Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Party Supplies, 18 Bottles Tie Dye, Rainbow, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Good quality color after rinse and wash, use soda ash pretreatment for more vibrant coloring

My grandkids, 4-8 years old, loved this. Surprisingly, not that messy, because of the individual bottles. Be sure to wear gloves. I recommend using other gloves though. The ones included are too big and clumsy. My six kids made 3 T-shirts each. They loved the unveiling as we unrolled them to reveal the design. I highly recommend using within a day or two. Colors definitely lose potency. They do get lighter as they are worn and washed, but they still look nice. Is there a way to make them more colorfast? I thought of heat setting them in the dryer but didnt want to stain my drier.

The colors are bright and the kit has everything you need for a few hours of tyedying fun!

Wow, this set made tie dye as simple and fun as possible - but also produced results that exceeded our expectations! We were all surprised and impressed by the designs that came out. This set comes with 18 squeeze bottles of colored dye powder. Each bottle is marked with a fill-to line, and you just have to add water and shake to turn the powder to dye. The bottles have a narrow nozzle that makes applying the dye easy to control. The colors are a really nice mix and are all super vibrant. Everything you need for the actual tie dye process is included - rubber bands to hold your shirts in place, and table cloths/covers to prevent the dye from getting onto surfaces. Theres a cool little instruction pamphlet with clear instructions on how to achieve different popular tie dye designs (simple swirl, etc.) that helped us get nice results.

I have bought this kit 3 times now, and I love it! Colors stay bright after multiple washes (in cold or eco-warm-just because thats what I usually run the washer on). I made burp/spit up rags and crib sheets with the first batch so they have spent quite a bit of time in the washer, not to mention that I have soaked them in Oxyclean and it doesnt ruin the colors. The first 2 pictures are all the items I did with one single kit this last time (dont mind the gag gift boxers LOL). The final picture is from when I first tried this kit 15 months ago and it has survived well through all the washings and the Oxyclean soaks. I do suggest cotton fabric but I noticed that some brands put a thin waxy coating on their fabrics to keep it clean for shipping, so I just wash them on warm with just a little detergent and dry them before binding them. I had no problems with the brands Haines or Fruit of the Loom and didnt prewash them, but had to massage it a bit as I dyed them for full saturation. Heres what I did: 1) I rubber band the fabrics I want to dye with the rubber bands included in the kit, but I also pick up an extra package or two of rubber bands just to make the designs more intricate. 2) I fill each bottle with half the needed amount of water, replace the caps and shake well to dissolve all powder because sometimes the powder can get stuck to the bottom of the bottle. Then I fill the bottles up the rest of the way and shake again. WEAR GLOVES even at this stage or you will have to scrub for days to get it off your skin- like I did, which made my job interview the next day a bit awkward. Hah. ALSO, leave the bottles standing or tilted upright once filled as they tend to leak laying down. 3) I lay out an old plastic shower curtain out in the yard in the shade, get comfortable with a drink and go to town- I use paper towels to wipe up spilled dye between switching colors so it doesnt transfer to other parts of my fabric. I work from lightest dye to darkest on each binded garmet. Also, if I noticed the dye was beading on the fabric and dripping off without absorbing, I just go slow and easy on the dye, and use a gloved finger to massage it in a bit so it will soak into the fabric then it would easily accept the dye when I add some more on. 4) I put all the projects in a tightly knotted plastic garbage bag and leave them in the shaded garage overnight. 5)The next day, I snip the rubber bands and use the garden hose to rinse out and wring out all of the garments. I suggest using running water from a hose or faucet instead of rinsing them in some sort of prefilled tub or basin to keep the white parts from soaking up leftover dye and being less vibrant. 6) I hang them out to dry fully for a few hours, then I machine wash them on delicate, cold water with an extra rinse and spin. After first initial washing, I just toss them in with the rest of the laundry (except whites of course) and I have had no issues yet. Hope this helps!

This will only die a few items so its not really a tie dye party

Love the variety of colors. Easy to mix colors and came with everything needed but the shirts. I would definitely buy it again. Bought them for my 8 year olds birthday party and had tons of dye left over. Goes a long way!

The best thing about this kit is that the bottles are pre-filled with the dye powder. Also, the bottles come with little caps so you can save leftover dye if you want to. This was a fun, easy for a range of ages and not as messy as youd think project for group of 15 or so people. Keep in mind, the dye needs to sit for 8 hours before the project is finished... so best for a sleepover type party if you want people to be able to take their projects home. If you care about dye staining hands, you might want to get better gloves, otherwise the gloves that come with the kit are hard to work with and kids will probably just take them off. The dye will wear off after a week and honestly was a non-issue for me. I will totally buy this again.

We tie-dyed shirts, masks, and scarves. There was plenty of dye to do many garments. The kit comes with plenty of rubber bands, 6 pair of gloves and a table covering. We rinsed our items and they look fantastic. The colors are really pretty too. We are very happy with how they came out. Things to know: wash your garments ahead of time and it is one and done. The dyes only last for 72 hours.

Bought this for my daughter’s sleepover and it was a big hit the shirts came out so cute. They give you examples and this kit is super easy to use.
