Can I use textile dyes? Can I use spray paint or can paint? First technique: the paint marker These markers are very easy to use, they contain water-based paint, or acrylic paint.
To dye your fur with paint markers: Simply run the tip of the marker in the direction of the fur. It may be necessary to go over the same spot several times to make the dye opaque. Feel free to work slowly, checking that the marker tip is still primed. To check this, keep a piece of paper near you and write on it from time to time to see if paint is flowing from the tip.
Let the paint dry for a few minutes. Then gently brush the fur. Here is the result after brushing: This technique allows you to make very precise drawings, or even write words on your faux fur fabric. Second technique: pastel The pastel pencils allow you to dye the fur very simply. You can also lift the pile to tint the undercoat as well, so that the color is impregnated deep down, not just on the surface.

Many companies manufacture different kinds of dye based on the fabric you will be coloring. For best results, choose a dye formulated for synthetic fabrics. Regular dye may not absorb into the synthetic fibers, or may result in patchy coloring. You can find synthetic dye in craft and fabric stores as well as online. Protect yourself and your workspace.
Dye can easily stain your skin and the surfaces in your home. To avoid this, lay plastic sheeting or several layers of newspaper over your workspace. Keep paper towels handy to clean up any drips or spills, and wear old clothes or an apron as well as rubber gloves to protect your hands. Fill a bucket with hot water and the recommended amount of dye. Choose a bucket or basin large enough for the faux fur to fit loosely in. Read the directions on the package of dye to determine how much water and how much dye to use.
Use the hottest water available from your faucet. Use a stainless steel spoon, dowel rod, or similar instrument to thoroughly combine the dye and water.
Opt for plastic or stainless steel, instead. Add a pinch of salt to the basin to help the fur absorb the dye. Any kind of salt will do, and you only need a small amount, such as 1 tablespoon 15 mL. Stir it into the dye bath until it has dissolved completely. Part 2. Soak the faux fur in hot water for 1 hour. Submerge it in a tub, sink, bucket, or basin full of the hottest water available from your faucet for 1 hour to ensure all the fibers are thoroughly soaked.
Then, remove the fur and wring out the excess water. Submerge the fur in the dye bath. Carefully place the faux fur in the basin or bucket filled with water and dye. Make sure that all parts of the fur are completely submerged in the dye bath. Allow it to soak for up to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir the dye bath and flip the fur over every 15 to 30 minutes to ensure the fabric evenly absorbs the color. Part 3. Remove the fur from the dye bath.
