Donna and Dan Emperador
My name is Donna Emperador and I am the owner of Kizmet Kreations. I started
tie-dying with my kids a few years ago as a gift for my husband, who has been wearing tie-dyes for at least twenty years. We used tie dye kits from a local store and did the basic designs with rubberbands. The colors eventually faded and were a bit dull. I recently decided to start at an home business doing creative projects such as tie-dye clothing, custom scrapbooks, and bead jewelry after I cut back my work hours to part time to spend time with our kids and new baby. I found Dharma Trading Co. on the Internet when looking for a supplier of
blank clothing and ordered many selections of
adult and
childrens clothing from
dresses to
camisoles, and even
pet shirts! I also ordered a beginning
tie dye kit with
soda ash,
Fiber Reactive Dyes, and
urea. The colors were vibrant and did not fade even after many washings. My husband, Dan, began helping me with the designs and we ordered Learn How to Tie Dye complete 3 volume set to learn new techniques. We now use artificial
sinew instead of
rubberbands and have used Dharmas
fabric markers and
vanishing pens to create additional designs. All our products are washed in
Dharmas fabric detergent and then with vinegar after dying to remove any loose dye particles and to prevent dyes from getting onto your skin when coming into contact with precipitation or perspiration. We recently have ordered
purses,
socks,
hair scrunchies,
shoelaces, and
hats from Dharma to add to our accessories. Its convenient to buy all our supplies from the same website, and the delivery is fast. Please feel free to contact us at
