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

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!

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.

Great

Buenos tonos de colores y de buena calidad no se dañaron

Will buy this kit forever and eer and ever. INCREDIBLE. Only put water in 1/2 the colors for the first time tye dyeing. Was able to do 5 kid shirts, baby pants, baby tank, adult L shirt. I still have 1/2 the colors to use the next time we do it. I love that it comes in botles for easy use and easy clean up. will buy again and again.

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.

Easy to follow directions and so much fun.

This tie dye kit is amazing!! The colors are bright and vibrant. The bottles were prefilled with powder dye and just needed water added. So easy to use!! The gloves are very thin and dont last long but I expected that. This kit is large and will color a lot of items. Would definitely buy again. Great value for the money!!

I bought this for my 10 year olds slumber party and it was a huge success!! I didnt allow the kids to use the dye bc its too cold to go outside, and the squirt bottles work but if you squirt too hard it just rolls off the shirt and makes a mess. I let the kids pick their own colors, and they all chose the same design, and the finished product was perfect! I made 4 shirts before i ran out of any colors using this design. I still have multiple bottles with half or less left, but you can only get about 3-5 shirts per bottle depending on the design you choose, if you really want to saturate it and not have faded and blank spots all over. For example all 4 girls wanted the turquoise but i had to improvise with blue on one bc the turquoise ran out...the picture is before they were washed

Not a quality product.
