Dying Wool Felt with Food Dye



There are many ways to dye felt and this is one of my favorites:

Fill a large pot 2/3 full with water and put on stove (on high).
Add 1/2 cup white vinegar.
Dissolve a small amount of Wilton icing tint paste in a cup of hot water.
Add dye to pot.
Pre-wet felt in warm water and then add to the pot. Let felt simmer.
The felt will absorb most of the dye.
Remove from pot, rinse, and squeeze out excess water.
Dry in the dryer

The tint paste comes in loads of colors and is available in any craft store that carries cake decorating supplies. It is non-toxic and very easy to use.
