Dyeing Stuff. | the RED edition

Does anyone know the correct way of doing this?
...because I sure failed...

This is going to be a short post, because while I get wordy when I am successful, when I fail, I prefer to be quite brief.

I bought this purse hoping I could dye the stains away.

 It totally didn’t work.

I bought this dye with the intention of dyeing the stains away.

It totally didn’t work.   

However, I bought it 90% off at Ollies, so for 27 cents it wasn’t too much of a loss.

I filled my sink with (the recommended) hot water and a bit of red dye.

It didn’t dye the purse, but it sure did dye my sink!

Don’t worry, a few good soakings of dishwasher detergent and scrubbing by yours truly solved that little problem.

I let the purse sit for 30-60 minutes as recommended.

Perhaps it needed more time?

 

Anybody want a purse?

On the upside, I also threw these coffee filters into the dye and made some flowers which I like quite well.

Was it worth it?

No.    Cleaning the sink was NOT fun. 

Yes.  It only cost me 27 cents at Ollies.

No.    Cleaning the sink was NOT fun.

Yes.     I now know how to dye things.

No.    Cleaning the sink was NOT fun!
