Dye Rug Diy

Test your dye on an inconspicuous area.

Dye rug diy. Everything else i already had at home and i would imagine that most other people do too. Mix a small amount of dye at a time to ensure that the dye is hot when you use it. Method 1 of 3. Also make sure that you have a funnel and bottle with spray.

If it isn t dark enough make another dye bath with one and a half times the dye you used in this bath and soak for up to another 30 minutes until your color is achieved. Do not dye your carpet if it is made from acrylic polypropylene or polyester the fiber won t absorb the dye properly. Carpet dyes are acid dyes and typically must be kept hot to be effective. Leave the rug in the dye bath for up to 30 minutes stirring the water constantly.

In response to our recent post about alexandra wentworth s dyed rug profiled in elle decor the mother of an apartment therapy reader was kind enough to send in her own step by step diy version for us my daughter forwarded this post referring to the alexandra wentworth rug to me because this spring i had dyed a small rug to cover some stains. The only items i had to buy for this diy project were the rit dye and the scotchgard. These products are easy enough to get hold of in stores.
