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

I was able to dye 3 items. Fairly large items

Had a blast using this tie dye kit with boys ranging in ages from 4-8!! We were able to make 4 youth tee shirts, 4 bandanas, and 2 adult tank tops with dye leftover. A few recommendations: 1. Wear Rubber gloves 2. Buy bulk white bandanas to use up extra dye if you don’t want any to go to waste 3. Plan ahead and launder the items you will dye the day before 4. The instructions say to machine wash each item individually after letting the dye set. In the interest of avoiding 10 loads of laundry with only one item in each, I thoroughly (and I mean THOROUGHLY) washed and rung out each item in a utility sink with hot water. I didn’t stop rinsing until the water coming out of the shirts was almost completely clear. Then I washed all of the freshly tie dyed items together in one load and had no problems. I did wash them on their own a few more times before adding with regular laundry 5. Don’t oversaturate! 6. If working with kids, do it outside if possible All of us loved this kit and the kids can’t wait to get another one and tie dye again!!

We purchased this refill kit in addition to the kit that comes in the plastic box. We weren’t sure how much dye we would need to make 10 preschool sized tshirts and 9 adult sized tshirts. We needed both sets and had some dye left over. The colors are vibrant and I would definitely buy this again. (I wish they just sold little envelopes of the dye so you could reuse your bottles instead of gaming to purchase more bottles).

This was soooo much fun, totally easy to set up, kids and adults had fun making it, wasnt even that messy either!!! And they all came out AMAZING and we have plenty of dye left for many more creations!!! Next time maybe a whole outfit?!?!

This kit was so easy to use! I got it for Easter to get creative in quarantine with the family. No one else had tie dyed before this except for myself. It was so fun to see everyone get into it and this kit made it super easy to facilitate a low stress & low mess activity! All the colors included are gorgeous—we were so impressed with the color selection and vibrancy. I wanted to note that after rinsing the items on day 2, we laid the shirts out to dry in the hot Texas sun (unintentionally because it took minutes lol). Then, we did an extra step of heat setting the items by ironing them before sticking everything in the wash. I think it really helped set the dye prior to first wash & resist color bleed. Note, Blue based colors seems to have the most bleed so be sure to rinse them extra well! We loved it so much, we may make this a family tradition every Easter!

I didn’t have the first clue about tie dye, so I ordered this kit. I was a little apprehensive about making sure I got it right and trying not to destroy my house in the process. This kit was at a great price point and seemed to be easy. So I decided to give it a shot. I was right! I’m incredibly impressed. The kit includes powdered dye that’s in bottles; just add water and shake. It also has a plastic table covering (note: it’s very small, and you may want to plan on a bigger one of your own for your table. It didn’t quite cover my modestly sized kitchen island.), gloves (but we opted to use our own better-fitting ones), and lots of rubber bands! I learned that we needed items with mostly natural fibers (at least 50% cotton, but more cotton = better), so I ordered cotton t-shirts, cotton hair scrunchies and cotton bath towels. The kit came with great step-by-step instructions, which included directions for folding different patterns. Perfect for a newbie! We also supplied our own plastic bags for letting the items stay damp and soak in their dye. I only have a couple of minor complaints. The table cloth was so small that it almost wasn’t worth it. Definitely plan on a larger one if you’re not dyeing alone. Some of the powder dust was on the outside of the bottles, but we noticed it and avoided a mess. Also, the kit claims it’s enough for 30 projects, but I’d say that’s a bit of an overstatement. We did four shirts and 10 scrunchies. I wouldn’t consider the scrunchies a whole project. I thought the towels would be perfect to count as the remaining projects, but we ended up not having quite enough dye to finish out our towels. We probably should’ve had an entirely separate kit for three towels. All in all, my kids and I had an absolute blast creating our items. I already want to order the kit again and find more things to tie dye!

More!

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.)

Got for a gift and they seem to like it a lot.

I used this kit to tie dye 8 items with my sister and our kids. First time tie dyers. It was fun! It was also hilarious because we are 2 women who cannot relax and tend to overthink everything. Can’t over think tie dyeing. Can’t really even anticipate how it will turn out. So, after some unnecessary stressing and surprisingly little mess every single one of our items came out beautiful. It was such a good memory making experience! Going to do it again but will stress less and enjoy the prices more. I do have a tip for you, though: make sure you wash your items first and do not use fabric softener before you tie dye. Also: use less dye than you think you need. We used all of it. Every single drop from all 15 bottles and it was too much. I realize now that this kit would have tie dyed at least 19 items had we not been so heavy handed with the dye.
