Jacquard Tie Dye Kit

I bought this kit for the baby shower of two of my coworkers. It was a great idea and everyone had a great time. Other coworkers also brought their kids and they just had a blast. The entire kit was enough to dye 18 cotton onesies, 1 dozen baby socks and 6 bibs. The instructions were pretty easy to follow. It came with written and illustrated instructions (it was like a comic strip) which was helpful and appealing to young ones. It also came with a DVD about details on how to have great results with the tie-dye but I didn't really have enough time to watch it. The results of the shirts were cool. It doesn't look like made by a professional but it's good enough considering that most of us had minimal experience in tie-dying and also because there were a lot of kids that just played with the dye. The best thing is that we all had fun. It was a great activity and I will keep this product in mind for next time. Maybe this time I'll try to watch the DVD so results will be even better. Overall this product is great. It's complete, all you really need are buckets, some garbage bags to protect the surface of your work table and water. Also, it's a cheap activity that is appropriate for all ages. I highly recommend it.

I am SO impressed -- my three kids each have a "professional" tie-dye shirt, and they love to wear them together and have "tie-dye day." So I thought we'd try to make our own... I warned them that the ones we made weren't going to be as nice as the ones they have, but I WAS WRONG! All of our shirts turned out beautifully, even the ones my 4yo and 3yo "tied" and "dyed" themselves! We will definitely be buying this product again. A couple of tips if you buy this kit: the single pair of latex gloves included is not enough if you have more than one person tie-dying, and if you're working with little little kids (like I was), prepare yourself for a forearm workout-- it's a lot of wringing! Watch the video, and be wary of following the "mix color" instructions to the letter, unless the mixed color is the only one you want. (Mixing "green" in the bottle basically used up almost all of the yellow -- I wish I'd estimated a half bottle of green, or just mixed out of the bottle.) We got about 8-10 fully and deeply dyed shirts (very little white areas) from one kit.

I got this to tie dye a few things for Christmas presents. I dyed two child's hoodies and an apron. The dye was nice and I really liked how the kit comes with the soda ash, gloves, and rubber bands. No need to go out and buy those items separately. Also with the dye being already in the bottles it was decently mess free. The colors were vibrant. My only complaints would be that one, the kit says dye up to 15 shirts.. definitely not enough dye for 15 shirts, its more like 5 (if you want nice bright colors). Also, there's only one mixing bottle so you are limited there; however, the colors blended really well and I was able to get the secondary colors I was after by layering the color on the hoodie.

We purchased two of these kits so that we could make 20 shirts for everyone for our yearly family vacation. Although it does require some preparation and some online education, it is well worth it. We got the kids involved in the process, who got to pick their designs, and by the time everything was done... all 20 of us were happy with the end result. We probably could have made many more shirts and been fine, but we felt that we had the perfect amount for the amount of shirts we made.It is a lot of messy steps to make tie dye shirts, so be prepared, but this kit makes it as easy as it can get. Jacquard has taken all of the guess work out of tie dye and also added some creative designs that can add some personality to your own shirt.

Don't even know where to start. OK, your product is perfect. We got this on a weekend we had our 3 year old granddaughter and spent the first night buy clothes to tie-dye. Saturday, we watched the DVD that's included in your kit, Granddaughter on the floor watching every second of the DVD. That evening we start tie-dyeing and we had a ball! Our Granddaughter loved it and except for us putting the rubber bands on the stuff we were dyeing, the 3 year old did every thing else. The DVD taught her so much and I have never seen her as happy and devoted as she was that night with your product. Her parents have a hard time to get her to wear other clothes because she loves her tie-dyed clothes. hank you so much for a weekend we never will forget.

My kids loved this product! We had enough to make at least 10 shirts and still had some left. Colors are very vibrant, have washed the shirts multiple times now and the colors still appear very vibrant. I’m always the one to read reviews to determine if I’m purchasing or not, so I’m doing my part and writing my review for others. This is a GREAT gift for the family. Super fun for the kids, heck and adults! Instructions were clear. Will plan to stick with jacquard products!

I have bought this twice it is so good. The first go-around we were able to make quite a few garments--at least 5 t-shirts, an apron, 2 onesies, and some leggings. The second time around a nephew got a bit heavy-handed with the dyes and we made fewer items. But all the pigments have held up really well. I have never had that experience with tie dye (e.g. RIT dyes). The first time we did this was at least three years ago and everything from that time is still just as bright as when we dyed it. The instructions are clear and it's pretty foolproof--anything you do will come out looking cool. And the DVD instructions are actually simple enough to try out some cool patterns, too.

Instructions are ok, if more than one person is going to participate, get more gloves. Directions indicate that there is enough dye for 15 shirts, but the rubber bands are small, and if you want brilliant color all the way through, expect to do about 5 shirts in reality. Less if you want to do the one color option.
