> 3 dayUsed this kit with my 11 and 9 year old children and it worked really well. If you have never tie dyed, make sure you read the entire set of instructions and watch some YouTube videos For just general tie dye techniques. If you do your research, you can get some really good results. Tips- -Use a dollar store plastic tablecloth to protect your work surface. -Work on a rack of some sort inside a container like an aluminum cake pan or shallow plastic tub. -Wash ANYTHING you tie dye first to remove chemicals from the manufacturing process that can prevent color from adhering to the fabric. -Work on wet 100% cotton clothing. I work right out of the washer. -Make sure your clothing is WET when you microwave. Cons- -Use your own gloves because these aren’t the greatest. - I used my own rubber bands, too. - Anything larger than an adult XL might be difficult to fit in the container. You can still do larger garments, you’ll just want to seal them in a ziplock and let sit for at least 8 hours in a warm place.

Greater than one weekLots of dyes. Great colors. The grandkids loved it and had a mot of fun. We made 4 size small youth t-shirts (for 9 and 8 year olds) and have plenty left over to make more. Loved the microwave aspect which really sped the process up. The bottles leak though so be careful. Otherwise just great!!

Greater than one weekThe product is great, the colors came out well and the fact that you can have it done in 20mins is brilliant when you have young children who are excited to see the results. My only issue is that there are meant to be 14 different colors ranging from pinks through to blues and purples. We only received 2 each of the first 7 colors - through to yellow if you are looking at the box. This was very disappointing and not what we expected.

> 3 daySo I bought this for my sister birthday activity. She wanted to do tie dye clothes. We were only able to make about two adult sweaters, one boy sweater and a baby shirt and then we ran out of the dye. The bottles are small and the colors are pretty good. I wouldnt do the microwave as it really didnt change much or really kept the color in. I would just keep it in the container to hold it for a few hours to overnight. Also the container is too small for adult shirts. Only the smaller clothes fit inside it.

> 3 dayI was able to tie die on a girls weekend trip. It was cold outside so we were unable to air dry in the sun. The shirts came out great. However, it should be noted that the container is like a take out foood container so scrunching a shirt inside could damage your pattern by mixing dye colors if they touch. It was difficult to fit some shirts in without ruining the design

Greater than one weekTo be honest I almost gave this kit 2 stars but I gave it 3 because in the end it did Work to dye the clothes. It makes a mess so be prepared for this to take hours to do if you count clean up time not 30 min or so. Also if you want yellow to show at all do not mix it with Blue or green or you’ll be lucky if any yellow comes out. The blue and green are very strong and even 1 drop spreads everywhere. Even when washing the clothes out you have to be careful not to get any of those colors on the yellow or it will ruin it. Also be careful when microwaving. One of our items turned brown even though it was only in the microwave for 2 minutes. Overall it was worked but was such a hassle and a mess to use and the clothes do not come out at all like you hope so.

Greater than one weekThis was our first time doing tie dye, and it was very successful! Our 2 kids ages 6&7 helped with their shirts and they loved it. We used every drop of color from every bottle and did 4 adult shirts, 6 small kids shirts, and 2 pairs of kids shorts. The colors are so vibrant! We went by the directions and got them wet, wrung out well, tied (we used zip ties and rubber bands). Then microwaved each item in a container, waited 20 minutes to cool, rinsed with cold water until water was clear, then filled other sink with hot tap water and a drop of tide and hand washed for a couple minutes and rinsed well with hot. Wrung out very well and hanged to air dry. I changed out hot water with most individual items since I was only filling sink 1/3 up. Also, since we dyed them all at the same time, I just kept them all on their racks until I could microwave the next item, which was at most a couple hours and used a spray bottle to spray a little water on it before microwaving to make sure it didn’t scorch.
