Instructions
Prewash fabric and prepare tie dye solutions
Before you get started on this tie-dye sweatsuit, prewash the clothes that you’ll be dyeing and leave them damp. Have your kiddo pick out which colors they’d like to use for this project and prepare the tie dye solutions. The Tulip Desert One-Step Tie-Dye Kit is full of gorgeous jewel tones and awesome earthy tones that are great for autumn!
Fold and bind sweatsuit
Fold and bind the kids’ sweatsuit using your desired technique. For this project, Craft Box Girls used the simple and kid-friendly crumple technique! Place the sweatsuit onto a protected work surface or onto a wire rack + sheet tray combo to collect any excess dye.
Apply dyes to the sweatsuit
Now it’s time to have fun with tie dye! Apply the dyes to the sweatsuit and use gloved hands to work the dyes into the fabric, checking to ensure the dyes have penetrated the folds. Wrap the kids’ tie-dye sweatsuit with plastic and let set for 6-8 hours.
Completed kids’ tie-dye sweatsuit
Rinse, wash in cool water with a little laundry detergent, dry, and reveal! Your kids’ tie-dye sweatsuit is now ready for all of their autumn adventures.
