How to Use

1. Protect work surface with plastic tablecloth. 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 items.

FAQ & Pro Tips

Note: Do not add water to dye until you are prepared to apply it. Apply dye within 24 hours after mixing. Dye left unapplied after 24 hours will begin to lose concentration and will result in noticeably weaker color intensity.

Cover work surface with disposable plastic tablecloth or plastic trash bag to prevent dye from staining work surface.

Make sure excess dye dust is removed from work area, as it is invisible until it reacts with water.

Create new colors by blending dyes.

Cover dyed fabric with plastic to keep it from drying out; fabric that dries before dye is finished setting can result in weaker color concentration and less intensity.

Precautionary note: Always wear gloves when working with dyes. Dry dye powder can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Avoid inhaling dye dust over an extended period of time. Use in well-ventilated area.

Supervise children making tie-dye projects.

Caution: May irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Wear rubber gloves and safety glasses. Keep out of reach of children. First Aid Treatment: Contains organic dye and sodium bicarbonate. If swallowed, contact a poison control center or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes. If on skin, rinse well with water.

Shibori Tie-Dye Technique

Shibori Tie-Dye Technique

More intricate and detailed than modern tie dye, Shibori is a Japanese technique that uses string and other folding methods. Steps Step 1 Lay your damp shirt out flat on your work surface. Accordion fold the fabric from the bottom edge up to the top of the shirt in even folds. Starting on one end of the folded shirt, accordion fold it again in the other direction until you reach the other end. Wrap a rubber band tightly around the folded fabric in each direction, crisscrossing the rubber bands. This will hold your folded fabric securely in place. Step 2 Wearing the plastic gloves from your kit, place your project on a wire rack if using. Shibori traditionally uses indigo-colored dye, so mix up your indigo/dark blue dye and apply it to all of the exposed areas of fabric on each side. Step 3 Place your dyed project into a sealable plastic bag or wrap in plastic wrap to keep it damp while the dye completely processes. This will take 6 to 8 hours or overnight if you want to give it some extra time. Step 4: Once your dye has fully processed, carefully cut away the rubber bands and check out your shibori tie dye! Rinse, wash and dry according to your instruction guide.

Crumple Tie-Dye Technique

Crumple Tie-Dye Technique

No twisting, folding or pleating needed for this super easy tie-dye technique; just straight up scrunching! Steps Step 1: Cover your work area with a disposable plastic surface cover and you're ready to get started on the crumple tie-dye technique! Step 2: Lay your damp all-natural fabric out on the covered work surface. Scrunch the fabric into a crumpled mound. You can make the fabric loosely crumpled or really squish it all together for tighter, more defined crumples. Step 3: If you want to, you can secure your crumpled fabric with rubber bands before tie dyeing. But you don't have to. This will help hold those crumples together more tightly if you are trying to achieve a super defined crumple tie-dye pattern. Step 4: Mix your Tulip One-Step Dyes according to the packaging instructions, then apply to your cumpled fabric. You can apply one dye color or multiple dye colors - there's no wrong way to do it! Tip: If you are applying several dye colors, it's okay to allow the dyes to mix on the damp fabric, just make sure they're colors that blend nicely together (example: red + blue = purple). Some colors will turn a brownish color if they mix, so if you're unsure, try blending them together on scrap fabric first. Don't forget to flip your scrunched fabric over and apply dye to the backside as well. Place it in a sealed bag or cover with plastic to keep damp while the dye sets, then launder according to instructions.

Kaleidoscope Ice Tie-Dye Technique

Kaleidoscope Ice Tie-Dye Technique

Remember the fun colors and shapes from your childhood kaleidoscope? Now create them on a shirt using powdered dye and ice! Steps Step 1: Fold damp shirt in half lengthwise and press flat on tabletop. Step 2: Pinch shirt where you would like the center of your first spiral to be, then twist fabric a few times to create a small spiral. Step 3: Maintaining first spiral, pinch another section of shirt and twist several times to create a second spiral. Step 4: Crumple the remaining fabric towards the spirals. Step 5: Bind the shirt with rubber bands to hold secure. Step 6: Make a paper ring to fit around bound shirt. This will help keep the ice in place when dyeing. Step 7: Place ice on top of bound shirt. Step 8: Instead of adding water to dye bottles to mix, squeeze dye powder of a few colors on top of ice. Step 9: Let ice melt and remove paper ring. Step 10: Flip shirt over and repeat process on the backside with additional dye powders. Step 11: Once the backside has been dyed, cut off the rubber bands, then launder according to instructions.
