I'd like to dye a plush toy from white to yellowI'd like to dye a plush toy from white to yellow. Is there any way
of going about this? I'm not sure what kind of material it would be
as I haven't yet bought one to work with... but it'd probably look similar to
this:
It's really important to me that I get it right, as I want it to be a
present for someone, so if possible I want to get it done professionally. Are
there professionals that'll attempt to do this?
Any information you can give me would be a great help. Thanks in advance! This question is answered in depth on the following web page: How can I tie-dye bean bag toys or other stuffed animals? To summarize, it all depends on what fiber the outside fabric of your plush wolf toy is made of; most stuffies are covered with particularly hard-to-dye synthetics. It's easy to dye wool or mohair, or silk, cotton, or rayon velvet, but the synthetics can be a major problem. If it's polyester or acrylic, you might be able to dye with with a special polyester dye called disperse dye, but that requires extensive boiling, which might ruin the fur. Instead, you could use a good thin fabric paint like Dye-na-Flow or Dharma Pigment dyes. Or, you could find a pattern for sewing your own wolf toy in any color that you like. I'll bet that there are people out there who will sew a custom-designed plush toy. It's almost impossible to find anyone to dye anything that is made of polyester or acrylic, though. For that question, see "Where can I find someone to dye my clothing for me?". (Please help support this web site . Thank you.) Posted: Thursday - July 17, 2008 at 09:52 AM
