Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Kaleidoscope, 12 Colors Tie Dye

Kinda fades with first wash. But it is really fun and easy to use. Just add water. Lots of colors and the pigments are pretty. I like the variety and colors, but I don’t like that the guide and instructions are so minimal (just the back of the cardboard) because it doesn’t have enough direction to be able to start without prior knowledge and experience.

This was a gift. It was easy to prepare. Comes with nice directions and ideas. Colors came out bright. We did wash our items first and let them sit overnight. Gloves are a must unless you wanted colored hands for a few days.

Black came out blue, even if I put in less water to make the color more saturated. I used it on a 100% cotton shirt, so I expected it to be vibrant.

Buying this kit was a no-brainer as I was searching for a simple kit with many color options, and pretty cost effective. Ill add some tips that will help your colors pop, and stay sharp wash after wash. Get yourself some organic urea nitrogen, and soda ash for dye. Both can be found here on Amazon under the Jacquard brand. Dick Blick has both of these items for considerably less cost, but I wanted everything to arrive at once so I ordered everything from Amazon! Step 1: Add two cups of the soda ash to two gallons of warm water, and dissolve. Be careful with this step as the fumes can be quite caustic. WEAR GLOVES. The soda ash will severely dry out your hands, and its just an unpleasant experience. Add items you wish to Tie dye to the water, and soda ash mixture, let sit for around an hour, be sure that items are thoroughly soaked. Step 2: since the dye is in 12, 4 ounce bottles, add only one half tablespoon of the urea organic nitrogen to the dye powder before filling with warm water, and shaking! Shake it up!! Shake it real good, yall! Now, your dye bottles are filled, your items are soaked, and your knees are shaking because you are ready to dye! Wring out all excess water from your items, and choose your design. This kit has a paper showing different designs, but YouTube is a great place to look up ideas! Now, if you wear any size shirt greater than a Mens large, I recommend doing the sunburst design, as it takes considerably less dye to cover, and saturate. Smaller items will look much better tie dyed, such as socks and underwear. As you can see in my photos. Finally, youve dyed all the things! Use plastic bags or saran wrap to wrap them each individually, never place two dyed items together or the colors will bleed into one another. This kits specifies to wrap for 8 hours, but I waited around 18 hours before unwrapping. Rinse excess dye out with COLD water, and wash on delicate, with cold water! Dry however you wish! I hung mine up to dry.

Easy to use. Directions include different tie dye methods. Colors are bright and kit includes everything you need.

The kit itself was easy to use and worked well. However I received it with the bottom of the box ripped partially open and when we opened it up to do the tie dye it was missing the instruction booklet AND the plastic drop/table cloth - 2 very important items!! Really annoying to not have instructions when it was our first time using this kit. And also really annoying to not have the plastic table cloth to protect the table from the dye as tie dying is a VERY MESSY process. We proceeded anyway cause we had everything ready to go and I didn’t want to let my kids down by scraping it due to missing items. I had to use cut up trash bags as a drop cloth. Ugh.

This is exactly what I was expecting. The colors are wonderful and very vibrant. There were some directions on style ideas so you know where and how to place the rubber bands. The only downfall is the color does go through the gloves!! My fingertips were stained for several days. But other than that everything worked really well and they turned out so nice.

This works great for a party, and the colors were fantastic. Really we all loved it and having and extra variety of colors made it even better. However, buy an additional plastic cover for the surface your working on, because the one included is small (6ft by 8ft if that). And we (group of 6 people) were able to dye about 10 garments (a mixture of shirts, tank tops, and socks) so even though it says it will dye 36 items, thats a significant overestimation.

Vivid colors and plenty to choose from.

I got this for my twin granddaughters for their birthday because they love to tie dye everything. They loved the set. The choices of colors is really great, and the fact that there are gloves and rubber bands included make this a great buy.
