TBC The Best Crafts 8 Colours Tie Dye Kit. 65 Pieces Super

Gloves aren’t up to much, unless you have sausage fingers. But the dyes are good, nice and bright.
Helpful pattern suggestions in the book.
Daughter made herself lots of t shirts, all individual and admired.

This has to be one of my favourite things I have bought. They loved it so much they were raiding their wardrobes to dye stuff even socks! We had a “dye-off” and my kids had their friends round to tye-dye their t-shirts! Lots of fun, lots of great memories and lots of great photos too!! Worth every penny!

Fiddly but once done is a great product to let the kids do tye & dye they liked it and t shirts turned out good they were proud of Thier end product.thank you

I got this for my daughter and I was so surprised when we opened it! There were so many colours and everything you need to do a few uses. I would definitely buy this agai

A half term activity with the kids.
The pack made enough dye to colour 3 hoodies, 3 t-shirts and 2 bags, with a bit left over. The instructions aren’t great so I googled a lot. We wrapped in cling film and left for 24hrs before removing bands and rinsing out. Rinsing takes ages! I’m pleased with the outcome, remains to be seen how well the colour holds and if it runs but a o far so good and the kids are really proud of their creations.

I bought 2 of these kits so I could do some clothes with my sisters kids and my sister-in-law’s kids. I didn’t realise there was extra dye in them, so I now have more than I could ever want! Simple to use (just add water to the bottles) and loads of dye. With one incomplete lot of dye (we didn’t use every colour) we did 4 kids tshirts and and 3 large adult tshirts. My only criticism would be that some of the diagrams of the folds weren’t the clearest, but they were good enough that we worked a few out and were pleased with the results. Plus there’s an abundance of videos online showing other patterns so you don’t need to rely on the instruction sheet. The colours did fade a bit at first, and they aren’t as vibrant as the shop bought tie-dye I have, but I wear mine constantly and they still look great. They’re just more pastel shades now, but they don’t seem to be fading any more.

**Edit**
Decided to update this because I recently visited my sister and saw my nieces t-shirt that we did at the same time as mine. My sister hand washes theirs, and they still look really vibrant. So if like me you want to be lazy and just throw them in the machine then expect fading, if you want to look after them and hand wash them the colours will stay much brighter.

Really good kit, and Really impressed with how it turned out.
The instructions mentions doing either the dry or wet method, but doesn’t actually explain what the difference is. This was easily solved with a quick google.
I did the dry method, meaning the colours come out more vibrant.
Other than that the instructions were great, and includes instructions on different patterns.
Plenty of solution once the dye is mixed.
Would definitely recommend & buy agai

I bought this kit as I had a top ruined by colour run I thought could be rescued by tie dye. It was, and I’ve dyed everything in sight too! This was my first time tie dyeing anything, at the grand age of 38.

I used clear plastic bin bags as a work surface and to tie the designs into to set overnight, which kept things mess free. The bottles were prone to splashing a little when you pull the cap off but after the first time I was more careful.

I used the dye as described, mixed with water in the bottles, and watered down for lighter shades. I also played around with ice and snow dyeing with the refill powders and love the results.

The instructions were not that useful, beyond showing a couple of ties. I needed to look online to see how best to apply dye for different patterns. I also learned way more about folding techniques and alternative dyeing techniques with a Google search.

To wash, I rinsed items in warm water as best I could then ran through a quick wash in the machine at 30 on their own. Some I ran through more than once to be on the safe side. I used mostly cotton but experimented with other fabrics – I think people complaining about the dye not holding may not have used cotton, as it does affect different fabrics differently. Even different weights of cotton took the dye differently.

I’ve ended up refreshing a lot of old white tshirts that had yellowed, and with some bright beachwear made with new items. Some things I dyed because I get white grubby in minutes so never wore them, and others were too see through so dyeing them made them more wearable.

I’m amazed at the variety of colour schemes, depth of colour and patterns achieved. I’ve even used one technique on a shirt, washed and dried it, then retreated it with another technique. Some things are classic hippy, some are 90s grunge, and some are much more modern like the ice dye in the shops right now.

My only criticisms would be that I’d love to buy refill sachets on their own, and that the instructions are very limited. As long as you use 100% cotton and do a little reading first though you shouldn’t be disappointed.
