Our Dyes & Supplies
Dyes
We use premium, non-toxic, professional grade Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes. These dyes create bonds with the fiber of the fabric, creating permanent, vibrant colors. Soda ash is always included somewhere in the dying process to prepare the fibers of your fabric to better absorb dyes and therefore produce brighter results
Techniques Used
Liquid Dye
HWI (Hot Water Irrigation)
Ice Dye
My personal preference for dying. Ice dying creates unique color splits and bleeds as the ice melts- dissolving the dye powders and slowly saturating the fabric.
Shirts
Before dying myself, all of my tie dye tees (as awesome as they were) had a heavy, stiff feeling-no matter how many times I would wash them. When I was choosing the shirts I wanted to create on- I sought out the opposite feel.
Unless noted otherwise, we use Gildan Unisex Soft style 4.5 oz. T-Shirts made of 100% preshrunk ring spun cotton. These shirts are lighter weight and have a smooth, soft feel to them. Shirts do run small to size therefore I recommend ordering a size up for a more comfortable fit.
What to Know
One of the many marvels of handmade tie dye is each piece of work is unique. Unlike prints, the design can not be truly copied & pasted thus ensuring what you receive will be sincerely one-of-a-kind.
If you purchase a tie-dye item that offers more than one variant, such as size- You will be receiving a product created in the same style, with the same color(s) and technique(s) used the in the listing photo.

Let customers speak for us
Haven’t received my second order. The first one was a medium but what I would consider a small to extra small so went with the XXL this time for a 62 pound dog and hoping it fits. They tye die job is very cute 😊
Excellent quality dog carrier bag! The colors are great! I have bought other items from Bear Paw from dog clothes to people clothes, all very artistically done and DO NOT SHRINK
My dog love the ball and the Grateful Dead!
Just beautiful! Alesha was a joy to work with and turnaround was crazy quick!!
I've bought many items, dog leash,dog shirt to people pants and tees. Great quality and wonderful designs!
This is an excellent quality shirt and looks great on!! I also love the longer length, as many shirts end up looking like crop tops on our pup. I initially did not look at the sizing chart, my bad, but it fit my friends, pup perfectly, and I gladly bought one size up for our pup. The customer service is excellent, and the shipping is lightning fast! Highly recommend!!
What a talented artist! Absolutely love what you created for me! Thanks for accommodating and shipping so quickly, so I could recieve for Valentine’s Day! I’ll be ordering more in the future 💕 I definitely recommend for your dye creations! What a sweet seller who is such a wonderful creator 💜💜💜
absolutely love the Bandanas great colors and graphics 🥰
I highly recommend purchasing literally anything Alesha has to offer! She went above and beyond to design matching ice-dyed shirts for my new puppy and I. It’s very obvious that she takes pride in her work and is more concerned about you being 100% in love with your purchase, rather than being concerned about making a buck. You can just feel the heart and soul that goes into each piece she creates🖤 I was so pleased with the t-shirts that she made custom just for us, that I had to buy one of her beautiful tapestries, as well. All in all, 20/10 stars- highly, HIGHLY recommend!! I will most certainly be back for future purchases ☺️
