Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Kaleidoscope, 12 Colors Tie Dye

I love artistic projects and I think this item is going to be a lot of fun. I also discovered that even without tie-dying T-shirts look nice. You can spray over your hand written or drawn design in various shades and it works great. These are not sprays so the items would have to be transferred to a spray bottle, many of which are refillable. With this kit, you have to follow the step by step instructions to use properly and have the tie-dyed items come out the way you want. Also Id advise a protective sheet or one of those throws work men use to protect household items.

The kit itself was easy to use and worked well. However I received it with the bottom of the box ripped partially open and when we opened it up to do the tie dye it was missing the instruction booklet AND the plastic drop/table cloth - 2 very important items!! Really annoying to not have instructions when it was our first time using this kit. And also really annoying to not have the plastic table cloth to protect the table from the dye as tie dying is a VERY MESSY process. We proceeded anyway cause we had everything ready to go and I didn’t want to let my kids down by scraping it due to missing items. I had to use cut up trash bags as a drop cloth. Ugh.

We used this kit to tie dye at my daughters 5th bday party. We did about 8 kids shirts and 10 adults. We had enough left for probably 2 more shirts. The dye is really vibrant and was easy to use.

This dye works great! The directions say to use it within the first 45 minutes of mixing the powder with water. But so much stuff happened as soon as I mixed it and I didnt get to use it for two hours. Also, I did these all at night in the dark and they turned out great lol I love that the powder is already in the bottle cause I always make a mess when I have to do it myself.

i loved this tie dye kit!! it helped me pass time during quarantine. i was able to use it a few different times. you get a ton in this kit for what you pay for. i will purchase this brand again whenever i want to tie dye more!

Came super fast was easy to use and the colors came out beautifully

Once you mix a color you MUST use it within 45 minutes or it loses its potency. You cannot save for another day / project. Also, SUPER BIG is misleading...the amount of clothing/ items you can dye is really dependent on the size. If you are doing size large/ XL or bigger it only does 2-5 shirts OR LESS (again dependent on amount of colors and design you want - the more colors and the bigger the design the less items you will be able to do). Plus you are stuck with colors you really dont need or want and are wasted. I did one shirt size 3X with 6 colors and did not have enough to do a second and now am stuck with brown, black, red, lime, yellow and green colors that I really cant use. This kit would be good for a kids play date or party. If you are planning on experimenting or doing a lot of dyeing on different projects you would be better off getting the individual jars of powder and measuring & mixing as needed.

After reading some of the reviews who said their projects washed out right away, I decided to presoak mine in soda ash even though it says you don’t need to. So far our colors are super bright and have not faded! I would have given 5 stars, but the bottles for the dye are very cheap and tend to leak. They also seem to have powder residue on the outside so as soon as a drop of water touches the outside you have dye on your counter. Be diligent and keep everything on old towels or outside and you should be ok. Also the gloves are massive and kept falling off my average adult sized hands. These gloves are definitely made for very large men. If you have your own gloves you’ll be okay (or monsterous hands!)

Have bought this brand before in a box which worked great. For some reason this one rolled off the clothing and didnt seep in very well. I will stick with the box going forward.

My set was missing yellow, I had to go buy a separate kit to make a full rainbow. Bottles are pretty small, I used about a third and then filled it up with water again to stretch the dye out. Make sure you let it set for at least 24 hours. Fades a bit every wash, but good party entertainment etc
