Tie dye with Horizon Group USA + A Giveaway!

Horizon Group USA sells a wide range of products for boys and girls of all ages, I've purchased some of their products in the past as Christmas gifts and the kids have always been pretty happy with their kits. I was lucky enough to be added as a Giveaway Guru with Horizon Group USA which means anytime I receive a product to test and review with my kids, I also get one to giveaway to one of my readers! Today I wanted to share their "Just My Style Radical Rainbow Tie Dye Kit" which can be purchased on Amazon for $7.99 (also available at Walmart and other stores).

This kit comes with three dye bottles; one red, one blue and one yellow. It also came with rubber bands, one pair of gloves, a iron on patch and instructions. This dye can be used on a number of clothing and accessory items from shirts to shoes, however it works best with 100% cotton. I picked up two white cotton shirts for my kids from the children's section and we set out with our kit! When this arrived in the mail the cap was off of the red bottle and a bit of the dye mixture was lost, but not enough to effect the end product.

I decided to do this in the kitchen sink because the dyes can and will stain other clothing, title, and more, so the stainless steel sink was my logical choice. Since there is only one pair of gloves you may want to pick up an extra pair depending on how many people are using this kit. Both of my children used a pair of gloves which we put on after we tied off the shirts how we wanted them. Each of the three bottles needs to be filled up with water and shaken around to mix all of the dye up with the water. Once you've thoroughly mixed the dye you can begin using it on your shirt.

There are several different ways to tie your clothing so I'd check the instructions guide to see how you'd like your pattern to come out. We went with a simple roll and tie method, both of my kids picked a different direction to roll their shirts up. The dye was easy to add to the fabric, once it starts absorbing into the cloth you can really get into a groove and you'll be done with your project in no time. The colors are easy to mix so you can achieve different shades of green, purple and orange.

After completing the two shirts we still had some dye leftover so I decided to take three white cloth face masks I had and make them tie dye as well. We let these sit for 24 hours before unrolling them, they were still slightly wet so we put them on hangers so that they could completely set. After they were dry, they were put through a cold rinse followed by a hot rinse until the water ran clear which helps get rid of extra dye before putting these into the washing machine for a final wash before wearing them.

The photos above are before they went through the rinse and wash cycle, you will lose a bit of the color in the wash which is normal. They came out a bit lighter than when we put them in otherwise they seemed to hold onto their color pretty well compared to photos of other reviews I've seen. Here is what it looked like after everything was said and done:

We had a lot of fun with this kit, I think it this is great for a family project or as a gift. Want to win one of your own? I am giving away a kit to one of you!
