How to use

Prepare the textile by washing and drying it to remove sizing and dirt. Decide on a tie-dye technique (fold, roll, pleat or crumple) and secure the fabric with elastic bands to create resist patterns. Apply the liquid paints directly to sections created by the bands, using different colours to achieve desired effects. Allow the paint to penetrate the fabric, then follow the included instructions for setting the dye—typically by leaving the item to rest for the recommended time and rinsing until the water runs clear. Follow any drying and heat‑setting guidance provided to improve colour fastness.

Usage recommendations

Work on a protected surface and wear gloves or aprons to avoid staining. Test the paint on a small hidden area or a fabric scrap to check colour results and compatibility. Supervise children during the activity and follow the set instructions for drying and fixing colours to achieve the best, long‑lasting results.
