Tulip Glow Tie-Dye Party Kit, 18 Dye Bottles & Glow Mixer

1.       Prewash garment at the regular Warm Wash Setting and tumble dry on the Low Heat Setting.
2.       Follow the instructions for folding and binding your project. Cover workspace with a plastic liner and fold the dry garment into desired pattern and secure with rubber bands. If using a flat method for dyeing the project (not folding and binding), place a sheet of plastic (such as plastic wrap or a plastic bag) between the layers of the garment to prevent the Glow Dye Mixer from soaking through to back side
3.       For Regular Dyes: Add water to dye bottle, filling to the neck. Replace cap tightly. Shake until dye is dissolved. For a lighter shade of color, add more water using an extra bottle if needed. Apply dye within 24 hours after mixing. Dye left unapplied after 24 hours will begin to lose concentration and will result in noticeably weaker color intensity.

For Glow Dyes: Select which color you’d like to add glow effect to. Pour the contents of the glow pigment packet into the dye bottle, fill 1/2 of the bottle with Mixer, then add room-temperature water to fill the bottle to the neck. Reattach the nozzle with cap on and shake vigorously for a minimum of 1 minute or until the dye solution appears uniform. The solution should appear evenly mixed throughout the dye bottle.

4.       Apply the Glow Tie-Dye solution to the top side of the folded/tied garment, working the tip of the bottle into the fabric folds as you apply the dye. Flip the project over and repeat applying Glow Tie Dye on the opposite side. Regular dye can be applied to projects simultaneously with Glow Dye. Apply dye on fabric, checking to make sure dye has penetrated into folds. Do not oversaturate fabric.
5.       Once all Glow Tie Dye has been applied, immediately remove the rubber bands and unfold the garment. Lay the garment horizontally on the lined workspace to air dry. Insert a plastic shirt form or plastic lining inside of the shirt and between all layers, including the sleeves. Flip the garment over halfway through the drying process to ensure that all layers dry thoroughly. After allowing the Glow Tie Dye to set for 24 hours or longer, check the garment to ensure it has thoroughly dried. Once completely dry, rinse with cool tap water to remove excess dye. Machine wash with cold water and a mild detergent on the Delicate Setting. Air dry.
6.       To charge Glow pigments, place the garment outside in the sunlight for 30-60 seconds. Recharge as needed.

•       Glow Tie Dye should be applied on a dry shirt for best results.
•       It helps to turn the Mixer bottle upside down (with cap on) and tap on a sturdy surface to help extract the remainder of Mixer at the bottom of the bottle.
•       Use gloved hands to help work the Glow Dye into the fabric as you apply it. This helps it better absorb into the dry fabric fibers.
•       While applying the dye solution, shake regularly to ensure an even distribution of Glow Tie Dye
•       If wearing at night, Glow pigments can also be charged with indoor lighting.
