Tie-Dye Kit for T-Shirts, 12 Pastel Colours

Tie-dye kit with 12 pastel colours — soft shades instead of neon

Tie-dye doesn't have to be loud: the Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Pastel Party from America's favourite tie-dye brand brings 12 soft pastel shades to your textiles — blush, salmon, coral, butterscotch, lemon, avocado, mint, sky, periwinkle, lavender, lilac and orchid. Perfect for the trending soft pastel look.

Thanks to the One-Step formula there is no presoaking in soda ash — just add water to the squeeze bottles, shake and start dyeing.

What's included (70 pieces):

• 12 squeeze bottles with One-Step pastel dye
• 16 protective gloves
• 40 rubber bands for spirals, stripes and circles
• Project guide with ideas

Enough for up to 36 projects — the big kit for groups: birthday parties, hen dos, school camps or summer festivals. With 16 gloves, lots of people can join in at the same time.

How it works

• Prewash fabric (no fabric softener) and work damp
• Fill the bottle with water and shake well
• Tie the fabric and apply the colours
• Let set for 6–8 hours, rinse, done

Popular techniques

• Spiral: the classic — twist the fabric from the centre and apply colours in wedges.
• Crumple: scrunch it up, add rubber bands, go — perfect for beginners.
• Pastel rainbow: apply several pastel shades in bands — soft and harmonious.
• Ombre: let one shade fade from intense to light.

Tips and tricks for perfect results

• Prewashing is a must: wash without softener — finishing agents block the dye.
• Choose a white base: pastel shades look best on pure white fabric.
• Work damp: slightly damp fabric absorbs the dye more evenly.
• Setting time: at least 6–8 hours, ideally overnight.
• Rinsing: rinse with cold water until clear, wash separately the first time.
• Mix freely: pastel shades never clash — even wild combinations look harmonious.

Suitable fabrics

Best results on natural fibres like 100% cotton, rayon and silk. Polyester won't take the dye. Once set, the colours are permanently machine washable.
