You can certainly get a more even dye job with the above tips, but unless you use paint, the color will be close to what you have. I don’t know why I’m not getting notifications of replies so I’m just now seeing these. Thanks for your help! 13 hours ago, dikman said: The best way to get an even coverage is with an airbrush (even the cheapies used for cake decorating or face/body painting) should work. Just saying. I’m going to look into that & try it next time! Thank you! On 7/14/2022 at 4:02 AM, Rocky143 said: Keep in mind that a darker color will cover a lot of sins, even if it is not black. Maybe you want it to be a "happy" color. You might try a yellow-orange or yellow-green tint. Thank you!!! Quote
Members NicoleM Posted July 15, 2022 Author Members Report Posted July 15, 2022 I was actually able to salvage it! It’s not perfect by any means but it was made with love! I used Chicago screws so I can take the binder part out & line with velvet. I’m almost done ! Thank you all for all your time & tips! Quote

That came out great! I really like the way the dye colour eventually turned out, and the paint colours are wonderful. Quote

I tried to wipe done the darker areas with alcohol but that didn’t really work. I ended up using a piece of sponge to add more dye to the lighter areas & buffing really well with an old tshirt. I’d let dry them repeat a few times. On 7/18/2022 at 11:27 PM, tsunkasapa said: Very nice! I think she'll be very happy with it. I think she will too! Thank you! Quote
