Hi there angel faces! I'm Max. I'm 21 years old girl. (She/Her). I'm an adult trying to adult, broke college student, and someone who needs to sleep for a good year or five. This is a multifandom blog that focuses on the different fandoms I love. Also...
Games: *start adding more accurate female characters, actually caring about the diversity of the characters, adding lgbt characters and actually writing romantic stories of them, showing how fucked up society can be because of ignorance and hatred, adding political arguments to make the game realistic”

Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye.
I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.”
Nope.
It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that.
That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol.
So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.
WELL THEN!
this may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor*
When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair. Potent stuff.
If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky
the flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best. they will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair, flax, jute, silk and so forth. heat the dye water so it is more potent. let dry then rinse excess out in cold water. there’s a whole system to this.
Oh my god
This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.
When people say “this is actually a good thing I am so smart” I want them to realize that the govt isn’t killing buzzfeed “reporters”, they’re killing reporters who are talking about government corruption and investigating powerful elites you fucking dummies
