ABSTRACT:
A composite, ready-to-use, do-it-yourself tie-dyeing kit (10) for producing a washable dyed pattern on an article of clothing (14) so that the user of the kit may learn the art and craft of tie-dyeing without ruining or consuming articles of clothing or fabric in the process and will be able to create designs and redo until satisfied with the results. The kit includes instructions (22), and a plurality of containers (18), each of which contains a liquid washable non-toxic dye (19), which dyes may dye a fabric at room temperature, and which washable dyes may be substantially completely washed out of the fabric by the user. The tie-dyeing kit further includes one or more ready-to-dye fabric garments (14) to which the washable dyes will adhere until the garment is washed out, and a device (20) for tying the garment while it is being dyed. The tying device is preferably a twist tie (20.1) or a clip (20.2). A child's toy such as a teddy bear (12) is preferably included in the kit, the garments being of a size which may be worn by the teddy bear.
