Anyone dye there material with kool-aid. if so how do you. What are the steps to get a nice rich color.

the trick with koolaid or any other acid dye is to use hot water and vinegar

Just use ritt dye or other clothing dyes. Although you if you use koolaid, you could drink what is left over! lol

 

For rich colors you need white. So either buy white materials or you will need to bleach. You can use hair bleach for that.

To achieve rich colors, use a touch of salt and some vinegar. Also the longer you leave the materials in the dye bath the dark they will be. Any other info needed on dying, simply do a search here on the site, as there has been much discussions on this in the past. happy dying!
