Essentials for Your Tie-Dye Creation:
- Tulip Retro Brights One-Step Tie-Dye Kit
- A white or light-colored sundress
- A spray bottle or paintbrush
- Water
Step 1: Prepare Your Dress
Start with prewashing your chosen sundress to ensure the dye takes well. Keep it slightly damp. Lay the dress flat on a protective surface and apply accordion pleats vertically. Secure these with rubber bands, creating five evenly spaced sections, prepping your canvas for a splash of color.
Step 2: Mix Your Dyes
Follow the instructions included in your Tulip Retro Brights One-Step Tie-Dye Kit to mix your vibrant dyes. For this project, unleash the full spectrum of the kit’s five colors to bring your sundress to life!
Step 3: Apply the Dye
For a stunning ombre effect, apply a different dye to each section of the dress. To blend the colors seamlessly, use a spray bottle filled with water at the edges of each color. Alternatively, after dye application, you can remove the rubber bands, lay the dress flat, and employ a paintbrush and water to soften the transitions between hues.
Step 4: Set the Color
Encase your dyed dress in a plastic bag or cover it with plastic wrap to keep it moist. Allow the dye to set for 6 to 8 hours, or leave it overnight for deeper color saturation. Following the setting time, remove any rubber bands and wash the dress as per the dye package instructions.
Your DIY ombre tie-dye sundress is now ready to make its debut in your summer wardrobe!
