Tye Dye It Yourself — Local services in Kill Devil Hills

We thought it was going to rain today in OBX, so we planned for a no beach, indoor activities kinda day. This place was a great afternoon break for our kiddos. You pick your shirt (i.e. t-shirt, tank, love sleeve, dress, onesie, etc.), put on some gloves, a smock and get to "dyin." The store sends you home with washing and care instructions. IMO, it is on the pricey side, but overall, our group had a good time and the girl there was friendly and helpful.

Notes:

Douse that fabric with the colors you want because we thought we soaked it, but all the adults still had lots of white shirt areas after we washed it.

Sizes of the clothes run on the smaller side. I got an 18M onesie for my 10M son and it fit him perfectly (it was Gerber's brand). Hubs got a Large (Gildan brand) and doesn't love tight-fitting clothes, so he would've gotten an XL had he known.

They don't have pastel colors.

They have 3 patterns (only) of tie-dye pattern to choose from.

You Can bring your own shirts/dresses/whatever, but dying it will cost $10 (more if it's a sweater or thicker fabric).

You Can opt to buy a pre-tie-dyed merch, but that really takes the...

My family was vacationing in Nags Head 4th of July week. We had a large group of us and wanted to tye dye 11 beach towels which we brought with us. The young women who helped us, Lexie, was so patient with my indecisive family. She answered so many questions and was a pleasure to talk with while we were there. Our towels came out amazing! We had age range of 6-68 making them and everyone had a good time. Some of us even chose “more complicated” patterns for our tye dye and had complete success! Definitely would recommend stopping by on your next...

Came here on a rainy day and was pretty disappointed with the experience. We weren’t given very much instruction on how to make the pattern we had chosen and I felt like I had to probe information out of the person working there for any sort of direction. The shirts and experience were pretty overpriced for what was all of ten minutes of entertainment and I was given wrong information over the phone about pricing. The shirt I made is stiff and uncomfortable after washing. I wouldn’t recommend...
