Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Super Big 12 Colors

This was so much fun! I got this to do at my birthday brunch, and it was a great idea. It was a lot of fun, and super easy. The quality of the product is great for the money, the gloves that it comes with help to prevent some mess. I wish the table cloth was a bit bigger, but we made it work. The colors are so bright and pretty! I also really like that it’s a ‘just add water’ system. We made about 10 shirts and had some left over. I will use this brand every time!

Worked as it should.

We had a lot of fun with this set over the summer. The colors are bright, each one comes with its own bottle, and a little bit goes a long way.The only downside is that there are a few colors less useful than others. Brown for one, hardly got used.This set is great though, it includes a sheet of basic ways to do different styles of tie dye. It also includes some rubber bands. We used this during a picnic, and ended up making quite a lot of stuff. We made 8 size small children's tee shirts, several pairs of socks, several children's tank tops, and two onesies.It's very messy, I'd recommend doing this outside only, making sure you wear the gloves provided, with a plastic tablecloth covering your work area. The dyes stain easily, my hands ended up quite colorful.When prong the dyed clothes through the wash, they should be washed and dried twice before going through the wash with other clothes to prevent staining.All in all, a really fun set, easy to use. I definitely plan on getting another one!

Buying this kit was a "no-brainer" as I was searching for a simple kit with many color options, and pretty cost effective. I'll add some tips that will help your colors pop, and stay sharp wash after wash.Get yourself some organic urea nitrogen, and soda ash for dye. Both can be found here on Amazon under the "Jacquard" brand. Dick Blick has both of these items for considerably less cost, but I wanted everything to arrive at once so I ordered everything from Amazon!Step 1: Add two cups of the soda ash to two gallons of warm water, and dissolve. Be careful with this step as the fumes can be quite caustic. WEAR GLOVES. The soda ash will severely dry out your hands, and its just an unpleasant experience. Add items you wish to Tie dye to the water, and soda ash mixture, let sit for around an hour, be sure that items are thoroughly "soaked."Step 2: since the dye is in 12, 4 ounce bottles, add only one half tablespoon of the urea organic nitrogen to the dye powder before filling with warm water, and shaking! Shake it up!! Shake it real good, y'all!Now, your dye bottles are filled, your items are soaked, and your knees are shaking because you are ready to dye! Wring out all excess water from your items, and choose your design. This kit has a paper showing different designs, but YouTube is a great place to look up ideas!Now, if you wear any size shirt greater than a Men's large, I recommend doing the "sunburst" design, as it takes considerably less dye to cover, and saturate. Smaller items will look much better tie dyed, such as socks and underwear. As you can see in my photos.Finally, you've dyed all the things! Use plastic bags or saran wrap to wrap them each individually, never place two dyed items together or the colors will bleed into one another.This kits specifies to wrap for 8 hours, but I waited around 18 hours before unwrapping.Rinse excess dye out with COLD water, and wash on delicate, with cold water! Dry however you wish! I hung mine up to dry.

The kit was fun and relatively straightforward. The suggested designs were helpful even though we ended up looking up more complicated ones online. We dunked the clothing in water and then wrung it out well enough before rubber banding them into desired designs. When it came to the actual application, it was messier than expected. We did it outside on plastic tarp but the liquid kind of squirts everywhere. I wouldn't recommend trying to do small/intricate design with these bottles alone. We rotated the clothing to try and saturate fully from all sides, but again, it got really messy. After we were done applying it looked like the underside would end up an ugly runny brown, and I was worried. But it definitely did not turn out that way! We let our shirts sit for 24 hours because that's how long it took the sweatshirts to become mostly dry, then rinsed them well and put them in the washer with just a teeny tiny bit of laundry soap on cold and delicate, large load because it recommends using excess water to wash. Everything turned out really great and vibrant and not brown at all!! However, we used every bit of all the bottles except for the brown one, and ended up with two crewneck sweatshirts, a short sleeve tshirt and two long sleeve tshirts (these two aren't pictured). If we hadn't done sweatshirts and long sleeve shirts we MAYBE could have made 8 tshirts total. The kit says you can do up to 36 projects, but unless you're tie-dyeing headbands and bandanas, that part is not true. Overall good product, though.

The perfect set for some summer fun! We've tried many brands and tulip seems to be the best value while maintaining bright colors for amateur crafters. Set comes with dye bottles, gloves, a small tarp and elastics. Good value and performance for the price. Directions are easy to follow for first timers! Colors are vibrant and bright. Beware though the bottles always leak a little once you add the water so be prepared with covering for floor/table before you add water!

We tie dyed many pieces with this kit. Several pairs of socks, two t shirts a few tank tops and pillow cases and two large pieces of fabric we plan to use for craft projects this winter! This was a fun project for a summer day
