    Nice colors, and good kit with instructions. Bought this for dying onesies at an outdoor baby shower, and it was a hit!

    Every year we do a family tie dye day. We always have great success with Tulip dyes and the shirts hold their color for years. My granddaughters loved the Mermaid color selection!

    Bought these to tie dye some stuff for work. What an easy process, and I was pleased to realize theres enough in there for a second batch! They include extra dye packets. The colors all look really nice together, and if they mingle it doesnt create any browns. The instructions are easy to follow and I feel pretty good about what I produced, despite the fact that I havent done tie dye in over a decade. I dyed 5 shifts, 6 pairs of underoos, and 5 canvas bags with the first half of the kit.

    The only thing I would have a complaint about are the gloves that they give you don’t really prevent you from getting die under hand so use a different type of gloves. Other than that it worked great and I got a fun sweatshirt out of it

    I thought these colors meshed really well together. For some reason the lavender looks gray in my pictures but in person, it is just a very pale lavender with no gray undertones. These colors worked because they didn’t blend and get muddy like the other Tulip kits I’ve purchased. I’m not sure if that’s the colors or just me being careful not to oversaturate or mix colors. The Aegean Sea color that looks gray in the stock photos is actually a lovely sea green color. It’s like if army green and teal got together and had a baby, that baby would be named Aegean Sea. I am pleased with this kit. I only left the dye on for one hour because I heard that it makes the colors look more pastel. And I wanted a softer tie dye. Honestly I can’t tell a difference in that strategy. The turquoise and purple are as vibrant as the turquoise and purple I’ve left on for 12-24 hours in previous tie dye projects. I’ve been tie dying shirts all summer going through this craze with my kids, and one recommendation I have is that you treat your fabric with soda ash prior to dying. Buy a pound of it on Amazon for about $8, put the whole pound in a bucket of mop bucket water, and let your shirts sit in it for 30 minutes. Take shirts out and wring them out completely, then dye fabric immediately while damp. I swear the soda ash makes the colors so much more vibrant! My first tie dye project I did not do the soda ash and my colors were very dull. Almost like a tie dye shirt you’ve owned for 15 years. Just kinda bland. The soda ash really works and I’m honestly not sure how but it makes a noticeable difference. I also have been letting the shirts soak in vinegar after dying and rinsing, but vinegar doesn’t do anything to make the colors set or stay. It’s a wasted step. My shirts come out vibrant and stay that way for many washings regardless if I “set” the final product with vinegar or not! Have fun! Swirl pattern is the easiest. Crumple is cool but you have to be careful to not really mix the colors as you’re applying the dye all over. I strategically placed the dye all over but was careful not to overlap colors. Overlapping a bit is ok but too much makes the final product a big ole blob of mixed colors. Sounds cool except the colors will not be the colors you bought. Fuchsia and green will somehow make a dark muddy violet. Turquoise and purple will make a murky navy violet. It’s best to try the swirl or some sort of stripe pattern where the colors stay separate.

    Waited a full 24 hours before rinsing and washing and nearly all of the color faded or washed out completely. Followed the directions exactly. Dont waste your money.

    My little sister wanted tie dye clothes for her birthday and was bummed we couldnt go anywhere. We had a tie dye party at home and it worked great! We just used the powders to ice dye and everything turned out great! The colors are vibrant and the pattern looks great too. Ice dyeing definitely uses more dye per item, but none of us needed a ton of stuff so it was great for our purposes. We soaked our items in a dye fixative after which I think helped with keeping the colors bright & defined.
