How to dye denim: Full DIY tutorial | ALLI CRAFTS

How to easily dye denim. If you want a 90s acid wash look, just complete your project by spraying the denim with bleach. This dying technique can also be used to reinvigorate black faded denim using black dye. If you want to buy the exact dye I used, here's a link: amzn.to/2yIcR4F.

    I used dishwasher soap with bleach my denim jacket because I didn’t have bleach on hand, and it worked excellently. Just put a full bottle of dishwasher liquid in a container, with approx a tea pitcher of hot water and let sit in the sun for about three hours, moving around with gloved hand ever 1/2 hour to one hour. Rinse very very well in hot water and then cold and machine wash. Perfect.

Turn it upside down.Also buy a pretty plate.Use glass glue to attach the plate to the bottom of the goblet. Voila! I hope I explained it well but I think you get the idea. I have been watching Ralli Roots for several years. I am not a reseller. You and Ryan are a great looking couple!

    I know! I ran out of space on the memory card and the bleach took hours to lighten. If we dyed something for reselling it, I suppose it would only be fair to disclose that. Although if we just re-dyed black denim black again, I don't know if we would but probably would put it in the description? What would you do? Maybe putting custom dyed somewhere so it sounded fancy :P

Editing takes me a long time so for the sake of a quality video while I get accustomed to the new tech, I'm making a bit simpler videos before the cool complicated ones. But hopefully I'll get around to making a address planter in the next few months.

    I honestly dont think thats very possible because dye is liquid and will soak through all of the fabric even if its not submerged but if a gel exists then potentially it's a possibility. But I'm no dye expert so maybe someone out there has discovered a way
