SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Travel pouch (Cotton or Linen)
- Rit® All-Purpose dye, coral
- Container for dye
- Pom poms
- Tacky glue
- Salt
- Plastic gloves
- Plastic table cover
- Measuring cup
DIRECTIONS:
- Cover table with plastic. Gather supplies.
- Prewash pouch, rinse and leave wet. This will help to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption.
- Add four cups of very hot tap water. Make sure there is enough water for your pouch to move freely in the container.
- Wearing rubber gloves, add 1/2 bottle of well-shaken Rit All-Purpose Dye in coral. To enhance the color, add 1/2 cup of salt. Stir well.
- Test color by dipping a paper towel into the dyebath. If color is too light, add more dye. If color is too dark, add more water.
- Add wet pouch to dyebath. Stir slowly and continuously for 15 minutes.
- When desired color is achieved, remove from dyebath. Fabric will look darker when wet and will dry lighter.
- Rinse in cool water until rinse water begins to run clear.
- Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
- Before adding your pom poms, iron your pouch. Then, with a small dab of tacky glue, adhere the poms to your pouch and lay flat to dry.
