Dying with koolaid

Has anyone ever tried koolaid as a fiber dye?

 

I don't know. I made a tye dye shirt in school in the 70s in some art class. I have no idea what the ink was made of though.

Gotta pat myself on the back because that shirt came out looking really cool, lol. I wish I still had it today.

 

I dunno try google

 

Have any pictures of the shirt?

Googled this...



Some people do it well.

 

No, but I'm going to visit my Mom next week (half a world away/350 miles) and I'll ask her if she has a photo of it.

 

Nice! If 350 miles is half a world must be a small world Great timing.

 

sounds like a colorful way to die.. and a tasty one too..

 

Yes, it's a small world after all. :sunny:

 

Look what I found!!!

 

oh geeze this reminded me of some doilies i used to suck on...i think my grandmother used sugar to stiffen them up

 

Seems most of the color would wash out.... How are you going to set the dye?

 

Wizardy I suppose.

I was expecting this thread to be about the poisoned punch cults make.

 

Here's a tutorial on dying feathers with koolaid... Don't see why it wouldn't work for fibers. And no it doesn't bleed.

The band name and all of these fantastic colors make me happy inside:daisy:

 

Every time I read the title of this thread, it makes me think of Jonestown.
