> 3 dayThis was such a fun little project for my 4 year old and I. I helped her with the rubber bands but she was able to do the rest. You may want to get your own rubber gloves though. The ones provided are one size fits all and were huge for both my kido and I.

Greater than one weekI bought this for the quick use rather than waiting a day or letting it soak in vinegar as with other sets. I was skeptical, but happily surprised. We did 4 kids shirts and couldve done more items, but just didnt have more that we wanted to do. Buy extra rubber bands if youre doing quite a bit of items. Theres not that many and also you cant reuse all of them if you need to cut them (especially if youve put them on super tight.) It comes with a little guide about rubber band styles and they worked pretty well. The bottles were easy to use and squeeze even for the 3 year old. We did realize on the first one that we hadnt inspected it close enough and some of the wrapped up areas didnt get dye. Shirt still cmae out cute, but it didnt quite highlight the rubber banded areas the way we wanted. WE were less conservative with the color on the other shirts and they came out great. Id say the only hard part of doing multiple items on the same day is after microwaving they need to sit in the closed container ( you get two) for about 15 minutes. Just keep this in mind for planning purposes if youre planning on doing this as a group or have little ones with short attention spans. I think you could save the dye and use it again the next day, maybe even a few days later, but Im not quite sure how long it would last as we didnt try to save it and use it again. Id definitely buy this again.

> 3 dayTie dye made easy with beautiful results. My only complaint is that the tray that holds the tie dyed item for microwaving is rather small - this makes it hard to put the dyed item in there without overlapping parts of it, which caused some of the dyes to bleed into areas that werent supposed to be that color. Overall though, this was still a lot easier and faster than other tie dye methods used. For kids who want a fun project and who arent expecting for perfect results, this was great.

> 3 daySo easy to use. My four year old daughter loved making shirts and had no problem doing it with minimal assistance. Also great that the containers are reusable.

> 3 dayLots of dyes. Great colors. The grandkids loved it and had a mot of fun. We made 4 size small youth t-shirts (for 9 and 8 year olds) and have plenty left over to make more. Loved the microwave aspect which really sped the process up. The bottles leak though so be careful. Otherwise just great!!

> 3 dayTo be honest I almost gave this kit 2 stars but I gave it 3 because in the end it did Work to dye the clothes. It makes a mess so be prepared for this to take hours to do if you count clean up time not 30 min or so. Also if you want yellow to show at all do not mix it with Blue or green or you’ll be lucky if any yellow comes out. The blue and green are very strong and even 1 drop spreads everywhere. Even when washing the clothes out you have to be careful not to get any of those colors on the yellow or it will ruin it. Also be careful when microwaving. One of our items turned brown even though it was only in the microwave for 2 minutes. Overall it was worked but was such a hassle and a mess to use and the clothes do not come out at all like you hope so.

> 3 dayI read other peoples comments before buying and here is what worked for me: 1) Reading is fundamental. Read the directions before you begin. 2) Soak your white, 100% cotton only garments for 2 minutes BEFORE dyeing. Squeeze out excess water after 2 minutes. 3) I used small, hair braiding rubber bands instead of the rubber bands that came in the kit. 4) I used my own nitrile gloves instead of the garbage ones that came in the kit because I wanted to keep my hands sans dye. 5) Check the wattage on YOUR microwave before determining the appropriate cook time. I had no browning of my garments because I chose the time that suited my microwave oven. Hint: theres a chart in the directions. 6) Allow your garments to fully dry after microwaving before washing or wearing. 7) I prepared everything in my stainless steel, kitchen sink for easy clean up. 8) Be careful shaking the bottles to mix the powder dye and water. The kids are garbage. I avoided mess by keeping a finger firmly on the lid as I gently shook it. Enjoy! This is a great, easy-to-use kit if you read the directions and use a little common sense.
