In this how to video on making Tie Dye Stars
you learn the hard to find tricks of making the awesome Tie Dye star patterns. Many
people have requested the information on how to get the white lines into
the star pattern. If you also want to know how this is done, this video
is for you.
I go through all the steps
I take to make these
patterns. I start out by showing you the folds that are used to get the right
shape of the star with out ever touching the cotton.
You are guided through each of the folding steps. Then
I tell and show you how to tie the cotton to create the star pattern
onto a tapestry sheet. The things I show you are hard to explain in writing,
and therefore hard to find on the Internet. My video on Stars clarifies many of
the misconceptions and misunderstandings about the star pattern and the white
lines. |
 |
Just incase you’re wondering how to make this pattern
on a shirt; I make another star pattern onto a tee shirt. I want you to
learn the differences in folding the pattern on two types of cotton.
 |
Once the cotton is folded, you will
learn the secret
to coloring the star pattern. These tie dye techniques make the perfect star pattern
almost every time. Then I continue to color the Tie Dye in a somewhat fast
forward mode. Not too fast, but fast enough to keep your attention, and to have
room left for showing you how to make the star pattern on a shirt.
I color the Star using 5 colors.
I make sure
you know which color I'm using at all times. I explain how to color
the unique folds and ties I've added to the cotton. You will get to see me
color the entire Tie Dye tapestry.
Once the tapestry has been colored and 24 hours have
gone by, you will see me open the Tie Dye. As the tapestry is opened I
explain to you what you are looking at to help your understanding of the
pattern.
|
In the second Tie Dye star pattern, I
again use 5 colors to help aid in your understanding. So you get to hear me
describe in different words how to make the star pattern. You will see each step
I take.
|
Once the shirt has been colored and 24 hours have
passed, you will see me open the shirt. This is always the best part of making
Tie Dyes. You will see the magic of the Tie Dye unfold right in front of your
eyes. You will see the shirt before and after it has been washed. This will help
you understand what will happen to the colors after they have been washed out of
the cotton.
During the coloring portion of the star on the shirt,
I again speed the video just enough to keep your attention at a peak level.
A 15 minute sound clip of
me playing my drums has
been added to the DVD menu. These drums were all played and recorded by me
during the making of the first video Tie Dye Crash Course.

This is an advanced video on making
Tie Dyes in a
series of Crash Courses taught by Brad Garrett. In this video Brad does not
cover preparing the cotton, mixing the dyes, or washing the Tie Dyes once they
are finished. These topics are part of the
first video in the series of
Tie Dye
Crash Course DVDs.
