Tie-dye kit with 5 colours — the classic to get started

The Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit Rainbow from America's favourite tie-dye brand brings the classic home: 5 squeeze bottles in vibrant rainbow shades — yellow, red, violet, blue and green. Thanks to the One-Step formula there is no presoaking in soda ash — just add water, shake and start dyeing.

What's included (59 pieces):

  • 5 squeeze bottles with One-Step dye (45.8 g of dye in total)
  • Protective gloves
  • 40 rubber bands for spirals, stripes and circles
  • Guide with techniques and project ideas

Enough for up to 30 projects — from t-shirts and socks to pillowcases. Perfect for birthday parties, school camps and creative family afternoons.

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 tie-dye 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.
  • Bullseye: concentric circles for a hypnotic look.
  • Stripes: fold the fabric and apply the colours in bands.

Tips and tricks for perfect results

  • Prewashing is a must: wash without softener — finishing agents block the dye.
  • Work damp: slightly damp fabric absorbs the dye more evenly.
  • Less is more: colours look darker when wet and lighten after washing.
  • Setting time: at least 6–8 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Rinsing: rinse with cold water until clear, wash separately the first time.
  • Wear gloves: always! The dye is hard to remove from skin.

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.

FAQ

  • Do I need soda ash? — No. Tulip's One-Step formula works with just water.
  • How many t-shirts can I dye? — Up to 30 projects, depending on size and intensity.
  • Is it suitable for children? — Yes, the dyes are nontoxic. Younger children should dye under supervision.
  • Will the colours fade? — No, with the correct setting time the colours are permanently washfast.
