Natural fibers like 100% cotton, rayon, or linen provide the most vibrant and permanent results.
For optimal results, let the fabric sit in a sealed plastic bag for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight for deeper saturation.
Yes, you can mix dyes within the bottles or layer them on the fabric to create custom gradients and secondary colours.
Yes, once properly set and rinsed, the dyes are permanent on natural fabrics.
The kit is suitable for older children with adult supervision, as the dye can stain surfaces and clothing permanently.
Once mixed with water, dye should be used within a few hours for best results; it is recommended to mix only what you need.
Ensure the fabric was damp before dyeing and allow the dye to set for the full recommended time before rinsing.
Use more rubber bands to create tighter barriers and avoid over-saturating the fabric with dye.
Ensure the garment is thoroughly dampened and that you are working the dye into the folds of the fabric during application.
To set up your project, prepare your workspace by covering it with a plastic tablecloth or working outside to manage potential drips. Ensure your fabric is at least 80 percent natural fiber, such as cotton, rayon, or linen, for the best results, as synthetic fibers do not hold dye well. Before starting, ensure all fabric is freshly laundered without fabric softener. Once the project is complete and the dye has set for the recommended time, rinse the fabric in cold water until it runs clear, then wash it separately in the washing machine to remove excess pigment. Always wear the provided gloves to prevent skin staining during the application process.
