Description

This Tie Dye Kit is a fantastic introduction to tie dye! You supply the shirts and everything else you need is here. Includes three pre-mixed colours of Procion MX dye; the undisputed king of tie dye.

A tie-dye kit is used to apply vibrant, permanent colours to natural fabrics (cotton, linen, rayon) to create custom, patterned designs. Use this kit for DIY fashion projects like colouring t-shirts, hoodies, and tote bags. Also used for home decor items such as pillowcases, socks, and bedding. Kits include dye bottles, rubber bands, and gloves for techniques like spirals or bullseyes.

Key Uses and Applications of a Tie Dye Kit:

• Customizing Clothing & Accessories: Transforming plain white or light-coloured apparel into unique, colourful items.
• Creating Home Decor: Dyeing fabrics for pillows, tapestries, or tablecloths.
• Upcycling/Revamping: Giving old or stained clothing a second life.
• Crafting Activities: Use for parties, school holidays, and, with options like Tie Dye Fun’s non-toxic kits, safe crafting for children.

How It Works:

• Preparation: Tie fabric with rubber bands to create patterns.
• Application: Apply the dyes via squeeze bottles to ensure adequate cover (purchased from Atelier Art Supplies).
• Setting: Leave the item to sit (sometimes in the sun or, in the case of Rit* Dye, the microwave) to fix the colour. Rinse and wash the work.
