The Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit comes with everything you need for your tie-dye projects, except the dye. As described by the manufacturer, you'll get 3 squeeze bottles, 20 rubber bands, two pairs of gloves, a microwaveable tray, and an instruction booklet. This means you can choose your own dye colors, which is great if you have specific shades in mind for your creations.

It's a nice bit of flexibility if you're aiming for a particular look or experimenting with different hues.

So, about that microwaveable tray: It's actually pretty handy. After you've added the dye to your fabric, you can use the tray to heat it in the microwave. This helps set the dye much faster than just letting it air dry. Basically, the heat helps the dye bond with the fabric, speeding up the whole process so you can see your final result quicker.

However, a few folks have mentioned some downsides. From our research, it seems some users were hoping the kit would come with the dye included, and maybe a few extra accessories. One person said, 'I think the product marketing should very clearly tell you that in addition to this kit you need to buy several dyes, another product to set the dye, not to mention the object you are dyeing. I have gloves and rubber bands at home. At least this kit should have some dye in it.'

Another commented, 'This kit worked really well. Everything you need aside from the dye. I wish that there were both more gloves and more bottles though.'

To make sure your tie-dye lasts, you might also want to grab some Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative. It helps keep the colors from bleeding and fading, which could be a game-changer for the durability of your designs. And of course, you'll need some dye.

The Rit All-Purpose Dyes come in loads of vibrant shades and should work perfectly with this kit. Happy dyeing!
