*The tie dye stockings used in this giveaway are two of the first ones created, have some minor sewing flaws to them an are kind of skinny but still functional. You will not be receiving a perfect gift but a pretty damn cool one that can be used as decor if anything. The gifts inside it are just a bonus! I lined them both with a spacey black fabric and doubled up the cuff to ensure durability. Hand sewed a few tiny jingle bells on the cuffs points and put a matching tab on it to hang for the Holidaze! Hoping to get a few more made perfectly and listed in our Etsy shop early December. 

Fun Fact:
These Holiday stocking were upcycled from our 2015 xmas tiedye shirts!

We only wore them once and just for this Family photo.

We haven't been crafting much colorful goods these past 3 years due to us having not one, but TWO kiddos in a row. One boy in 2015 an another in 2017. Talk about a baby boom! Needless to say we have been super busy with our babies and nothing else. Now they are toddlers and we're excited to get back in the dying game. Every month we will have an item up for grabs to let our fans know we are thinking about them and appreciate the views, comments, questions & sales!

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)

Extra Large - Lightweight

 

2XL - Heavyweight

3XL - Heavyweight

When I do take on a custom sunburst replica some trials are a must first since the blank henleys are spendy. 

Love doing experiments on handy-dandy Bandanas!

Retro Sunbursts

Double Retro Sunbursts

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!

(Want one now? Drop our shop a message to arrange a custom order)

Thanks for looking!

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

Its tricky to position shape designs on a v-neck tee

 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.
