If you are unsure about the color mixing, you can always test a small batch of dye with a scrap piece of fabric to see if you like the result before moving ahead! How To Dye Polyester Green Acrylic paint has some helpful characteristics that make it ideal for painting on fabric. It’s a water-based, non-toxic paint that can be cleaned easily with just soap and warm water. That makes it safer for young children who just love experimenting with paint.

If you have a darker color fabric, you won’t be able to follow the same steps to make it lighter because the dye doesn’t exist in white color, and bleaching the fabric won’t help you achieve the same results.

Dyeing your fabric a different color works just like mixing paint: yellow and blue make green, orange and purple make red, etc. So, if you have a yellow fabric and want to turn it green, don’t use green dye; use blue dye instead!

What colors can you dye X fabric?

Wet your fabric thoroughly and remove any excess water. Add your fabric to the pot until the fabric is completely submerged in water, and stir thoroughly and occasionally for about 20 minutes. You will see that the color starts to become lighter and lighter, but your fabric will still look a bit darker when it is wet. Do not tumble-dry any stained clothes before you treat them, as the high heat can set the dye stain. Prepare your work area. Fabric dye is usually non-toxic, but it can stain your skin as well as anything that it touches. Using plastic to cover the working area will keep the area clean while you work with the dye.
