How to throw a tie-dye party with Tulip:
Tie-Dye Party Preparation
Before you get the tie-dye party started, you’ll need to do a bit of prep work. Have your guests bring a white, prewashed, 100% cotton substrate for the most vibrant results— this can be a T-shirt, tote bag, socks, hat, or any other item they’d like to tie dye! Set the scene for your tie-dye party in a backyard or a spacious indoor area and protect your workstation with a plastic surface cover to avoid stains. Optionally, you can provide wire racks for your guests to use so that excess dye can drip freely, preventing colors from pooling and muddying on the fabric. Prepare the dye solutions by adding water to the dye bottles, filling to the neck. Replace the cap tightly and shake well until dye powder is fully dissolved.
Choose your tie-dye technique
Have your guests fold and bind their fabrics as desired. Check out the project guide included in your Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit for inspiration, or browse our tie-dye techniques online. Once you’ve all finished preparing your substrates, put on a pair of plastic gloves and get ready to tie dye!
Apply One-Step Dyes to fabric
Grab your favorite tie-dye colors and apply dye to fabric. Use gloved hands to work the dye into the folds of the fabric to ensure proper saturation. Depending on the technique used, you may need to flip your fabrics over and apply dye on the other side.
Wrap and let set
Once everyone has finished tie dyeing, wrap each project in plastic wrap or place into a sealable plastic bag. Allow the dye to set for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. For faster processing time, use Tulip Two-Minute Tie Dye Containers at your tie-dye party! This patent-pending process features specially made reusable microwaveable containers designed specifically for use with any Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit to make tie-dye magic in just minutes.
Rinse, wash, dry, and reveal!
After the dyes have set, remove the rubber bands from your tie-dye projects and rinse in cool water until the water runs clear. Wash with a small amount of laundry detergent, dry, and reveal your colorful tie-dye creations!
