Kids love tie-dying shirts each summer. I used the Tulip® Block Party One-Step Tie-Dye® Kit with the kids to make these shirts. Stocked with 8 must-have shades of One-Step Dye (128 ounces) in a bright rainbow palette: 8 (16-oz.) XL dye bottles (yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, turquoise, and green), plus gloves, rubber bands, and a project guide. This kit is ready to add bold color to your wardrobe –- with vibrant tie-dye looks you can mix and match. My friends also recommend using the Ultimate Summer Bundle.
You Will Need:
Plastic Tablecloth and Paper Towels
Tulip® Block Party One-Step Tie-Dye® Kit or Ultimate Summer Bundle
White Cotton T-Shirts
Rubber Gloves
What to Do:
1. Protect work surface with a plastic tablecloth or trash bags. Cover with a layer of paper towels.
2. Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheet.
3. Choose desired technique. If using wet technique, use directly from washer. If using dry technique, first dry fabric in dryer.
4. Wearing rubber gloves, add water to dye bottle, filling to line. Replace cap tightly. Shake until dye is dissolved. Use full-strength for intense colors. For a lighter shade of color, add more water using extra bottle if needed.
5. Apply dye on fabric, checking to make sure dye has penetrated into creases and folds. Do not over-saturate fabric. If dye colors are applied too close together, the colors may become muddy. Check backside of fabric item to make sure dye has penetrated to backside. If not, carefully flip fabric item over and add dye.
6. Cover dyed fabric with plastic wrap to keep damp. Let set 6-8 hours or longer for most intense colors. Fully rinse dyed fabric in warm water until all extra dye is removed and water runs clear — removing rubber bands if used.
7. Fill washer to large load setting with hottest water suitable for the fabric and a small amount of laundry soap. Wash and dry separately.
8. Wash separately the first few washes. Do not allow dyed fabric to rest wet on other clothing.
