Use the precision instruments you need like small hemostats or forceps or any other tool that can help better make your pleats and make them smaller by dividing them more and more.
Aim for small, consistent pleats along the whole spiral. The pleated spiral technique is a difficult technique to do well, but you can always tighten up your spiral more. This is the best pattern to learn for beginners, it’s a cool tie-dye pattern that is very easy to do but difficult to master.
SPIRAL TIE DYE HOW TO
What you want to do to properly learn how to do a spiral shirt is to do it very slowly and gently at first. As you make the spiral, the fabric will tend to bunch up and make large pleats that can make it difficult to dye evenly. Twisting the shirt flatly around the center is very important. You may need to learn a bit more about color theory to be able to properly make a super spiral, just like you need to learn how to use tools and equipment to make the pleated spiral. You can also mix and match your colors if you want to decide on a particular theme or you want to make a particular set or palette of colors. The more water in the shirt the less dye is able to penetrate, which gives you a very fragmented and beautiful spiral design. You can make this advanced spiral by soaking the shirt very well before you dye it. More advanced spiral designs are also the ones where you want more white to appear such as the exploded or fragmented spiral which I like a lot. You can also make super spirals by carefully making a pleated spiral and then dyeing it very well. The most advanced and complex spiral patterns are the ones where you need to tie-dye multiple different spirals on the same pice of fabric. We find that when you do it carefully it really doesn’t make much of a mess but when you’re new you can never be too sure! People like to use paper towels or newspapers to protect they work area. We find that the easiest solution is to simply tie-dye the shirt directly in the sink or in a bucket. Once you have your dye bottles and you’re all set and ready to tie-dye, just go ahead and put your folded spiral where you can squirt water on it and it will not make a mess. The simple classic rainbow spiral is easy to do, you just make 3 quadrants and dye each one a different color, red, yellow, and blue. They may use the same technique for folding (the spiral) but they can vary in the way you dye it. When you dye the design you need to know that every pattern has a different way of dyeing it.
The trick to dyeing a spiral pattern is where you put the color. So each quadrant represents 1/3 of the surface of the shirt.
We like personally to separate the shirt in three parts, one for each color. Just separate the folded spiral just as if it was a pizza or a pie. Blue, red, and yellow are the main colors we like to use they are easy and great for beginners to learn how to pick colors for tie-dye and learn what colors combos work well together. For the classic spiral pattern we need to mix three bottles to have all the three colors we need. So you’ve managed to twist your way to a neatly folded shirt, but how do you actually dye it? The first thing you need to make sure you do is to prepare the colors you’ll be using.
