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

Had a blast using this tie dye kit with boys ranging in ages from 4-8!! We were able to make 4 youth tee shirts, 4 bandanas, and 2 adult tank tops with dye leftover. A few recommendations: 1. Wear Rubber gloves 2. Buy bulk white bandanas to use up extra dye if you don’t want any to go to waste 3. Plan ahead and launder the items you will dye the day before 4. The instructions say to machine wash each item individually after letting the dye set. In the interest of avoiding 10 loads of laundry with only one item in each, I thoroughly (and I mean THOROUGHLY) washed and rung out each item in a utility sink with hot water. I didn’t stop rinsing until the water coming out of the shirts was almost completely clear. Then I washed all of the freshly tie dyed items together in one load and had no problems. I did wash them on their own a few more times before adding with regular laundry 5. Don’t oversaturate! 6. If working with kids, do it outside if possible All of us loved this kit and the kids can’t wait to get another one and tie dye again!!

We have two sons who enjoy a good tie dying of shirts and themselves every once in a while. I ended up purchasing this kit so they would both be able to make a shirt for an upcoming school event. The colors came out great and I enjoy how the kit came with everything - rubber bands, gloves, table cloth. The one down fall is that the gloves didnt protect our hands as much as I would have liked so definitely put a rubber pair under them. Other than that it was super easy to use and I would recommend this kit.

Kids had fun easy to use would recommend getting smaller gloves as these are HUGE even on adults

Thanks

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.

So, in an effort to keep my kids engaged and off of electronics while isolated in the house we purchased this and lots of white clothing. We went through everything and I ended up dying pillow cases and really everything possible....and yes, I ended up.... I enjoyed this activity more than the kids and found it quite therapeutic. Ive purchased two if these kits and have enjoyed every drop of color. Just beware: the dye isnt great and washed out easily. Make sure and wash separately for the first few washes so that you dont stain other clothes

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 liked all the color options. I didnt like the mess.

Easy to use with the prefilled dye containers. However two of the fifteen colors didnt have dye in them; teal and orange. The kids never knew the difference and had a blast. We dyed 10 Pillowcases and had remaining dye left over.
