> 24 hourSuper simple tie dye kit. Came with enough dye for the 4 shirts we did and had about 6 or 7 extra bottles left over. Make sure to only fill the bottles you are using though because you are supposed to use them about a day after you mix the dye. Only problem we had was with the green dye. It wouldn’t mix with the water and had small orange specks in it. We tried to cover the orange with blue but I would recommend trying the color out on a napkin or something first. The blue tie dye shirt was damp when I colored it and the pink and blue was not. I did not see a big difference in the dispersion of the dye though. Definitely a good value for the price if you want a lot of colors.

> 24 hourWe used this and made 4 adult shirts and 4 kids shirts, with due left over! It just depends on how many people want to use one color, because we did sort of run out of colors in the middle of using them.... but then, we were also letting a 4, 6, and 7 year old use them so it was all good. This kit really has everything you need, EXCEPT the table cloth is kind of a joke. Its big enough to do one shirt at a time, but if you have multiple people dyeing at once, youll need to put something larger down. The sheet with directions on how to do certain techniques was great cause neither mom had done this before. Everyone loves how their shirts came out, and we definitely see the kids asking to do this again like.... every summer.

> 24 hourOur family used this kit to make some shirts. We made 4 shirts and still have many colors to use for future projects. I was amazed at how well the tie dye turned out! Just like the pictures included with the instructions. We washed the shirts according to the instructions, and the colors have remained vibrant and permanent over several washings. It’s a messy project, so I would recommend working on it outside. But it was super fun, we have great shirts, and we can’t wait to do more. Highly recommend!

> 24 hourWe liked that it had many color options, that you only needed to add water. We made a total of 4 shirts & had plenty of die left over to where we probably could have easily made 5 more shirts. Overall it was a great kit & will probably buy again!

> 24 hourFor only $14.00, this tie-dye kit is a must! Each color is in fairly small bottle, but the variety more than makes up for it. I was able to dye about 16 28” 100% cotton Tea towels using the entire kit. (Note that it’s short of the “30 projects” the box claims. Clearly, what they count as a single project must have been much smaller, maybe something like baby onesies. I would estimate this kit would make about 15+/- kids t-shirts, depending on size and how much dye gets wasted if drippings are not collected in buckets.) I let my towels sit for ~20 hours for maximum intensity (the instructions recommend 6-8 hours). They did fade a bit when washed, which is to be expected since no mordant is used, but the colors are still acceptably vibrant. My only criticism of the kit is that the pinks/reds/oranges (5 colors) are way too similar to each other and make the overall kit very red-heavy. Coral and Orange are nearly identical, as are Pink and Fuschia, which both look like diluted red Dye rather than nicely saturated pinks. Teal and Turquoise are also very similar, but the range of blues and greens is much more dynamic. The purples were fair and it definitely felt like there wasn’t enough yellow. Overall, this kit gets two thumbs up. It’s exceedingly easy to use for both children and adults. For the price, it was absolutely worth it!

> 24 hourPurchased for ice dyeing not tie dying and I was a little shocked to see how little powder was in the bottles! It doesn’t say anywhere how many ounces of dye you get but it’s not a lot. Due to that it’s not going to make as many shirts as the description says. It’s not bad for Childs parties and that sort of thing but beyond that it’s a better price/value overall to buy better quality dyes.

> 24 hourThis was SO easy to use! Read the directions as it applies best to cotton and silk and one other natural fabric. PREWASH your items that you are going to dye. We picked the swirl design for all 4 boys that were dying shirts. Seemed the easiest. It was SO easy to make/mix the dyes but be careful, aggressive shaking to mix caused some drips to fly out. I thought for sure these would fade a ton, but they are VERY concentrated!!!! Let your shirts sit and “marinate” in their color for 6-8 hours! All of the kids were happy with their shirts!!! If we do it again, I might get some backup dye. (We ran out of a few colors. Just depends on how liberally you apply) would definitely buy again or recommend.

> 24 hourWill buy this kit forever and eer and ever. INCREDIBLE. Only put water in 1/2 the colors for the first time tye dyeing. Was able to do 5 kid shirts, baby pants, baby tank, adult L shirt. I still have 1/2 the colors to use the next time we do it. I love that it comes in botles for easy use and easy clean up. will buy again and again.

> 24 hourWorked pretty well for a project we wanted to do with our labcoats. Started to fade with a few washes but that might have just been the chemicals from the lab who knows lol.
