Tie Dye Kits
Looking for a fun art project this summer? How about a tie-dye party for that upcoming birthday celebration? Tie-dye is easy to do, tons of fun, and extremely satisfying when you get your tie-dyed clothing item at the end. Plus, Oxlades has a range of easy-to-use and funky tie-dye kits, so finding these products is easy.
About Our Tie-Dye Kits
Most kits come with all the supplies you need for dying your fabrics. They include rubber gloves and bands, urea, soda ash, and instructions. Some people say string works better than rubber bands. The choice is up to you.
The dye kits typically come with easy-to-use squeeze bottles. You just need to add warm water (not hot) to activate them.
Some kits even come with an informative DVD rather than written instructions.
What You Need to Complete the Kit
Most kits come with all the dye and apparatus you need, so all you need to do is provide the fabric. You can dye bed covers, tablecloths, shirts, tights, scarves, cushion covers – you name it!
You can use old items around the house or purchase fabric especially. The colour comes out best with 100% cotton material, though 50% polyester and 50% cotton will work fine as well. The dyes only bond to natural fabrics. You can also use rayon or silk.
Step-By-Step Tips for Tie-Dying
The process of tie-dying is fairly straightforward. All you need is six basic steps:
- Wet the fabric you want to dye
- Tie knots in the fabric where you want to create spirals
- Soak the material in the soda ash
- Mix your dyes
- Apply the dyes and leave for 24 hours
- Rinse and dry your fabric, and your garment is ready to wear
Your kit will come with more exact instructions for the brand you’re using.
