How to: Make custom color buttons

[Cuttah]

This is real easy.

1st Get some clear am all rubber buttons.


2nd Go to you local grocery store and shoplift a box of RIT fabric dye whatever color you want your buttons.

3rd Make a real strong mix of dye. Make sure you use hot water so the dye all dissolves.

4th let your buttons soak 20-45 minutes. Depending how dark you want the color.

5th Allow to dry thoroughly and enjoy your new buttons.


I made blue turned out excellent. If you make any other colors post pics.
