Welcome to another Make It Monday!
Where I bring you some totally awesome crafts!
Today's craft is fun for all ages and easy clean up (which I LOVE)!
Let's tie dye the stylish way, shall we.
This ain't your mama's tie dye art my friends. This is a new way! It is from Spin Master (coolmaker.com) and it's called Tidy Dye Station.
Cool Maker gives you all the tools needed to make amazing creations without the mess of traditional tie dye. There are how-to-videos, blogs and website content to inspire your next creation.
This kit contained two projects: a headband and a tote bag.
You are free to create your own design or use the suggested ones in the booklet.

Everything that was suppose to be in the kit was there. The only "ingredient" we needed to provide was water.
The instructions were fairly easy to read.
After reading through the section on the headband project, we got started.
For this project, our daughter, Molly was excited to help out.
After soaking the headband in water for a while, then ringing it out real well..she proceeded to wrap it around the cylinder and fasten it.
Then next was the magic! Instead of the traditional tie die, different colored strings were provided and she was able to wrap the string around the headband turning it until she got to the end.
She used blue and pink and wanted to use the purple but the string would not come out of the cartridge, so that was a no go.
After it sat all night, she rinsed it and let it dry completely.
She loves the way it turned out and so do I!
Okay on to my pros and cons of the kit:
Pro: easy directions, no mess and a quick craft
Con: the purple string would not come out of the cartridge so it's not usable as is.
Overall rating I would give it a 8.5. The girls wish it came with more projects, but you can use what is left of the strings to make your own Tidy Die creations. Great for ages 8 and up and if you buy it, I would suggest reusing the great box it came it for storage.
