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

Was able to make 10 shirts from infant onesie to XL with the family. Made for a great activity.

Super 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.

I have been using these tulip dye kits for years and never has this ever happened. When i opened the box to put the tie dye bottles away i touched the turquoise bottle and it was clearly not closed properly bc every bottle i touched had powder all over it outside bottles. If i hadn’t thrown out the box i would have for sure requested a replacement but it was too late. I’m sure this isn’t the sellers fault but be careful opening this product as the box it comes in does not seem to protect the bottles of dye. Plus i am pretty certain the turquoise color will not be a vibrant as I want bc half the dye is on my hands and the other bottles. Every-time I touched another bottle i just got more blue on my hands. This will be on them for a few day

I loved this the dye kit and we had lots of fun using it! It was definitely easy to use, but some of the bottles would leak when you would shake it up to mix, which wasnt fun, luckily we shook them all in the sink and I was ready for it so I could try to direct the splatter. Not a deal breaker, but I wasnt in love with that part. It came with everything we needed including directions on how to tie the shirts for each effect. We tie dyed everything we could get our hands on, even some white turtle neck style face masks for the kids to make their masks personalized and fun :) the colors did fade more than I expected on the first wash, but not nearly as bad as rit dye or anything. They are still dark and bright! ( To be fair Im comparing to a brand I previously used, I cant remember the name, that didnt fade at ALL after washing, even after a few years) so this isnt the BEST out there, but its a very close runner up, price was great, and we had a super fun family day doing this together, that ran into the next day when we got to unwrap them and see our creations. I accidentally bought two, and instead of returning the second, Im keeping it for a rainy day with the kids :) I do highly recommend.

For 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!

I got this for my daughter for Christmas, as we had done tie dye it together in the past and had a great time, but with this being a new kit from a different manufacturer, I was apprehensive. So when she and her friends had a little tie dye party I was interested in how everyones works of art would come out. Well, EVERYONE was proud of them. My daughters tops almost looked like something that you could sell at a beachside souvenir shop. Keep in mind these kids are 7-8 years old so they arent experts in tie-dye, but everything came out great. The bottles are easy to use and it comes equipped with most of the stuff you need (rubber bands, gloves, etc.)

The colors turned out fabulous! One of the best kits I’ve used for tie dying. Easy to use and I loved how bright the colors were after washing the shirts. We made 6 shirts and there was plenty of color left to do more shirts. We colored 3 adult shirts, 1 teen shirt, and 2 little kid sized shirts. It was fun for all. I highly recommend this kit. Easy for all ages. We didn’t like the gloves as they were not as thick as we’d like, but it mostly kept the color off our hands. So overall it was a fabulous set. I included a picture of the finished shirts to show the bright colors.

Our 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!

I bought a set of these after watching a youtube video. I had done some tie dying in my youth but mainly one color using standard dye and a bucket. The Tulip dyes are super easy to use, and the kit includes gloves and rubber bands. The dye is already in the squirt bottles ready to be activated with water, just shake and squirt. I used the classic twist method for 3 shirts (grab in the middle and twist into a tight puck, then rubber band into pie-like sections). It was very easy to direct the dye into the sections. Once the puck was completed, I turned over and repeated on the back side, then put them in plastic bags to proof for 24 hours. A quick rinse, wash, and they turned out great. The colors are very vibrant and looked amazing when they were done. I have washed the shirts 4-5 times and they have held up pretty well, faded only slightly. The only thing I might improve on this kit is to include extra dye. There is really only enough color in one bottle to do one shirt (I used 3 colors per shirt and used the entire bottle of each color on that one shirt, front and back). In other words, you can generally only use a particular color on one shirt if you are really looking to get good color and penetration. Fun kit for the kids, just make sure to protect surfaces as this can stain.

If I could give this product 4.5 stars, I would. It was so close to perfect. It had a great variety of colors to choose from, and each bottle--though it seemed to have very little powder in it--actually made a lot of dye. (You can see in my third picture that we had quite a lot of dye left in the handful of bottles that we used after covering three adult small shirts; there are a lot of colors we didnt use at all yet.) There were five pairs of big, plastic-y gloves to keep hands clean (note what happens if you figure your kids are doing the project so you dont need gloves), tons and tons of rubber bands...and a tiny little plastic table cover. That was the single drawback. Who on earth thinks that five people can fit around such a tiny piece of plastic?! Youll note in the first photo that it doesnt even quite fit across my table. Thankfully, I was only doing this project with three kids, so we could crowd around and it worked (and my table is old so I wasnt concerned about the parts that werent fully covered), but I think even four people would really be too tight once you spread out the bottles and give everyone a little space to work. If you buy this for more than three people to use at once, make sure you buy a bigger plastic tablecloth. For those who wonder, we did the top two tshirts using the ice method and the bottom one was the spider pattern. The Tulip website offers tutorials on lots of different styles (beyond the basics that are included in the instructions).
