Black Pair
How I can dye through a pair of red jeans black?
For the purposes of costumes that I need to dye one half (a leg) of a pair of red jeans black and wondered what would be the best method for this? Put the pair in a bucket or using a machine seems that either you turn completely black couple or be neat enough for the dye in the middle and stop, make a half and half. Any ideas on how best to achieve 50/50 appearance?
Cube would be best, only half of the sauce in jeans and use a brush to get on the lines, fill the holes with paint for material, or if you're clever with a sewing machine, rip the dye leg then sew it back together, good luck
