Instructions
- Cover work area with plastic table cover and have paper towels handy to protect against any possible spills. Gather supplies.
- Prewash jeans, rinse and leave damp.
- Wearing rubber gloves, mix four tablespoons of Rit All-Purpose Liquid Dye with one cup of very hot water. Pour solution into a small squeeze bottle. Repeat with complementary colors. All-Purpose Purple and Petal Pink were used in this project.
- Cover a pan with shaving cream.
- Smooth with your hands or a spatula.
- Drip dye all over the shaving cream.
- Swirl the drops with a stick or a pencil.
- Place jeans gently on the shaving cream.
- Lightly apply pressure to smooth.
- Let the jeans sit for one to two minutes.
- Slowly lift the fabric from the shaving cream.
- Scrape off excess foam.
- Rinse with cold water.
- We strongly recommend transferring the dyed fabric to a container with Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative. It enhances the color, increases color retention and prevents dye from bleeding into the white areas. Follow these instructions.
- Rinse in cool water until water runs clear.
