Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks, 15 Color Set (PTS-15)

I purchased the Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks as part of a Christmas gift for my 9 year old daughter. She has gotten quite a bit of use out of them so far and so has her sister. They go on the fabric very easily. The color is very rich and stays put. I would definitely get these over fabric markers and unless you want the texture that fabric paint gives, I'd choose these over the paint too. If you like oil pastels, that is pretty much what these are except for fabric. I've washed the shirts my daughter "designed" several times now and the color hasn't faded yet. These offer a lot of creative fun for a small price.

These are fabric dye sticks are wonderful, really hold up after many, many washes. The dye sticks are very similar to an oil pastel, very soft and smudgy. On stretchy materials, like t-shirts, it does require a technique to apply and might be challenging for a small child. They work fabulous on firm materials, like canvas, blending in easy and the colors are so bold. The heat set is simple and easy and MUST BE DONE in order for a PERMANENT product. The pictures of the shirts I made have been washed over 20 times on warm cycle. I did one on a gray shirt and was impressed on how well the color showed up and stayed after so many washes.

It works well on jeans; it is a bit light, which is why I deducted a star, but what it is and how much it costs can't go wrong. Fun little activity that is easy to use. You draw with the pastels and place a piece of paper between the iron and your design. Then you are all set. I haven't washed it, but I imagine it doesn't stay for many washes. Perfect for having kids design a piece of clothing.

So you open the pack of Dye Sticks and see what looks like a set of Crayons, but... Crayons are for kids! These Dye sticks are serious business. Not that a child couldn't use these, but they might not grasp the blending and smudging of colors. Speaking of smudging, I found (after using a whole set) that if you roughly color in the area you want, say red. Then I use a little piece of fabric to smudge the red all over the area. Smudging not only saves dye sticks, it gives you a smoother more consistent color. Since the colors are smudg-able, be careful not to drag your hand through different colors or get carried away smudging and blend colors you wanted separate. These little sticks are wonderful. I've used them for designing shirts and ties and am quite pleased.

Nice like oil pastel like texture. Hard to draw on textured shirt. There isn’t a sharp point so it’s hard to draw details. I ironed the design and washed it recently and the design has faded a little bit. Not sure how many washes it will last.

I use these for making permanent designs on T-shirts, handkerchiefs, and sometimes the faces of stuffed cloth dolls. Fabric must be able to withstand hot setting on iron, so choose 100% cotton - no delicate synthetics, and I do recommend heat-testing with your iron ahead of time. Put a thin piece of paper or even a paper towel both under and over the decorated fabric before ironing. (Doll faces must be drawn and heat-set with iron before stuffing, and ideally before sewing). If the designs aren't quite the way you want them, the package says they can be rinsed out of the fabric before ironing, and you can start over...I have never had to rinse out the colors this way, and some people say the colors don't wash out completely, but it would be worth a try if you experience the need for it.

Good depth of color and ease of use on cotton.

Really good - and a great price . Used for decorating bags for a birthday party ( cotton bags ) .. All the kids used them easily ..no mess... And all the kids had fun .. Worth buying .. Very easy to set the colours ..( bought a roll of cheap lining paper - put the paper over the bags and ironed ( just a quick iron req'd ) easy . Recommend .

Cute alternative to fabric paints. Washes well, easy to apply. Love this idea, only wish they had purple, otherwise great.

Die Farben sind nicht wie Kreiden, sondern eher wie Wachsmaler. Schwierigen und deiner Linien sind dadurch nicht möglich. Am Backpapier bleiben Farbresten haften. Bin absolut unzufrieden.

Easy to use no mess. It can easily draw with stencils and so on.
