Dyeing (diapers) With Kool Aid
I am so pleased at how these turned out!!! This has been by best craftwork yet!! And it was so easy! I cannot wait to use these on Collin!!!!!! I am very proud of myself. In fact, I might remove that brown color on my wool covers and re-dye them with Kool Aid. I'm not feeling the brown now...
1. They have to be NYLON or WOOL (will not work with cotton)
2. Boil a pot of water
3. Add 1 cup vinegar
4. Stir
5. Add desired amount of Kool Aid (the little packets, WITHOUT sugar)
6. Stir
7. Reduce heat to steaming; keep at medium/low heat during dyeing
8. Add your diaper; one at a time
9. Stir and flip diaper until color is what you want (30-60min)
10. Rinse diaper in COLD water
11. Wash diapers in washing machine; warm/cold wash
12. Hang dry
If the color seems to not be 'taking', add more vinegar and increase heat a bit.

See how the dye didn't absorb into the white inner? Cool, huh?
