How long should I let the dyed project set?

In order to achieve the best dye saturation, your tie-dye instructions say to cover and let set 6-8 hours or longer for more intense colors.

But if you are not wanting to wait that long to see your finished results, don’t fret! There is an alternative method called Two-Minute Tie Dye. This innovative process lets you use your kitchen microwave to speed up the dye setting process to a mere two minutes. The patent-pending containers and bags protect your damp project while also setting the dye into the fabric in the microwave. Check out these specialty Tulip Two-Minute Tie-Dye Kits for this fun alternative!
