Feelin’ Groovy
Okay, I will admit it. Deep down inside, I want to be the “cool mom” to my kid’s friends.
I think I have found a pretty cool summer activity that will have the neighborhood kids flocking to my back yard: the Jacquard Funky Groovy Tie Dye Kit!
This is kit is only $11.95 and has everything you need (except the actual clothing item) to dye up to 5 adult sized shirts!
You get pre-measured dye in red, blue and yellow plus 1/3 lb Dye Fixer, 3 Squirt (mixing) bottles, a pair of rubber gloves, a bunch of rubber bands and easy-to-follow instructions with suggested tying patterns.
This would be great to do with a small group of friends, or venture beyond the world of tees and dye some pillow cases, socks, handkerchiefs, or something else that needs to be a little more funky!
To tie dye a white cotton t-shirt (or anything else) takes just three steps: (1) wet garment and tie with rubber bands; (2) soak in soda ash and mix the dyes with tap water; then (3) apply dye, wait 24 hours, rinse, wash, dry and enjoy!
I browsed the Jacquard website and found some tutorials on how to dye in a spiral pattern or a heart pattern! There is even a tie dying forum so you can get your questions answered by pros!
This groovy project is recommended for children ages five and older (with supervision of course! These are permanent dyes, you know!).
Jacquard Products makes professional-quality textile paint and dyes at great prices.
In fact, the Jacquard Funky Groovy Tie Dye Kit won accolades from the Parents’ Choice Foundation because of the ease of use and professional results!
If you have a larger group of tie dyers, try the Jacquard Tie Dye Kit, which allows you to dye up to 15 shirts. The cost is reasonable, at $19.95. You would definitely be the hit of the sleepover or scout meeting!

This post is kismet…I was actually listening to Simon and Garfunkel on the way to my mom’s today and Feelin’ Groovy was on…then I saw the title of this post. Weird, especially that I haven’t heard that song in probably a year.
I’m also doing a giveaway for one of these. I want to try out the kit this weekend.

We just love Tie Dye shirts. I actually have 3 myself. This would be perfect for having a Tie Dye Sock Party or a Tie Dye Pillow Case Party. How about a Tie Dye Scarf Party. I have a pattern to make beaded bandana neck scarfs and they could Tie Dye the scarf’s and add colorful beads which requires no sewing only a pair of kid safe scissors. We could mix it up and let them decide what they want to bring to Tie Dye. My 11 and 12 year old would love to have a Tie Dye Party with the neighborhood kids~! I also found another fun project for the kids this summer on the Jacquard web site. The Vases with ExtravOrganza kit. We could have a bring a jar make a Vase Party. Thanks for Sharing this wonderful review and giveaway~!

Jacquard Professional Screen Printing Kit
13 June 2009, 8:22 pm
I have used the tie dye kit before, and really like it. I also like that you can buy the dyes and fixative separately and do a big batch. My favorite tie-dye project with kids is to make washable paper towels. That’s a tie-dye project that’s sure to get used, over and over again! You can cut flannel or T-shirts with a zig zag scissor for the easiest wipes, or bring a sewing machine and teach them to use it. My kids feel like rock stars when we make these! (-:
