Product Information

White – the opportunities are endless! Dye white fabric any color you want and it’ll come out the same color as the dye says it will, which is quite handy!

If a faint stain still remains, cut a lemon in half, rub the juice into the stain, and let the white fabric sit in direct sunlight. This is another effective way of removing stains from white clothing.

If you want to dye synthetic fabrics at home, using disperse dye is the easiest way to go. Rit DyeMore is a household name that sells disperse dyes, and their dye formula works very well with any fabric that has more than 35% of the synthetic component. Artists also love acrylic paint because it comes in a wide range of colors. Acrylic paints are available in all hues and shades, so you can find one that matches your project perfectly. It’s also easy to mix if you don’t find a shade that you like, so if you want vibrant artwork, acrylic paint is a great solution. If you have a polyester blend with less than 35% polyester (or other synthetic materials), you can safely use the Rit DyeMore dye for natural fabric instead.

The first thing is you need to know the type of fabric that you’re working with. This is because 100% polyester and polyester blend need to be treated differently when dyeing. You should only use disperse dye if the blend has more than 35% synthetic fibers. Pink – treat pink the same way you would treat red, but keep in mind that lighter shades will require less dye to mix with them so you’ll likely need less dye than you would if you started with a darker red. How to dye fabric with natural dyes (the same mixing principles we’ve discussed here apply to natural dyes as well!) Gather ripe plant materials to make natural dyes. To get the best colors, fruit needs to be fully ripe, nuts need to be mature, flowers should be in full bloom and near the end of their life cycle. Seeds, leaves, and stems can be harvested as soon as they grow in. Combine materials to make a stronger color, or a mixed color: [17] X Research source Make a red-brown dye using elderberries, red onion skin, pomegranates, beets, bamboo, or dried hibiscus flowers.

Create brown dye using dandelion roots, oak bark, walnut husks and hulls, tea bags, coffee, acorns, or goldenrod shoots. Beige – almost any “antiqued” version of a color can be created from a beige base. Neons are unlikely, but you can use a dusty pink using a bit of red dye, a mossy green using some spring green dye, etc. Beige is similar to mixing a very light brown, it will tone down any dye color slightly and make it appear slightly muddy and less intense. Use copper to give your end result a greenish tint. Make a copper bath with a few old pennies (from before 1982) in boiling water, or buy copper sulfate online. Copper is toxic to consume, so don't use a pot that you use for cooking and work in a well-ventilated area. Because the color is heat-set, the colors become very permanent, which is why dyed polyester clothing often doesn’t bleed in the wash as cotton does. What To Consider When Dyeing Polyester Fabric At Home

When painting, pastel colors are created when you mix a color with white paint. For example, pastel pink is made from red mixed with a lot of white; pastel green is green mixed with white, etc. Dab the stain with the white cloth repeatedly, and the dye should keep transferring from your garment onto the white cloth. Add your color remover to the water, and mix it well with stainless steel tongs. Depending on how heavy your fabric is, you can use a suitable amount of color remover as recommended by the box.Wash your fabric separately with a mild detergent, then air dry. After the fabric is dry, you can see that your color is light enough for you to now dye with the color of choice. Then, you can use a dye of your choice and follow the same steps above to dye the fabric the color that you want. Pay attention to the type of pattern your fabric has before you decide whether it’s a good candidate for overdyeing. Printed fabrics – things like floral sheets or polka-dot dresses, are usually printed (or yarn-dyed) using a pigment dye that absorbs into the fabric. When you overdye this fabric, each existing, original color will mix with the overdye. For example, if your original fabric is pink with yellow flowers that have green leaves and you add it to a red dye bath – the fabric will become red (or reddish pink) with orange flowers and muddy brownish leaves. This may or may not be the result you’re going for, so think about how the dye will mix with each individual color before you commit to overdyeing.
