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

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.

Awesome product for the price

This is a GR8 beginner kit, until youre ready to invest hundreds of $$ in large quantities of dyes and all the goodies that youll need, and you dont have to use every bottle at one time. The plastic table cloth and Lots rubber bands came in very handy, and while I have my own rubber gloves that fit better, I used the ones enclosed. I learned that you should check the gloves for holes before starting. I got my white cotton clothes And got in the mood to kreate. I started off by adding water to 5 different color bottles and by overlapping some of the colors while I was applying them, I was able to get some other shades. As per the instructions, you wrap the wet, dyed items in plastic for several hours, so I used part of the plastic table cloth and that worked very well. Using only those 5 bottles, I dyed 3 pair of thick tiny infant socks, a short sleeve onesie for a 1 year old, a short sleeve t~shirt for a 4 year old (on the thin side) and a t~shirt for an 8 year old (on the thick side) and everything was well saturated, as it should be. I kind of wish Id taken a look at some videos on YouTube on tie~dye techniques, which I will most likely do next time, but I also figured some things out After I took the rubber bands off, like use the rubber banded areas as the line to change colors. In any case, as an 8 year old little girl trapped in the body of a 57 year old woman, I had a lot of fun (and so did Karlo, who was keeper of the box).

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!

I have ordered this twice now and the kids keep asking to make more tie dye. Its a great gift and fun project to do at a birthday party. The color selection is great and the colors are very vibrant. I highly recommend it. Kids of all ages enjoyed it...the adults too! It even comes with instructions to do certain patterns. Will be ordering again.

Box product comes in is not very sturdy, but it is what I would expect and that is not the problem. Amazon shipped it in an envelope vice a box, and the product box became quite damaged in shipping. Again, not the fault of the manufacturer, but of Amazon. I would expect more from them. And my granddaughter has not used this yet, but it looks of good quality for the price. I think she will enjoy it.

This is the second Tulip kit I have purchased through Amazon. I was so impressed with the first one. The first one had less colors, but more dye of each color. This set had 18 colors, but the amount of each color was less. If you want to do tie dyed shirt for a party, then either one of these kits will do. They both have everything you need. The gloves, the rubber bands, etc. All you have to do is bring the shirt (or other item you want to dye) and add water to the bottles. We all made shirts and they turns out GREAT! Really. This is worth the price. I know sometimes they go on sale, but even paying $20 was totally worth it. I highly recommend. If I ever want to do anymore tie dying in the future, Tulip has my business.

Ive used a lot of different kits this is the hands down best the colors are so vibrant and they stay ..I love it
