| Unfortunately you should use dye.... Rit dye that you can buy at any store or professional dye from Joannes Fabric and Crafts.... Michaels also carrys it..... It is cheaper to use Rit... You can usually find Tshirts at thrift stores.. So, buy one for a buck and do some creative cutting ..... If you do dye them yourself, what you do is to mix each color in its container preferably outside.... then twist the article of clothing or fabric and tie it off with string or rubber bands and dip it............ |

| Food coloring will wash out. It may dye for a bit but not very bright. |

| Yes, it will work for a temp thing. Seeing how Easter is Sunday you can probably pick up some egg dye cheap that would work also! |
