Ice dyeing is a fun way to create colorful patterns on fiber using natural color. Freezing fresh or exhaust dyes into ice cubes welcomes a diffused watercolor palette. Adding a layer of dried dye flowers to the frozen mix will invite punches of vivid hues on top. The combination is a lovely way to create tie dye effects to your favorite textiles. Plus, with the help of some common household products, colors can be shifted to expand the rainbow of hues. This tutorial will show you how to ice dye with frozen exhaust dyes & dried flowers, shift color with pH modifiers as well as the resulting effect on cotton.

Image 1: A tie-dye tote bag. A measuring tape is next to it, showing it is approximately 23 inches in length from the top of its handles to the bottom of the bag. It is mixture of dark purple, black, grey, and white splotches. There are some flecks of golden yellow.

Oh boy, here I go dying again. I’ve got some color shirts I bought to make things with my Cricut, but my iPad no longer works with it bc it’s too old and so the program constantly crashes.

(Waiting to replace it until the updated one comes out, plus gives me time to save.)

SO!! I’m tie dying with the intention to sell them instead bc they’re all random sizes and most don’t fit me. Might even try reverse dying with some bleach…. 🤔 But I don’t really have a good spot outside to do it…. I need an outdoor table or a folding one lol.

Fingers crossed they turn out okay!
