This tie-dye party is all about ambience! Set up your shibori tie-dye party by prepping your work station.

Prewash (and dry, if using the dry technique) any fabrics that you’ll be tie dyeing. You can tie dye almost anything— shirts, tablecloths, cloth napkins, even unfinished wooden beads!

Prep Dye and Tie Fabrics

Prepare your tie-dye solutions according to package instructions and choose your desired folding and binding techniques. In addition to rubber bands, the Tulip Shibori Tie-Dye Kit includes zip ties and twine for intricate shibori tie-dye designs!

Dye Fabrics & Let Set

Place your project onto a wire rack and tray combo to catch any excess dye and begin to apply the shibori tie-dye to your substrates. Place your dyed projects in a sealed bag or cover with plastic to keep damp while the dye sets, 6 to 8 hours or overnight for more intense colors.

Rinse, Wash, Dry & Reveal!
