Red, White & Blue Tie Dye Tee
Red, White & Blue USA Spiral Tie Dye Tee
~ One of a kind gift idea ~
A classic tye dye swirl design was hand tied & dyed fire red & brilliant blue with safe and nontoxic fiber reactive procion dyes. It's hard to keep white areas on tie dyes white due to colors bleeding but luckily this item turned out spectacular! We used an adult V-Neck Gildan brand t-shirt and the back has the same design as the front.

Ultra Violet = Pantone Color of the Year 2018
"A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future." as stated on Pantone website. 💜💜💜
"Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the
cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond
where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what
is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond
our own." - read more here!
I gotta say, I love me some purple to dye up tie dyes!
This is an excellent color of the year that I use every year with great success. Not dying much this year so a bit bummed out on making violet creations but can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.
Color Inspiration is everywhere!

Custom Tie Dye Mandala Tees
Since we've added a new bundle of joy to our lives I haven't been able to sling much dye in the Moon Lab these days. Get plenty of requests and I hate turning them down but my time is occupied with baby Silas now.
Finally gave a custom tie dye order a shot and well, figured out I'm still not ready to get fully back in the lab lol. Motherly sacrifices!
My 7 month old son was teething super bad the whole month of May and it pretty much took me the whole month to finish up on my custom order, doh. I did have to give the two designs a try three times each so it took longer then imagined juggling tie dying and a super crabby teething baby. The last two we tied up and dyed turned out super awesome and those were the ones she picked yeaaa!
 |
| First attempts of a copy of a listed design |
 |
| First attempts of lime green, purple & navy color combo |
 |
| Final design, way sharper mandala! |
 | |||
| Final design, nice points & color tones! |
I truly love how they turned out, thought I had lost my touch tying & dying after this long break from the craft. Ahhhh!
Needless to say, I am not taking on any custom tie dye orders for a while longer. If you're totally interested in getting a piece of our work you can check out the pre-made items listed and ready to ship in our Etsy shop!
The first attempt tie dye tees pictured above will be listed in our shop once we get individual pics of them.

Tie Dye Agate Geode Design - Shibori "Spider" Kumo Technique by Moon Dyes
The wild ways a tie dye can be hand tied up and dyed makes all of our handmade creations one of a kind while keeping our job interesting each and every day...
 |
| Geode MoNsTeR! |
This far-out gifted tee was tied in a Agate Geode design aka Shibori "Spider" Kumo Technique and vat dyed one of our NEW fiber reactive colors from Dharma Trading Co. = Peony.
 |
| Peony Pink |
Took forever to tie up but the untying was a snap since I used one looong string of sinew an as you can see from the final outcome...it looks so GrOoVy!
 |
| Untying is easy with sinew! |
This listed and ready to ship v-neck tee was vat dyed in another NEW color, Power Berry. For sale HERE
WHOA!
 |
| Power Berry Purple |
I'll be making more of this tye dye design to list for sale in my Etsy shop. Going to dye some multi colors and others vat or ice/muck dyed solid colors like the pics above.
Can't wait to add more of this new design to our shop!

Festival Inspired Sunburst Tye Dyes - Cockers Woodstock Tie Dye Tee
A million times I'm asked to make a replica tie dye design from a super groovy hippie festival back in 1969 worn by Joe at least every other week.
All an all it's a very simple and mega retro tye dye sunburst or sunflower design but the fact that I have to make something look like the work of another tiedyer when I do take on these customs is a big pain in the arse lol. Doing them on long sleeve henley tees is a major reason why its tricky but I do love a challenge, sometimes...
Listed & ready to ship festival replica henleys currently in our Etsy shop.
(Just click on the size or picture below)
When I do take on a custom sunburst replica some trials are a must first since the blank henleys are spendy.

Kids Youth tees are also a fun thing to experiment with different & new tye dye designs and color combos on. The fact that this is a short sleeve t-shirt makes this far-out design easier to tie and dye.

| Kids Medium Retro Sunburst |
Soon we'll make this design on adult sizes too!

Tie Dye Ice Cream Tees
Did a fun custom tie dye order for two toddler tees and a v-neck ladies style t-shirt which turned out super cute & yummy!
When doing customs I usually do two of each item to make sure one of them works out. A valuable lesson learned from many years of failed custom orders lol. This way I can always list the extras in my Etsy shop.
 |
| Find the center & draw out the design |
 |
| Sometimes I mess up on the centering lol |
Important steps in hand tying shape designs on a tee shirt is first, always make sure you center the design in the middle of the tee and get in at the right height as well.
You may need to try it on or hold it up to your body to make sure it looks right. Too far up or too far down and it will look a wee bit funny.
Be Creative!
Think of placing the shape in an unusual way like on the bottom sideways or on the back of the top. Go crazy.
 |
| Hand tied with sinew and tiny rubber bands |
After you've decided where the shape will go fold the FRONT only of the t-shirt in half where the design was drawn. If your a good artist you can fold the tee then draw out half of the ice cream design.
FOLDING & TYING:
Start at the cherry on top, tie it up pleating on the line and tie it with sinew or tiny hair rubber bands.
Then tie the ice cream part.
I use one long string of artificial sinew for Moon Dyes shape designs. Love the white line it produces and I have less worrying about bleeding of my colors. Rubber bands can be used tight on each part as well. I crinkle the ice cream area so I can dye it a light color and then a darker on top for a psychedelic look.
Then you tie up the cone area in a pleat fashion. To keep it together I wrap the tiny hair bands on it. Dye light brown with a little dark brown on top to give it a waffle cone look!
Stripes were tied around the tie dye ice cream cone design all through out the tee to finish the tying part up.
 |
| A sneak peak into the tie dye Moon Lab |
DYING:
Procion fiber reactive dyes are hand mixed fresh for all projects.
 | |||
| Rainbow colors of awesomeness! |
Droppers are used for each color to apply dye in small tricky areas of the shape designs. It takes patience and a steady hand!
 | ||
| Tie dye artist secret, shhhhh! |
After I've hand dropped the ice cream shape part I use the bottles of dye to dye up the rest of the tee. Then I store it in a plastic tote with a lid for 12-24 hours in a warm are to let the dye bond with the fabric to make it colorfast. You can also use a plastic grocery bag if you have no totes.
WASH OUT DAY:
Rinse out excess dye in COLD water until water runs fairly clear. Untie or unwrap your item and rinse in cold again. Then throw it in a hot wash cycle with a squirt of blue dawn dish liquid or synthrapol detergent. Wash 2-3 times more depending on how dark of colors you've dyed with and how big of a load done.
Tumble dry low and wear!
To keep dyes bright & vibrant wash in COLD water with like colors.

LIla Moon - Tie Dye Artist at Moon Dyes
⭐🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑⭐
Hiya!
My name is Lila Moon & I'm a Moon-aholic 🌙
Selenophile (n.) a person who loves the moon.
It's true, the soothing Moon vibes I feel in the darkness recharge me and make me feel at peace. Hence my new* business name "Moon Dyes". I imagine the light
of the moon radiating onto each piece of fabric I dye, helping the fibers bond
with the pigment while I dye it. It's silly but encourages my artistic growth.
Find me on FB! - @four20moon
*We used to be named The Four20moon Shop, then Four20moon Dyes but I wanted a
more family friendly name so we changed it in May to Moon Dyes! "Four20moon" will still be around but it will just be a clothing line for our Hemp, Shroom & other 420 party style tie dye designs.
What helps you get creative with your craft?

| Custom Kids Smiley Face Tees |
Custom tie dye orders tend to make my day and this one for 10 toddlers in Texas will always bring a big smile to my face! Notice how each Smiley is the same...but different. I tried to give each "SMILE" tee it's own one of a kind personality.
 |
| OOAK "Hand Tied" Tie Dyes |
Hand tied each tee after folding them in half and drew half of a smiley face on it with a waterproof marker. To tie a tiedye you can use rubber bands of all sizes and widths or sinew. I use a variety of both depending on what kind of shape design I'm tying up. For the face using rubber bands will work fine but to get some dope white lines go with the sinew.
 |
| Bold & brightly dyed Tie Dyes! |
Bottle dyed with high quality, non toxic, fiber reactive & colorfast procion
dyes from Dharma Trading. Its tricky to keep the face yellow and dye the eyes and mouth black but sometimes when the dye bleeds some pretty far out results can happen. This can become stressful when doing customs for you don't want to majorly mess them up. Droppers, dry fabric and tons of patience works wonders.
Always wash your items in COLD water with like
colors to keep your dyes bright. This applies to any of your tie dyes,
even ones not purchased from Moon Dyes :)
