Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit 15-Color Party Kit, Standard, Rainbow

This dye was so easy to use. Instructions were clear to understand & I appreciated that it came with all the material needed. Wide variety of colors in the dyes & very vibrant. This turned out to be such a great & fun family activity.

looks good this is a christmas present daughter will love it

Pigment was very bright. I knocked a star off because one of the colors had exploded in the box and it was all over EVERYTHING causing pink splotches randomly, the reds and oranges didn’t dissolve as well as the blues, and our green was actually a teal. There was more that we had dyed though and we had fun. We bought a bunch of shirts from Burlington and TJ Maxx to spruce them up a bit. Over all even with pink all over the place, this is probably the best kit I’ve used.

I loved this the dye kit and we had lots of fun using it! It was definitely easy to use, but some of the bottles would leak when you would shake it up to mix, which wasnt fun, luckily we shook them all in the sink and I was ready for it so I could try to direct the splatter. Not a deal breaker, but I wasnt in love with that part. It came with everything we needed including directions on how to tie the shirts for each effect. We tie dyed everything we could get our hands on, even some white turtle neck style face masks for the kids to make their masks personalized and fun :) the colors did fade more than I expected on the first wash, but not nearly as bad as rit dye or anything. They are still dark and bright! ( To be fair Im comparing to a brand I previously used, I cant remember the name, that didnt fade at ALL after washing, even after a few years) so this isnt the BEST out there, but its a very close runner up, price was great, and we had a super fun family day doing this together, that ran into the next day when we got to unwrap them and see our creations. I accidentally bought two, and instead of returning the second, Im keeping it for a rainy day with the kids :) I do highly recommend.

I used this kit to tie dye 8 items with my sister and our kids. First time tie dyers. It was fun! It was also hilarious because we are 2 women who cannot relax and tend to overthink everything. Can’t over think tie dyeing. Can’t really even anticipate how it will turn out. So, after some unnecessary stressing and surprisingly little mess every single one of our items came out beautiful. It was such a good memory making experience! Going to do it again but will stress less and enjoy the prices more. I do have a tip for you, though: make sure you wash your items first and do not use fabric softener before you tie dye. Also: use less dye than you think you need. We used all of it. Every single drop from all 15 bottles and it was too much. I realize now that this kit would have tie dyed at least 19 items had we not been so heavy handed with the dye.

This is a great tie dye supply set. Its complete and has everything you need with the exception of shirts or other items you wish to tie dye and plastic bags for the items to sit in while the dye sets (gallon sized ziplocs). This was our first time doing tie dye, so I took my time looking up suggestions and tips. Following some basic tips went a long way in guaranteeing not only that this wasnt a completely messy disaster, but also that the shirts turned out vibrant and continue to last wash after wash: 1. Choose items that are 100% cotton and wash them before using the dye to remove any manufacturing chemicals, etc. 2. Start the process with damp materials. I took ours right out of the washing machine. They shouldnt be sopping wet, simply damp. 3. Use a kitchen cooling rack for dying. This allows extra dye to pool under the item where it wont mess up the patterns attempted. We also used this over a sheet pan so it collected the dye and was easy to dump! For patterns we wanted to be specific, we rinsed the pan/cooling rack/our gloves with the hose between each tee. 4. Use a lot of dye! Damp material helps the dye go further, but you still need to soak each color section well. Pour into fabric folks as well to make sure you get full coverage. With this set, we vibrantly dyed 11 tee shirts (2 adult L, 1 Adult 2XL, 1 Adult M, 1 Adult SM, 1 Child L, 3 Child M, 2 Child SM) 5. GO OUTSIDE! No matter how cleanly you think this can be done, it cannot. Take it outside for everyones sanity and for the benefit of your homes interior. 6. WEAR. THE. GLOVES. And wear clothes you dont care about. Even filling bottles, you will find the powder magically appears on your gloves (its evil like glitter!) and any drops of water mean instant dye. Take it outside and wear clothes that are black or clothes you dont care about messing up. 7. Once done with an item, do not unravel it. Place it in its own ziploc bag (I suggest gallon size) for at least 24 hours. 8. After 24 hours, take each item out of its bag separately, remove any rubber bands and rinse with the hose outside. Rinse until the water comes out fairly clear. Dont panic if the item starts to look grey as you rinse. That is normal! 9. Wash each item SEPARATELY in HOT water and then hang dry. This is the only time you need to wash them separately. (You can get away with washing like colors together if you arent afraid of any dye swapping in the wash). Hang dry. 10. For the next THREE washes, wash the tie dyed materials together with no other items. Wash on HOT and hang dry. 11. From the 4th wash on, cold water is great and they can be washed as normal. To keep vibrant, always hang dry. Bonus Tip -- YouTube is an excellent resource for patterns! Especially the videos provided by the manufacturer. It seems like a lot, but it really is easy! And this is a no-fail way to make sure you love your items and they last a long, long time!

I bought the dye so my students can create tye-dye socks and t-shirts for World Downs Syndrome Day. The kids had a lot of fun twisting and tying and putting color on the material. We let it all sit for 24 hours and then washed the products. (Cotton t-shirts and socks) When they came out of the wash ALL of the socks were white and blue only. All of the red, yellow, and green colors were washed out. I re-read the directions (I am a teacher) and made sure that the instructs that came with the product were followed to the letter. We prewashed the fabric and dried it and added water to the dye bottle, filling to line. (note how it does not say a particular temperature) Then it says to apply dye to the fabric (doesnt say anything about using rubber bands to create the tye-dye effect). We then wrapped and covered the fabric overnight and rinsed it well with water as instructed. Here it says to cut rubber bands (note, nowhere before does it say to wrap the fabric using the bands). Not even in the tips does it suggest anything. So before you lose money on this product as I did - according to their website it says: 1) Use WARM water to mix the dye. Hot water will break it down, and cold water will cause it to undissolved. 2) Use rubberbands on fabric to help create a nice pattern. 3) SOAK MATERIAL IN VINEGAR to saturate BEFORE you apply the dye. 4) Use dye to create patterns 5) Let sit overnight or up to 24 hours. 6) Rinse in COLD water thoroughly to remove the excess dye. 7) Washing in WARM water is the final step. Hope yours works out well using these revised steps from the internet. I am truly disappointed in the Tulip brand that I came to know and love for years.

This was a fun kit and my family of 6 was able to each make a shirt of their own. The only complaint is that some of the powder dye escaped the bottles during shipping, so it was messy when we opened the box. Also they give you 1 small square of plastic thats supposed to be a table cover but is only big enough for 1 project at a time. My family split all the colors up (youll need at least 1-2 whole bottles of color for 1 adult shirt) and we bought a large cheap plastic table cloth to protect the whole area so we could all make our shirts at the same time while the dye was fresh.

Tye dye is so fun and addicting. This kit provides plenty of colors and allows for multiple uses. Great as a gift. I would definitely buy again.

I was able to dye 3 items. Fairly large items
