Previously, the 32g size was only available in an online-exclusive assorted sample 24-pack. Visit the closest Dollar Tree store to see the new assortment of Tintex products. Often fabric dye may be located in the laundry or craft sections of stores.
We are happy to announce that you can now get the new compact 32g size of Tintex at Canadian Dollar Tree stores. Now popular Tintex colours like: royal blue, dark brown, scarlet red, brilliant yellow, black and Whitex Wonder Witener are at retail in 32g packages.
Dollar Store Tie Dyeing
Tie dyeing is a fun summer craft, but I have been trying to cut back on crafts that cost a lot to do so I can focus on using up the huge stash of supplies I already have. I had some colored tissue paper on hand and learned that you can use it to dye fabric, so I decided to try to “tie dye” a onesie with tissue paper. Guess what, it worked!
I have tie dyed before, but it costs about $20 just to experiment a little with tie dye, plus it’s not the kind of activity you want to do with very small kids because of the toxicity of some of the necessary materials (not to mention the potential disastrous mess). Dyeing with tissue paper is a great way to get the look of tie dye with very basic materials you have on hand or can get at the dollar store.
This is a great project for young kids. My 2 year-old son helped me make the onesie. It would be fun to do this a day camp or as a scout activity. The only challenge is that it takes about a day to complete the dyeing/drying process, so it’s better for regular meeting-type groups. You could do it for a birthday party activity, but you’d probably want to send the shirt home (wrapped in a plastic grocery sack or zip-top bag) with parents with instructions for finishing it up.
I only had three fairly light colors of tissue paper at my house (yellow, orange, and lighter blue), but I think bolder colors would be quicker and have more impact. You could also try using leftover crepe paper from a birthday party (save the used stuff when you take it down, and reuse it for this craft!) Also, I couldn’t find my spray bottle, so I used a dollar store squirt gun to spray water on my tissue! Basically, I like to use what I have on hand instead of buying new stuff for every project!
