What you need:
Tulip Flower Petals One-Step Tie-Dye Kit
Tulip Wildflowers Dimensional Fabric Paint (optional)
White shirts
Before you get started on your pastel tie-dye project, prewash (and dry, if using the dry technique) the clothes you will be dyeing to remove sizing. Then choose your technique for folding and binding your project. In this project, Viviana Marino uses the accordion tie-dye technique. Secure with rubber bands.
Prepare the pastel tie-dye solutions according to the package instructions. Add water to each bottle at the indicated “Water Fill” line. Reattach the nozzle with cap on and shake vigorously for a minimum of 1 minute.
The Tulip Flower Petals One-Step Tie-Dye Kit has 5 gorgeous spring garden-inspired colors for you to create with! While wearing gloves, apply your desired colors of dye solution to each section, getting into all of the folds and crevices. To help the fabric absorb the dyes, work the solution into the fabric using your hands as you apply it. Cover the dyed fabric with plastic wrap to keep damp and let set for 6 to 8 hours, then wash and dry according to package instructions.
If you want to take your matching pastel tie-dye outfits one step further, use Tulip Wildflowers Dimensional Fabric Paint to add a monogram and other designs to each shirt! Allow the paint to dry flat for at least 4 hours.
