101 Uses for Rit Dye

Use #54 is “Dyeing Buttons.” Dyed buttons can be used to create holiday ornaments, make colorful jewelry, accent scrapbook pages or dress-up a tired shirt.  This use recently came alive in a video prepared by “tbi” for airing on cable TV networks.  In this video you’ll see how to dye buttons in just minutes.  Be sure to start out with white buttons made out of nylon.  If you raid your grandmother’s button jar, you may not know.  So just give it a try.  The plastic buttons will remain white, but that’s part of the fun!  For the complete tutorial on making this Dyed Button Cuff Bracelet.  Click here.  To see how easy it is to dye buttons for making holiday ornaments, click here.
