I need to dye pom poms, which are acrylic, in hot pink and turquoise colors

Message: I need to dye pom poms, which are acrylic, in hot pink and turquoise colors. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about it?

Probably not. What colors are the pompoms to begin with, and are they washable? 

If they are white and if they can tolerate simmering in a dyebath at 150 degrees F. (65 degrees C.), you could use Disperse Dye, such as is often used for polyester. Otherwise, see How to Dye Acrylic with Basic Dye.
