I would like to dye burp cloths and onesies for a baby shower gift. I am assuming RIT dye would not be a good choice to use as they could be too harsh for a baby. Any thoughts on how to go about this?? I have never made natural dyes from plants and teas, but would be interested if anyone knows about this. Thank you.
Dying baby burp clothes and onesies...?
koolaid would totally work
Reply:RIT dye would work just wash everything before giving it as a gift. (Hint: after washing run your washer without clothes to make sure there is no dye left) There are natural dyes you can buy and some plants you can use. I have a resource book but do an on line search.
Reply:By the way, it should be spelled "dyeing". "Dying" means kicking the bucket, shuffling off this mortal coil, etc. It makes your question look alarming.
Reply:I wouldn't use any dyes, babies skin is so sensitive .....
Reply:RIT dye should be fine. Many mothers dye their cloth diapers and cloth wipes. Clothes already contain dyes on them as well, even newborn clothes. Just wash it again before giving it to as a gift or else it will bleed and ruin the rest of the things in her washer. And she will not be pleased!
