INTRODUCTION
Tie-dyed products are a result of local
wisdom of unique patterns and colors in
cotton fiber, which is a natural material. A
simple design process begins with
designing the patterns and colors from
natural ingredients. These are the unique
natures of the tie-dyeing, which is
transmitted
from
generation
to
generation.
INTRODUCTION
Hence, the researchers have attempted to study the design process of
dyeing with natural dyes to mimic the
qualities of synthetic dyes, including the color shades and they often
forget about the unique qualities of natural colors and try to apply the
rules and criteria of synthetic dyes to natural substances, especially in
terms of the durability of the dye, which is very different.
The purpose of the research project
•To study the history, types, style, technique, and process of tie-dyeing.
•To study the extraction of dyes from natural materials that can be used
to make fabric dye.
•To study the process of designing fabric patterns with tie-dyeing
technique.
•To integrate with the project to promote academic career building.
Added expertise about making tie dye. And strengthening the
community
•To build knowledge in accordance with the syllabus to develop design
and work on the topic of designing tie-dye fabrics and making tie-dye
pattern design for the course TOD 3212 and the extraction of natural
colors in the course TOD 3309 traditional weaving.

Finding
Tie-dye patterns
Tie-dying is preventing the color of the dye to absorb into certain parts of
the fabric by folding, crumpling, wrapping, sewing, clamping, or a
combination of methods, followed by tying the fabric with string or
elastic bands. Then, the fabric is emerged into either one or several
colored dyes to create the desired pattern. Each method creates unique
and different patterns. The dyer must study and experiment with these
methods meticulously to make sure that they can achieve the desired
end result. (Department of Industrial Promotion, 1997, P.45)

Shibori Tie-dye
Tie-dye on fabric is a tradition that has carried over in many countries
such as Thailand, Malaysia, India, Japan, etc., and is collectively referred
to as " Plangi”. It originated in Central Asia, then spread to Japan and
India through merchants traveling through trade contacts throughout
Asia. In India.it is called " Banthana”, which means to tie or to bond. In
Japan, it is called “Shibori”, which means tying or knotting. (Chuang
Moolpinij ,1995, P.32) .

Natural Dyes
The natural dyes are derived from plants, various animals, and mineral
can be dyed with both hot and cold dye. The natural color is dependent
on stimulants that speeds up the absorption of the color and prevents
the bleeding of color during washing. (Visanu Dathong , 2010, (29
September 2014)).
Natural Dyes
The Groups of Natural Dyes
Grouped by color as follows:
Reds
:
Yellows
: turmeric, Pood wood kernel,
night jasmine, sappan root,
tamarind leaves, raw bel fruit
Browns
: Mangrove bark, Cutch bark, Payom bark,
Pomegranate peel, Kang bark,
white Poeng bark
Lac, wild mulberry, rambai, kernel,
achiote, myrobalan bark
Navy blues : Gourd leaves, Tropical almond leaves,
Indian trumpet bark, Mergui bark,
myrobalan bark, Rahood bark, Lien leaves
Blacks
: Diospyros fruit, Pipekmyrobalan fruit,
False daisy leaves, Leum Olives, Asna bark,
Tubtao fruit, Tomato peel

Operating Results
Designing tie-dye patterns for 4 pieces of fabric as follows:
Item 1dyes with colors extracted from sappan bark
Dyes with colors extracted from sappan bark
Item 2 dyed with colors extracted from purple cabbage
Dyes with colors extracted from purple cabbage
Item.3 dyed with colors extracted from basil leaves
Dyed with colors extracted from basil leaves
Operating Results
Designing tie-dye patterns for 4 pieces of fabric as follows:
Item4 dyed with colors extracted from mango peel
Dyes with colors extracted from mango peel
Conclusion
In these patterns, the researcher studied the extraction of natural dyes
from 4 types of plants: Sappan wood bark, purple cabbage, basil, and
mango peel. Then the preliminary design principles of tie-dye is applied:
folding, crimping, wrapping, clamping, and sewing, combined until a
new pattern is formed to produce colorful and beautiful scarves.
Further Suggestions
•Those interested in the extraction of natural dyes can try other types of
plants that have never been used before, or try to combine plants and
animals to achieve new knowledge and develop into knowledge that
can be distributed and used in other forms of creative work.
•Tie dye patterns cannot be duplicated.. It is likely that those who are
interested can learn and create new techniques. The endless
possibilities and the knowledge to make tie dye colors from natural
extracts can continue on in the next generation as well.
