TULIP Fabric Dye 37934 Fdy Lg Mermaid 5-Color 4Oz Kit, Detailed

I started tie dyeing and could not understand why I had pink dots on my shirts when I hadnt even opened the pink dye packet. Turns out all the dye packets were leaking from their sealed pouches so I got dye all over my workspace and colors on my shirts that I didnt intend. I was able to wipe it off my workspace, but my shirts were ruined.

Really excellent kit. I have not done this since I was a kid and Im having a blast. Super easy to use and great colors. Good for kids and adults

The Aegean Sea is NOT gray as depicted on the box. Not at all, not one bit. It is distinctly TEAL. I bought this kit specifically to get that dark gray and its not gray. Just trying to make some Ohio State color-themed shirts for some friends (with red and black from another kit), and teal does not fit that profile. Its a beautiful color, it just isnt gray. Also, Tulips red often comes out pink (and I let my shirts batch much longer than the directions indicate to try to get the deepest colors I can). So frustrating, and wasted the money I spent on those shirts and dye, and the time spent.

I bought this kit as one of my COVID-19 stay at home projects. Half the dye powder comes in the bottles and the other half is in packets. I used first half to dye the shirts pictured (4 adult tees, 2 adult tanks, and 2 kids’ tees) and will be giving the rest to my sister. I probably could have stretched it further but I applied generous amounts of dye to ensure the colors were vibrant (and they are!). As recommended by others I purchased a pound of soda ash separately and soaked the shirts in it for 20 minutes before dying. I also let the dye set overnight instead of the 6-8 hours instructed. My technique could use some work but I’m pretty happy with the results!

They werent as bright but still pretty

Great colors

Super fun and easy to use with excellent instructions and samples. Both my kids and myself had a blast dying shirts. Totally into it now.

My little sister wanted tie dye clothes for her birthday and was bummed we couldnt go anywhere. We had a tie dye party at home and it worked great! We just used the powders to ice dye and everything turned out great! The colors are vibrant and the pattern looks great too. Ice dyeing definitely uses more dye per item, but none of us needed a ton of stuff so it was great for our purposes. We soaked our items in a dye fixative after which I think helped with keeping the colors bright & defined.

We got white clothes rather than craft tees for variety, and the kids had FUN,! We used a dish washing tub outside, and placed the wet shirts once designed into large bags for the longer amount of time. I rinsed and wrung them out before laundering. We made tees, tanks, shorts, and even dyed white denim short-alls. Great way to get kids of all ages involved.

Nice colors, and good kit with instructions. Bought this for dying onesies at an outdoor baby shower, and it was a hit!
