This is outta sight man!! It’s nice to find some different ideas out there, it just makes the art of tie dying that much groovier. This Triple Dipped Donut and Rosette Tie-Dye is really easy to do. Make sure you have close to 100% cotton t-shirt, or what ever else you might think of tie dying. The dye really takes to good cotton. The colors are richer and more vibrant. Just use your imagination, and let yourself go! I find just wearing one of these tie-dyes is pretty cool. If I could recommend using Dharma dyes. They really work for me, and I have used others in the past and was not as happy with the colors.

Hey, i just found your site last night and it is totally radical from what ive seen so far. I just started tie-dyeing and was wondering if you could give me any tips? you seem to know what you are doing way better than i do
Hey TeddyLupin!!! Thanks for your comment on Hippie Power! As far as any tips go, I would suggest that you use 100% cotton when tie dying, the colors pop so much better. Also, it is a good idea to watch the color chart, cause putting certain colors together can make for one messed up tie dye lol. What kind of dyes are you using at the moment if you do not mind me asking?? Sorry for the later reply, I just reciently moved and have been super busy.
Peace and Love Carlee
no worries, hope the move is going well. Im using procion fiber reactive dye, its working pretty well, for a while i was using all purpose, and i made a pretty groovy shirt with it but most of the shirts faded alot when i rinsed them. (Also bleach has worked well on some of my darker colored shirts). Do you mind if i ask what the color chart is?
Yes, the move it went very well. We are all settled.
I have never heard of procion fiber reactive dye before. I order my dyes from Dharma and have been very happy with their products. Are you using soda ash fixer before you dye your garments?? The soda ash helps the dyes to stay brighter longer. It works great. I have used bleach also, and found it was very groovy! The color chart consists of your primary colors. Fuschia, Turquoise, and Yellow. You could also use Red, Blue, and yellow. The first thing you should do is choose your colors. Tie-dye your T-shirt using one, two, or three colors. When using more than one color, it’s usually best to start with the lightest color. When tie-dyeing with two or more colors, plan to put adjacent primary or secondary colors next to each other. In the areas where they run together, they will create a third, great-looking color. For instance, Scarlet and Golden Yellow will produce Orange; Royal Blue and Kelly Green will make Aqua; Fuchsia and Royal Blue will create Purple. Hope I was a help to you.
Peace Out!

groovy, ive seen the dharma dyes are used alot, ill have to try em out. I use soda ash. Thanks for the color hints by the way, ill be sure to put it all to good use. The bleach really works well, i used it on a black stones shirt in the middle of the stones mouth and did a spiral and it turned yellowish white and was really cool.
Well thanks for the advice, been a big help.
