TULIP Fabric Dye 37934 Fdy Lg Mermaid 5-Color 4Oz Kit, Detailed

I bought this kit at Hobby Lobby and I absolutely LOVE how it came out! I havent tie dyed anything since I was like 9 so I was nervous. I have a few tips if, like me, you havent done it in forever: * Do it outside if you can. It was too cold here so I ended up doing it in my bathtub but I lined the bottom of my tub with plastic wrap to prevent stains. Doing that worked perfectly. * When you fill the bottle, close the lid well, hold your finger over the cap tight, and shake it really well away from your face. I ended up with a few small dark flecks in my dye from not shaking it well enough but it doesnt bother me. * Once you dye your stuff, place them in individual zip loc bags and let them sit for a full day. * Rinse in cool water until the water runs clear. Then wash on warm (or cold) with only a little soap and the largest load size/most water possible. Dry as normal (I just did a medium heat dry cycle). Im happy with the results and plan to dye more stuff soon!

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

The colors do not match what I ordered they are just a mix of bright neon colors. Not the purple gray teal in the picture. But the kids were so excited! so we just used it although I wanted a different style for the blankets on there beds I guess the neon will be fine. And they had fun doing it so that’s what’s important!

Easy to use and fun

I bought this kit as one of my COVID-19 stay at home projects. Half the dye powder comes in the bottles and the other half is in packets. I used first half to dye the shirts pictured (4 adult tees, 2 adult tanks, and 2 kids’ tees) and will be giving the rest to my sister. I probably could have stretched it further but I applied generous amounts of dye to ensure the colors were vibrant (and they are!). As recommended by others I purchased a pound of soda ash separately and soaked the shirts in it for 20 minutes before dying. I also let the dye set overnight instead of the 6-8 hours instructed. My technique could use some work but I’m pretty happy with the results!

Set includes everything you need and when used on 100% cotton items (shirts, pillowcases) resulted in beautiful dark vivid colors. However the colors do not look like the pictures on the box, they were much much darker. Also, bottles are small, so the entire bottle is used on one item/shirt. You are given powder to make two bottles of each color.
