A lot of people use them for playing around and for kids crafts because they're non-toxic and easy to find. However, they're not as light-fast as professional acid dyes, the colors aren't as repeatable, and although they may seem cheaper on the surface, when you compare how much fiber can be dyed with a given amount of Kool-Aid, they're much more expensive than regular acid dyes.<br /><br />Still, it'd be a fun weekend/summer project to do with the boys!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973984089001877006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650114886879153701.post-30362135554154392272011-02-01T15:00:34.993-05:002011-02-01T15:00:34.993-05:00That binder notebook is a fantastic idea for keepi...That binder notebook is a fantastic idea for keeping those in order.
