Review of SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack

Customer Ratings:

This is a really cool product. I mixed together a few of the colors to make green, purple, and pink, giving me a total of 6 colors to play with. If you add a little water to them, the color won't be quite so intense, and you get much more dye out of the pack. The paint dries super fast and after a quick trip in the dryer, you're all done. it was a very clean, very simple, and very fun project.

I wanted to dye shirts for my kids to wear to Disney World so I can keep track of them. This is the kit I decided on, mainly because of price at the time. The kit ended up being a good choice for a few reasons. One it is cold here. There is a foot of snow on the ground. Tie Dye is something I usually do outside only, but given the conditions I had not much choice. I was not looking forward to the idea of a container of dye and drippy soaking T-shirts, soda ash soaking etc. But this kit you can use with dry shirts. That being said I know that you MUST MUST MUST always pre-wash and dry your shirts before you start. If you do not many times the sizing that keep the shirts looking new and fresh in the store also keeps dye from staying on the shirt.

This is a review for only the red blue and yellow dye on the shirts. The purple and black is another brand of fabric spray paint.

So I started with pre-washed and dried shirts. Did my spraying on the kitchen counter covered with a thick layer of plastic table cloth. The shirt on the right I sprayed in all my twists and folds and tried to saturate as much as I could with the spray bottle. It looks most like traditional spiral tie dye.

The middle I did some light chrunching and spraying, then refolding so white was exposed and spray again. This spray color does not soak too much through folds so only the white parts exposed end up dyed, unless you spray in the folds. You can tell on this middle shirt that there is a look of sprayed dye in spots. It is just a differnt look.

Now as far as 18 shirts? Not likely. Maybe if you did a little design in the middle of 18 shirts. But one of the colors I used, I ended up using the entire bottle on just these three kids shirts, size one extra small, and two size small.

That being said... I am still more than happy with how the product worked for this project. I sprayed the shirts. Let them dry, took out all rubber bands if there was any. Then let air dry again to make sure it was completely dry. Then tossed them dry, into the dryer to heat seal the color in. I was worried about other reviews who said color washed out. Not so... the color was just as vibrant after I washed them in cold water and detergent, and dried them. I was pumped to see how BRIGHT the colors were still. Not the case when I used other dunk dye methods in the past.

The shirts are ready to go! So I am super happy.

It is a newer medium as far as the spray method goes. You have to work and play with it. I do consider myself a bit on the crafty side. Little kids elementary age, may have a difficult time with the spray nossle, I didn't have too much trouble with it, but can see how a young kid may.

Clean up was nice. It washed off my counter easily with just water, where it happened to overspray. But yes you will have colored fingernail creases, and hands for a day or two if you do not wear gloves. But that too didn't last too long, and I really get my hands into working with the shirts when I make them.

Best Deals for SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack

We've purchased several SEI tie-dye kits since we tried out the first one and fell in love with them. They are so easy to use. There is no mixing involved. You don't need buckets. You simply tie up your shirts and spray them. The pump is similar to a hair spray pump so it may be a little difficult for younger kids. My 5 yo can do it with a little assistance.

The shirts come out great if you wet them before putting on the rubber bands. LET THEM DRY COMPLETELY before removing the rubber bands. Then you simply throw them in the dryer and they are ready to wear. Even after a few washes the colors are still vibrant.

If you are looking for the quickest, easiest and cleanest method of tie dying I highly recommend this product. I'd suggest using rubber gloves and spraying the shirts on a piece of cardboard and letting them dry there (or in a plastic bag). That way there is little to no clean up. You can make a few shirts (and clean up after them) in just a few minutes.

Honest reviews on SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack

My lady is doing a little tie dye project for her fellow bridesmaids and asked me to buy her a tie dye kit. i bought this one. it was really easy to use and made far less of a mess than your conventional tie dye kit, but don't even think about being able to use this kit for 15 shirts like it advertises on the package. it could do that if you wanted to use a few squirts per shirt but trust me, if you want the color of the typical tie dye shirt you'll need to use half to a full bottle of this stuff to achieve it. then again, if you only want to do a shirt or two or a pair of socks or something this stuff worked great! harder to get the spiral and other patterns though... since this is a dry kit and those designs work best cause the dye runs with water.
