Dye Room Session - Cable Ties


Its offical, Im crazy in love with cable ties! They doo so much in the construction of a carnival piece and on top of that they can be dyed THE most amazing colours. Using kemtex dysperse dyes designed for synthetic materials amazing colours can be achieved and cable ties give great height and movement to a costume!
4 Colours I will be using with the children. Bottle Green, Royal Blue, Lincoln Green, Lemon Yellow. 
Cable ties in kemtex will absorb the colour with in approx. 20second (remember to add salt). When I was dyeing a my 200 cable ties for the school I found it useful to have all the dyes in pans, this meant I could mix and match if and when I wanted to create dip dyed cable ties containing 2 or more colours. This also meant I had a large range of different colour effects among the cable ties.
