Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Carousel Colors Tie Dye, 59 Piece Set

So far Ive made 3 shirts and I love them ! The colors are very vibrant which is what I was looking for . Ill definitly be able to make a bunch more and you cant beat that price

Easy to use, great results. Vibrant colors after soaking for 36 hrs, longer may have been even better. The magenta left specks of darker color, which is why I took a star off. But it may have just needed additional shaking? Some of the bottles did have a bit of dye on the outside, so be careful of that. I liked that the kit came with a set of colors that goes together well.

Christmas gift for my granddaughter

This worked just like it was supposed to. Nice, vibrant colors. Would definitely recommend.

Ordered these for a birthday party and the shirts looked great and the kids had a blast doing it!

I prefer to use the dry method, and these dyes are fantastic! We threw a little tie dye party for my 8 year old son, and none of the kids had any problems. Tulip is definitely my go-to tie dye brand!

I love this kit! It was very easy to use and turned out to be a lot of fun. After the first kit, I bought several more to practice the art and share it with my friends through tie-dye parties. Having gone through 3 full kits (and made a few mistakes), I have some tips to share to maximize your success: Wondering what kit to buy? If you get just 1, I would recommend carousel because this has the darkest colors that give the most vibrant results. If you get 2 kits, carousel plus rainbow gives you 10 different colors, therefore the greatest choice when you are making your shirts. Unfortunately, you can only get orange if you buy the luau or neon kits. For some reason, the 5-bottle kits are the cheapest per gram of dye (cheaper than the refill kits that dont even have bottles). Wait for them to go on sale, the price on Amazon varies a lot from one week to the next. Can you really get 30 shirts from one kit? Yes. But they wont be 30 adult 2XL. And you have to plan ahead--use all of the colors in the kit, dilute some of the colors, and catch the drips in a basin to re-use. I usually dye a half-and-half mix of adult and child shirts together and end up with 30 from a full kit. Can you dilute the colors? Yes, some are very amenable to dilution. Some of the best looking items I have made are serial dilutions of just a single color. These colors tolerate dilution very well: black, purple, turquoise. These colors tolerate a modest amount of dilution: blue, fuchsia, violet, lime, royal blue. These colors dont dilute well (dont bother trying): red, orange, yellow, teal. I do the dilutions in glass jars and use a plastic funnel to get the dye back into the bottle. Best dye technique. Put the tip of the bottle in contact with the shirt before you squeeze. Put the tip in between the folds. After you think you are finished with the piece, check between the folds to make sure that you dont see white; if you do, go back and dye the insides of the folds. After wrapping in cling-wrap, squeeze the piece--this also reduces excess white. Dye should not be dripping off of the piece or staining your gloves--if so, you are using too much dye. Finishing the piece. The directions on the kit say to wait a couple of hours to let the dye set. This is not a good idea. If you only wait a couple of hours, you will lose most of your dye down the drain and you will be shocked at how light and faded your piece looks. Much better to use the basic principles of chemistry to your advantage: remember, time and concentration drive the reaction forward, so wait as long as you can, and then lay the piece out to dry without washing. I wait a week, then spread the pieces out on the lawn to dry in the sunlight. After that, I run the whole batch through the rinse cycle in the washing machine about 6-8 times (until the water looks clear), then line dry, then wash in a normal wash cycle (with soap). This way, the finished piece comes out almost as dark as when you dyed it. And you can skip the hand-rinsing that you see in a lot of YouTube newbie videos, that is just too painful and there is no advantage to it. Be creative and have fun! There are some very good YouTube videos to teach you how to do this, just hunt around, you will find them.

This is a great brand! Ive tried another, but definitely didnt have the same quality outcome. As I type, Im wearing an older tulip tie dyed shirt and it still looks good! Colors come out vibrant and stay that way! I highly suggest dampening the shirt first, soaks in the dye much better! Definitely recommend!

It seems to keep the color when doing the shirts but we have not washed them that many times. Easy to use if you have done Tye Dye shirts before

Great dye to use for products with 100 % cotton
