Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Party, 18 Pre-Filled Bottles, Creative Group Activity, All-in-1 Fashion Design Kit, 1 Pack, Rainbow

I used this with a group of kids at Vacation Bible School, ages 3 to 14. Everyone enjoyed it - even the adults and everyones shirt was different! Yes, it can be a little messy, but we did it outside. With a little help, even the youngest could apply the dye. We let them sit overnight, then rinsed them (worst part) them hung them on the clothesline to dry. We did 15 shirts and still had some dye left over. I would definitely do this again.

Fun to do with kids, even inside!

I ordered this for a younger teen for Christmas. It came with so many more colors and supplies than I really expected it to! The plastic case was good quality too and perfect for storage!

I was making shirts for camp, for 10 adults and 20+ kids. We did adults the first night to figure it all out. We were messy with it, putting too much dye on them, with dye dripping off of them. Several adults liked blue and green, and we used up all the light blue and most of the pink in one of the kits, but otherwise had at least half of the other colors leftover. When we did it with the kids the next day, we had them drop it very carefully, a few drops at a time. Much much less messy, much more controlled, no dye running all over, and PLENTY of all colors. We just wasted a lot the first time. With 30 shirts, and 2 kits, we still had half bottles of a lot of colors. Details: in both cases, we twisted and handed the shirts, then dyed them. Then we put each shirt in a ziplock bag, sealed, for 8ish hours. After that, we rinsed each stilled twisted shirt with water until it ran mostly clear, then put them all in a Rubbermaid tub with water and several cups of vinegar for about a half hour. After the vinegar, we drained them, unbanded them, and threw them all in the wash together. They came out beautifully. Tips: wear gloves. If kids are doing it, wear aprons or paint shirts. If adults are doing it, consider aprons or paint shirts. Consider doing it outside. We did it on an old picnic table and it was fine. There is a thin tablecloth in the kit, if you’re on a nice, big table, cover it well.

I got this to try for a fun summertime activity to do outside. It has been years since I’ve tie dyed anything, so I would definitely consider myself a beginner. This kit made everything so easy! My five year old and I dyed probably 8 kids shirts, 6 adult shirts, and 5 pairs of kids socks to use every drop of dye. The dye stained our skin as expected, but not for too long. I followed the setting instructions exactly, and after a few washes, everything still looks vibrant and bright! And the kids love the wearable artwork! I plan to make this an annual project.

Writing this review on behalf of me and 3 other adults that tried to make tie dye shirts for the first time in over 2 decades. Tie dying itself is not as easy as it looks to make the super cool designs we wanted, my review is just on the product not the outcome of our shirts! Ease of use: Very easy! Product includes instructions that are simple to follow. Again my shirts turning out like clown vomit were not the fault of the package but us adults that have no practice! Ink colors: Loved how many colors there were! I couldn’t tell if there were 2 bottles of each color or the colors were just slightly different but it didn’t matter because we did about 12 shirts and still have half the ink bottles untouched. Other stuff: Gloves in the package are the only thing I would complain about, they are like big floppy deli counter gloves that make it hard to play in so we used some nitrile gloves laying around to have more dexterity Rubber bands: tons and tons and tons Instructions: very simple OVERALL- highly recommend and have bought this 2x times now!

My daughter and I had so much fun! Wish there were some smaller gloves for the kiddo, but overall , it worked so well !!! Must have !

Purchased this kit on a whim and, WOW! I couldnt be happier with how bold the colors are. If you follow the directions you wont be disappointed!

My 2 & 4 yos and I made T-shirts using these dyes. They were extremely easy to use. You just add water and shake! We did this outside using a step stool covered in a plastic bag with paper towels on top and then had a wire cookie drying rack that we worked on (definitely needed) and I used some kid nitrile gloves that I had for my little ones. Each child picked two colors and that was enough dye for them each to do two xs childrens shirts (ie two dye bottles -> two shirts). I also picked two colors and that was not quite sufficient to do two adult shirts in the dry tie-dying style (I needed just a bit more dye). We let them sit overnight wrapped in cling wrap, rinsed them out with a hose on the lawn, washed in hot water in the washing machine and then dried. I havent had them bleed with that treatment onto other clothes. The colors are VIVID and the red is RED (not pink) and the dark blue is a darkish blue. Well be doing more in the future for other projects! (xmas gifts for grandparents of reusable grocery bags, tote bags, shirts, etc). This was my first attempt and I LOVED 3 of the 6 shirts we made (they looked professional and store-bought), and liked another 2. The last one was ahh but it had some mistakes made (wrong-colored ink getting through since I didnt change the paper towels under the rack between projects). For my kids I cut plastic bags to add holes for arms & head and put that on them to keep them safe in case they went crazy with the dye. It wasnt necessary but was good piece of mind. The 4yo didnt need much supervision but the 2yo needed some help.

My niece and her mom had a great mommy/daughter craft day for beginners making their own tie die shirts for vacation. The final look was great.
