Be Inspired With Our Tie Dye Sets Filled With A Variety Of Colours

No tie dye set is complete without a number of colourful dyes! Tie dye relies on a mix of colours so it's important to feature a variety of hues in a tie dye kit. Often tie dye kits feature a colour theme, such as cheerful colours in the same palette, calming pastel tones or vibrant neon colour tones. Tie dye sets usually also feature elastic bands to help hold garments in place.

Create A World Of Fun With Our Kid's Tie Dye Kits

Inspire any child's creativity by helping them to create eye-catching tie-dye designs. From aprons to t-shirts, children can have fun experimenting with different colours and designs. Whether it be for a school holiday activity or a Saturday afternoon crafting session, a kids tie dye kit is great for improving fine motor skills while promoting self-expression, encouraging kids to choose their favourite colours to decorate garments. A great activity for birthday parties, tie dying clothes can also be used as a teaching opportunity, helping children understand colour theory and experiment with different colour combinations.

Common Pitfalls Of Fabric Dyeing

Even those who have some experience dyeing fabric will tell you that there are some common pitfalls when it comes down to dyeing fabrics. Fortunately, Spotlight has lined up these common pitfalls and how you avoid them.

• Stitches: Stitching on fabrics can be a wildcard when it comes down to dyeing. While the majority of clothing manufacturers will use a thread in the same material as the overall fabric, this is not always a guarantee. So, when you dye clothing or another item that has stitching made from a different material, the dye results can be quite different.
• Stains: One of the main reasons why people look at dyeing some of their old clothing is to cover up a stain. Unfortunately, stains do not necessarily get covered by fabric dye, as it will take the dye differently than the rest of the fabric. So, dyeing clothing to cover a stain is a big no-no.
• Bedding: It is not uncommon to dye bedding, especially if you have the most comfortable bed linen, but you do not necessarily like the colour. Of course, dyeing large items is more difficult than dyeing a top or a pair of trousers. One of the most important things when you dye larger items is that you keep the fabrics moving. If you leave the bedding stagnant while you are dyeing it, you are more likely to encounter discolourations and uneven results. In other words, keep the fabric moving as soon as you place it in your dye bath.

Tie Dye Kit FAQs

Can I dye fabric that is not white?

Whenever you start dyeing fabric that is not white or natural, you want to look into a colour remover first. When you want to dye something that has been dyed before, the dye may not take as well. Using a colour remover on fabrics is much like using a special primer before you paint furniture or other surfaces. It effectively prepares the fabric by lightening existing colours or stripping it completely.

How do I create my own unique colours?

While there are many colours you can buy to dye your fabrics with, sometimes you have your own unique colour in mind. If this is the case, you can create your colour yourself, by using pre-bought products and your mixing skills. Since mixing colour can be a little tricky, it is recommended to create a small amount of the dye first. Once your dye is ready, you can use a simple paper towel to check the colour and see if you are happy with it. Once you know your perfect formula, you can create more colour for the fabrics that need to be dyed.
