The lighter duty one is sew-able, and works just the same. I didn’t want to gunk up my entire dress. I had to sew my gilding into my seams, and i kept a nasty needle nearby to use just for the pieces that the gilding went through.

the heavy duty stuff (that also doubles as expensive interfacing if you mismeasured where you need it… just sayin) cannot be stitched through and WILL GUNK UP YOUR NEEDLE. I had to use the heatNbond that allowed for it. I wanted to do “fake” surface stitching on mine because altho it was a gilded gold, it still had stitching on it. Make sure you get the right HeatNBond for what you want to do.

And let me know if you want me to do more videos like this!. My HeatNBond tutorial!! ? This is how I made the gold parts in my Goddess Mercy cosplay! Its also how I made my Emily scarf, and tons of other cosplay stuff. This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.Īnd now I’m like “holy shit can i dye alpaca with this?” Let dry then rinse excess out in cold water. They will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair, flax, jute, silk and so forth. The flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best. If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair. This may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor* So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer. That rich red is only one application too.

It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool.Īdd some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye.
