing you’re going to do is wash your blank shirt. Don’t use any fabric softener. Once it’s done washing, you place in a soda ash/water fixture. I use a cup per gallon of water. Make sure you stir the soda ash in the water, so it’s nice and dissolved. Place your shirt in for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes ring it out and you’re ready to dye it. You can also after ringing it toss it in the washer on spin only (that’s if your machine doesn’t throw out water). Hope this helps!!

    Even though you put the item in the dryer to finish it, how is it that the dye does not run with other clothes in the event that you wash your clothes?

    Hi! So I just did this same technique at home on a 2 layered nylon dress, the outside layer is like a lacy nylon the inside being like a t-shirt material nylon... I let it sit for 15 hours, rinsed and only the under layer took to the dye any idea what I did wrong or how to get the outter layer to take? Thank you and your work is beautiful!

    I would check to see what fabrics your dye works with... nylon may not be one of them! Otherwise, in the past, I have flipped my thicker fabrics over after the first round of ice melts and repeated the process on the other side. That may help too!

    Does soaking the fabric in the soda ash for longer than 20 minutes help create more color? And, can you put the dyed material in a plastic bag not left on grate to take it home if you are working at a friends? Thanks.

    I'd leave it on the grate so you don't loose the crumble look. As far as the soda ash I use to think the longer you soak it the brighter the colors use to be. I was wrong, it won't make a difference

    I see MANY comments on the colors that were used yet, I STILL have not seen one comment in which you replied with the names of the colors in this video! Honestly, like ALL of the other tie & ice dye KZreadrs (pro's & hobbyists), you should have shown us the bottles with the names before each application on the shirt or at least told us the names!

    Although it's not completely necessary, soda ash helps the dye "stick" to the fabric, which will give you brighter, stronger colors.

    You can not dye polyester. Polyester is dyed with pressure and it will at most become pastelcolored and the dye will wash out.
