how can i turn a black pencil skirt green??? i need to know before halloween please?

and where can i get the dye???

[jubilantJOSEFINE]

@wonderwoman71810 - sorry to get back to you so late, but this sounds like it might be a bit tricky to do. i would try bleaching it multiple times to get it as light as possible, then dye it green. you may need to dye it green twice. but i'm not sure, i've never tried this.

the pot didn't get ruined did it?

oh and where did you get the dye?

and uhh I'm jealous of your boyfriend if you have one, I'm assuming you do because your absolutely beautiful, just sayin

[jubilantJOSEFINE]

@jorgesun7 - nono, the pot is fine and still being used for cooking! the dye is from my local craft store (tall mouse). yes i do have one, but thanks so much, you're sweet!

....you needed to dye it black because you couldn't match things to denim?

[jubilantJOSEFINE]

@BelleCassidy - i just dislike light colored denim. it's a personal preference thing, no need to be condescending.

That intro was so cute!

[MissAlejandra88]

once the water is boiling do you turn the stove top off or do you just lower the heat and let the clothes sit?

[paligirl]

What's the name of that song you used in the intro ?

[SXTCMODE]

keep in mind that the dye adhears to EVERYTHING!! including metal, so i would strongly recommend using a pot that you will NOT BE COOKING FOOD IN after dying cloths in it. and anyone who tells you not to worry about it is completely INSANE!!!, very dangerous!, dont put dye anywhere near anything your gonna use for eating or cooking, includeing spatulas and other stirring utensils,

@TheWickyd1 Agree.

[buffpnoy14]

@honeeyjheaan with hot water again right? do i wash my garment after i dye?

[IgnoranceAlliance]

@buffpnoy14 likely use whole bottle (especially if going dark).. I don't really have enough experience to give advice other than recommending reading the bottle and watching a couple vids on youtube.. (use hot water..? salt to set dye..? wash separately from other clothes or by hand after..?) ..just do a little research and go for it.. good luck/ have fun!

[honeeyjheaan]

@buffpnoy14 yes, you do. i think it makes it easier to dye .. not sure. but you do wet it (:
