staining / dyeing polyfil

Nov 13, 2005 4 Replies

Hello all,



I have a simple question that I hope can get answered here.



I was wondering if there was anyone who knows how to stain or dye poly-fil material.



I saw a huge package of it at the craft store the other day. The only problem is that it is white. If I can get it to take a color of some sort..that would be good.



Thanks all!

Ravenseye spake thus:

Try regular old Rit dye? After all, it dyes synthetics (basically plastic).

Here is how I did it. I don't dye it. I pull the material into small clumps or balls. Hot glue them to the layout. Spray paint them black or green. Then I spay adhesive on them and sprinkle or blow ground foam over the "trees". Here is a picture of my scenery.
