Tulip Step Tie-Dye Kit 1 Color Blue, One Size

Product Information

If you can’t find 100% cotton shirts, you can use an 80/20 cotton/polyester blend, but the dye colors will not be as vibrant. Avoid 50/50 cotton/polyester blends because the dye will not react well, and the colors will come out very pale.

In most cases, I recommend tie-dyeing fabric that is slightly damp but not dripping wet. When the garment is wet, the dye will more easily saturate the material, leading to more even coverage. That said, you are welcome to experiment with applying dye to dry fabric. Applying dye to dry fabric will result in less uniform saturation and more white spots.Thank you for these easy-to-follow instructions! I am trying to figure out what we did "wrong" that caused our colors to become pale/pastel. PERSONALISED I Am ..

One of the keys to getting the cleanest, brightest colors is the washing-out process. Take your time here! Rinse completely in cool water, then wash with Synthrapol or another detergent in a hot water cycle. You may need to wash twice to remove all the excess dye. Prepare you work surface by putting garbage bags down. You can do this inside, but it’s messy enough that if you’re doing this with kids, you should just plan on doing it outside. Don’t work right on the ground though because your shirt will get dirty and mess up all your hard work. Then, make the soda ash solution. Add 1 cup of soda ash to 1 gallon of warm water. Stir to dissolve. Right before tie-dying, pre-soak your garments for 15 minutes. When time is up, squeeze out the excess solution so the fabric is damp but not dripping wet.
