Best Fabric Decorating Kits of 2025

"I bought these for a birthday party where the kids decorated their own shirts for Halloween. They worked fantastically with vibrant colors that didn't bleed. After several washes, they still look amazing."

"I purchased these markers for my dad, who was using sharpies for details on his polos. He was pleasantly surprised by the durability of the ink after washing. The colors are vibrant and they dry quickly after application."

"I got these fabric markers for my daughter to color a black and white car rug. The reviews were decent, but we did experience some bleeding. It took a long time for the ink to dry on the carpet, and even after drying, it smeared a bit."

"This is my second set, and I bought these as a gift. They work great! My own set is 2.5 years old, and the color still looks good after many washes. Highly recommend."

"I was initially satisfied with the value and quality of these markers. They had a great variety of colors and none were broken or leaking. The fine tip was more precise than I expected, and despite some minor issues with ink flow, I was able to finish my projects without a problem."

"I found some colors to be much darker than I anticipated. The lighter yellow didn’t even work. While they don’t bleed on fabric, I think I’ll stick to acrylic paints for my main projects. These markers are ideal for tiny details and outlining, though."

"I bought this kit to make tie-dye shirts for my preschool class. It was more than enough for 15 shirts in sizes 4-5T. The colors are so vibrant! The process was incredibly fun, and the directions were straightforward. The kids loved seeing the designs after we opened them! The pictures I took were after washing, and you can see how vivid the colors remained. Just remember to have an old plastic tablecloth or newspaper down because we didn’t, and the dye stained one of our classroom tables."

"I thought the colors in this kit meshed really well together. For some reason, the lavender looks gray in my pictures, but in person, it’s a lovely pale lavender. These colors worked beautifully because they didn’t blend and get muddy like other Tulip kits I’ve used. I’m pleased with this kit. I left the dye on for just one hour for a softer tie-dye effect, but I can’t tell a difference in vibrancy compared to longer settings. Soda ash treatment made a noticeable difference in color vibrancy!"

"This kit was exactly what I needed. It can get a bit messy, but it's best to do it outside. The colors matched my expectations perfectly, and as a first-time tie-dyer, this kit came with everything I needed. Extra dye packets, elastic bands, multiple gloves—it’s fantastic value for the price!"

"I bought three of these kits for the kids in a school club. With all three, we managed to dye 45 shirts, mostly adult smalls and mediums. I appreciated the inclusion of soda ash, which helped the fabric hold color beautifully after pre-soaking. The kit provided four bottles with dye already mixed, just requiring warm water. We ended up with brilliant colors on the shirts, while still retaining some white. The instructional CD and booklet were very useful, especially since most kids were beginners. However, I found only one pair of gloves included, so I bought extras for the kids. After washing my shirt multiple times, the colors remain bright and true. I will definitely be reordering this kit for our next tie-dye session!"

"As a complete beginner, I decided to purchase two of these kits. In total, we dyed 15 shirts and had some dye left over, although not enough for additional shirts without leaving them mostly white. Having a second kit allowed us to mix colors for more variety. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I found the included DVD provided great ideas for designs. I was pleased that after multiple washes, the colors stayed vibrant with no bleeding. I recommend setting up multiple stations for efficiency. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with excellent results!"

"This kit is fantastic! It includes everything you need for a fun tie-dye project. The packaging is great for easy transport, and I appreciated the inclusion of a French instruction manual. However, I wished there was more dye, as it only allowed for about six shirts if you want limited white on each. Still, the four bottles help when mixing colors. I had a wonderful time using this kit!"

"I found this project to be such a fun experience! Having never tried Poke Art before, I was surprised at how easy it was. It only took me a couple of hours while watching TV, and the results looked just like the pictures. I really appreciate how relaxing it was, and I think it's a great craft for those who may lack confidence in their artistic skills."

"This kit was adorable and simple to use! I believe it's perfect for older kids since there are no sharp edges. I plan to paint the background black to make the design pop even more. I'm excited to see if it turns out as beautiful as the cover suggests!"

"I decided to try Poke Art after being intrigued by it. I did this with my 8-year-old who found it easy and really enjoyed the process! The concept is quite relaxing, and I think kids as young as 5 can manage it with guidance. The box design is charming, and I don't really understand the 18+ label. Overall, I think you'll have a great time with this!"

“I used these markers for a baby shower, and they worked wonderfully! The ladies wrote cute messages on onesies for the expecting parents, which I think will give them some hope during those tough nights filled with baby duties. The array of colors was very helpful too.”

“Initially, I was hesitant due to some negative reviews, but after testing all the markers, I found that they all worked well! I stored them in a zip-lock bag to prevent drying out, and they performed just as I expected. The colors stayed true even after washing, making this a great buy!”

“For my daughter’s birthday party, I chose these markers so the kids could design their own shirts. They loved the multiple color choices, but I noticed that the fine tips made it harder for younger kids to get some of the lighter colors to show up. Overall, they worked fine for fabric, but weren't exactly what I needed.”

“I only had to create a color chart to understand each pen, but after that, they were easy to use. They work well for detail on fabric, and I found that the colors blend easily while wet. I did notice that the colors were less vibrant after washing on a blue tee compared to white, though.”

“These pens worked perfectly on the pillowcases we decorated. The kids used them with ease!”

“I bought these for my students to decorate baby onesies for their teacher's maternity leave. Unfortunately, the markers were lighter in color than I expected, and they seemed to dry out very quickly. After just one use with 15 second graders, they had to be tossed, which was disappointing.”

"This kit helped my family create fun shirts for our reunion! We all watched the informative video, which was slightly cheesy but enough to understand our designs. I highly recommend it. Just make sure to buy an extra box of disposable gloves for everyone. We made 10 adult and 9 kid shirts and had plenty of leftover dye!"

"I absolutely loved how our shirts turned out! They were even more neon than I expected, but so much fun. We made 20+ shirts and still had leftover dye. Although we didn't do traditional tie dye, this kit worked well and provided everything we needed, except we could have used more rubber bands and a bucket."

"As someone very picky about tie dye kits, I can confidently say that this is the brand to choose! Unlike other brands, this one includes a DVD for different styles and the dye is incredibly vibrant. I love this kit! I recommend buying it here instead of at Michaels, where the stock is often old. I highly recommend this brand!"

"I had everything I needed to create 4 shirts and the directions were straightforward. I made 2 long sleeve and 2 short sleeve shirts."

"I purchased this kit to craft a camp baby sling wrap. It turned out pretty cool! For the price, you can't beat it. The instructions were clear and I’m considering buying another box to improve the camo look. Just a tip: go easy on black and dark green."

"I got this kit for my 5-year-old grandson who loves camo. We made 3 T-shirts and had plenty of dye left over, but we had to throw it out since it couldn’t be reused. If you're making camo items, do them all at once for the best results!"
