It can also be used on nylon mesh such as netting and tulle. The powder should be mixed with water before applying it to the fabric.

How To Use Tulip Fabric Dye Powder
Here is the complete process explained in detail on how to use tulip fabric dye powder:
1. Prepare the fabric by washing it.
Start by washing the fabric in warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent. Rinse the fabric thoroughly, then place it in a clean sink or tub filled with cold water and add a cup of salt. Swish the fabric around to help release any remaining soap residue, then let it soak for 10 minutes. Wash the fabric again, this time using only cold water and no detergent, then rinse again until all traces of soap are gone.
Step 2:
2. Dissolve the dye powder in hot tap water (a).
Step 3:
3. Stir in vinegar (b).
Step 4:
4. Soak your fabric in the dye bath (c).
Step 5:
5. Remove your fabric from the dye bath after 15 minutes and rinse it well under running cool water (d).
Step 6:
6. Wash your fabric one last time to remove any excess dye and vinegar (e), then hang it to dry on a clothesline or over a shower rod indoors until completely dry before using as desired (f).
Tips for How To Use Tulip Fabric Dye Powder
Here are 5 things to take care of with respect to how to use tulip fabric dye powder:
1. Use a bowl that is non-porous and free of any scratches. Make sure it is clean and dry as well.
2. You will need to put the fabric in water. Make sure that the water level is higher than the bottom of the fabric. If it isn’t, you can add additional water to make sure that it is.
3. Put a layer of cotton or tissue paper at the bottom of your container to prevent splashing when you add water to your fabric!
4. Put your fabric in a dark place where they won’t get too hot or cold for too long. A closet works well for this purpose! It is important that you don’t store them outside because they are susceptible to heat and moisture damage if not properly stored!
5. When using Tulip Dye Powder, use only one packet per color, per 8 oz of pre-boiled water (see below).
Preparation: Preheat pot with pre-boiled water and cool down before adding Tulip Dye Powder (1 packet per color). Stir until powder dissolves completely in warm water (do not boil!). Add fabric and stir gently until all color disappears from surface (approximately 10 minutes).
Remove from pot and rinse under cold running tap water until water runs clear (approximately 5 minutes). Wash according to garment label instructions, or hand wash on gentle cycle using mild detergent; no bleach; line dry or tumble dry on low setting; press warm if desired after drying (do not iron directly over design). Note: For best results, use undyed 100% cotton fabrics only!
Some people like to create their own recipes using different types of dyes in order to get different colors from their fabrics but we would advise against doing this because there are so many variables involved that it would be nearly impossible for anyone other than an expert chemist to predict exactly what colors will result from mixing different types of dyes together so we don’t recommend doing this unless you know what you are doing!

Tulip Dye Powder is a concentrated dye powder. It is very easy to use and can be used for a variety of projects. You will need to prepare your fabric by washing it with Synthrapol or Eucalan prior to dyeing. This will ensure that the fabric takes the dye well and removes any oils from the surface of the fabric.
To make your own Procion MX Dye, you will need to mix Tulip Dye Powder with hot water (not boiling) in a non-metal container. Add 1/2 teaspoon of dye powder per 1 gram of dry fabric weight (1 teaspoon per 2 grams). Then add enough water to dissolve all the powder, stirring until completely dissolved. Let cool completely before using. The cooled mixture must be used within 24 hours or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
I want to use my own recipe, what do I do?
You can use any recipe you like as long as it is made with Procion Fiber Reactive MX dyes and you have tested it out on scrap fabric first! If you are using other fiber reactive dyes, we recommend testing them out first on scrap fabrics because they may not work as well as our dyes do! If you are using acid dyes, we suggest that you test them out first on scraps because they may not work as well as our dyes do! We also recommend buying extra fabric just for testing if
Powder dye is a dry product. It comes in a bag or a box. There are lots of different brands and they all work pretty much the same way. You have to mix it with water, not fabric softener! I like to use a little bit of vinegar too because it helps set the dye faster.
Mix up your dye powder with water and vinegar in an old bucket. The amount of each you use will vary depending on how much dye you need and what color you want to achieve. I’ve found that using about 1/3 cup powder per 1 gallon of water works well for me, but if you want lighter colors, you can use more powder or less water.
If your bucket doesn’t have a lid, cover it with plastic wrap before adding the dye so that none of the powder gets out while you stir it up! Stir until all the powder is dissolved and no clumps remain. This may take some time, so be patient! You can also add salt to help dissolve the dye faster if needed (1 teaspoon per 1 cup of dye). Once your mixture is ready, let it sit for 15 minutes or so to cool down before adding your fabric.
How do I get my fabric wet without getting any excess dye on my hands?
I usually wear rubber gloves when I am working with powdered dyes because they are still wet when I am done washing them out and any extra dye on my hands would
Powder dye is more difficult to work with because you have to mix it with a liquid before you can use it. This means that you need to know how much of the powder dye you need and how much water to add.
You can also find some powders that are premixed, but these are usually not as vibrant as when you mix them yourself. If you want your tie dye shirt to be brighter, we recommend that you mix the powder dye yourself.
How do I mix my powder dye?
When mixing your powder dyes, make sure that they are completely dissolved in the water before using them on your tie dying project. You don’t want any clumps or undissolved pieces of powder left in the water because this could ruin your project by leaving streak marks on your fabric or causing uneven color distribution. The best way to get rid of any lumps is by using a wire whisk, which will help break up any lumps that may be present in the mixture. This is especially important if you are working with a powdered dye that needs more than one cup of water added to it (such as Rit Dye). Make sure that all the lumps are gone before adding the mixture to your tie dying bucket!
We recommend 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of tie dye kit.
What is the shelf life of Tulip Tie Dye?
Tie Dye Kits have a shelf life of 12 months. After that, we recommend using them as soon as possible. The longer they sit, the less vibrant they will be. If you want to use them after that point, we recommend adding more water and letting them sit in a bucket or tub overnight to reactivate the chemicals.
