My first dye-Go Colts!

[zud00]

Thanks to vettekrazy for the wonderful tips. This is my first dye and I am pleased with the results. It is a used Pro Leopard. I had to use navy blue rit dye since they didn't have any royal blue so I only left it in the water for about 15 seconds.

Well I thought I'd try dyeing again so I took my old ugly Starfire and came up with this quick dye. The star I drew on with a red sharpie. I know it's not that great, but it looks cooler than it did.

I like the Colts disc - I keep meaning to try this (dyeing - not being a Colts fan :) ) - but I never seem to get to it...

Doing the single color was super easy. I plan on doing more simple design dyes with just single colors. It's fun to personlize your discs.

Oh, and being a Colts fan is definitely easier than being a Packers fan!:D

so i've never tried dying a disc and i was just curios about what kind of dye you use and where you got it?

[zud00]

I used liquid rit dye. I bought it at Target and it was in with the laundry detergents.

Good job

[zud00]

Thanks guys. I am already thinking of what to do next to some of my other discs.

I also like the second disc. I am almost as addicted to dyeing the discs as I am throwing them. There are very few discs in my bag that are not customized.

i'm guessing you had to have started out with a white disc on that one? then orange and then blue? trying to figure out the technique...

vettekrazy-what are the steps to doing a 2 color dye like in the bears disc. I really like that disc and wouldn't mind making one similar since I also like the bears.

[vettekrazy]

Basically you cut out 2 images one of each color. Just take your time in laying out the contact paper on the second color - I did start out with a white disc.

This was one of my first dye jobs, you can tell some of my lines are pretty wide, I did not use transfer tape on it - I think that makes all the difference when it comes to applying the image to the disc.
