Using Rit Dye to Keep Things Looking New |
|
|
I found a great way to make my clothing have a new look. I use the Rit dye to change the color of faded or to alter the color of clothing. I even recently dyed my white towels that were still plush, but didn't have that crisp white look anymore. I used a fraction of the purple dye to make a soft lavender. They came out beautiful.
I also looked online for 'recipes' for custom dye colors, using the basic colors found at the store, to make colors such as aqua and apricot. I even thought of dying my white sheets a pretty color to match my duvet cover. Lots of possibilities. Have fun!

so What do you do when your daughter drops it in the washer with her school clothes? Can't think of what to do to get it out. Hope is there a way?

HOW CAN I MAKE THE DYE TO COLOR MY CLOTHING ?
RE: Using Rit Dye to Keep Things Looking New
Another tip I discovered, is to disolve the dye in some of the hot water, but NOT while the washer is filling, or you get dye particles everywhere in & on & around your machine!! I did that, & what a mess to clean up!! I dye my jeans when they lose their new color & it sure works.

I use the easter egg dye to do the same thing. I dissolve it in warm water and put small items of clothing in it. Usually if a child's clothes is stained by a color I cannot get out, I will choose that color to dye the clothing. It is not as dark as the rit dye but it works nicely in a pastel color.

RIT dye is permanent , trust me. you'd have to bleach it out. just be very careful when you use the stuff, follow the directions exactly, and you'll be pleased with the results. i'd like a link to the sites for the custom color recipes please. thanx
