Has anyone tried dying these with fabric dye, such as RIT?

i have not, but wouldnt see why that wouldnt work - i acutally purchased them to use as a craft - with fabric markersive dyed other things and i think that would work fine on these

I haven't tried it but I don't think I'd do that because of the number of times you'll be washing and bleaching a bib. I ordered a package of them them in White and a package in the boy colors and a package in the girl colors. Everyone loves them. I like to embroider them and give them as gifts. Terrific value!

Yes! I dyed about 50 of them last year. I used the liquid Rit. They came out great! My grandson is 6 mos old and my daughter said they are one of the best gifts she got. (We let people decorate them at the shower with fabric pens). They are washing well. The only downside is the velcro does tend to stick to everything so she fastens them and washes them all together.

I usually embroider on them, but I did actually do fabric painting on one to see how it worked, and it seemed to work pretty well. I always wash and iron them first before doing anything with them.

I did. They shrunk a little bit. Not sure if the color bleeds. The set I purchased was white.

Unfortunately the answer would be yes -- it will fade slightly. I love this dye and especially this color, but I always wash the dyed articles separately from other articles, and it does seem to fade slightly. Be sure to use salt when dying with Rit Dye because it does seem to help fabric hold the color. And even though I notice a slight fading over time, I still feel that the results are very good.

It is a long process and not especially suitable for a craft night if you want them to take home a finished product. That was my original intention too. You have to wash shirts first. Rubberband them up. (Watch the video to decide on design) Soak in a solution for 20 minutes. Apply the dye. Put shirts in plastic bags and leave overnight or longer. Then rinse excess dye out. Take off bands. Then wash. The kit is great and the shirts turn out really nice. But i only got about 8 shirts, not 15, and it takes a couple days to finish.

I am not real sure. I think you are to use hot water with the Rit, but you could give it a try with cold. I do not think it would ruin the chiffon, but might not whiten it much with cold water.

bleaching them will ruin them. and...these can only be washed in cold soapy water there for dye will not stay in plus they are black and you can't dye black red. The reason I know these things is because I have worked at a dry cleaners for 11 yrs and I wear these at work every day as well.

We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets. Have everyone decide on what design and colors they want to use beforehand. We also used some cooking grates (bought at the dollar store) over rectangular bins. Choose a color and have everyone who wants to use that color to do so with their t-shirt on the grate over the bin and collect the spill over dye back into the squeeze bottle with a funnel. Rinse grate and bins and repeat with another color. Sounds a bit overkill, but it will guarantee not running out of dye. The dye is indeed professional as my T hasn't faded one bit one year later.

I have had good luck with them so far..........only ordered recently but no complaints so far. Have done both woven and knit fabrics.

just a iron will do. I foyu ar printing on dark fabric, make sure you get the transfer for light fabric. Same for dark fabric, make sure it for dark fabric.

mine does... tho they are done in batches...so depending on the day they are made, it might be slightly different. (think dye lots...)

I washed them and then used fabric spray colors and fabric pens and the colors stayed fine. The problem was the fabric does not come out very nice. It came out wrinkled and had to be ironed. I had my Sunday school kids decorate them for an end of the year fun project. They were ok for that.

Yes. That is exactly what I did. Worked out perfect. Better than re-upholstering . It is also great if you want different colors that work for you. Just love them and was the smartest move I made.

I don't know much about tie-dying, but I think they would be ok for it. Logo is small and towards the bottom of the bags. If you tie-dyed the bags, I doubt the logo would show up much unless you were really looking for it. Hope this helps. I'm not very crafty!

I don't know. They seemed pretty soft to me. You could always wash them before dying them. I think the feedback had several comments about people who successfully tie-dyed them.

I don't think it will work! Red is a strong dye and the color remover states it won't work on synthetic fabrics. I thought I could change a royal blue hoodie to just a lighter color - it had some synthetic polyester fabric in it, but it was mostly cotton. It turned the most ugly color of orange you have ever seen in your life. It's seriously not worth your money, time, or frustration to use this product. I'm not sure what it works on, but nothing I've tried it on has worked... especially if there's some synthetic fabric lurking in the material.

Yup! You can just do your roots. Most of the colors are pretty dark so you may wanna go a couple of shades lighter.
