I dyed my tots bots... I now have lovely, flamingo pink nappies!!

[EnchantedWithEdwardCullen]

They turned out fabulously, I thought the labels and 'tots bots' tag would be buggered but they just look normal.

I love em!

I even dyed a yellow onne and a green one to see if it would take and I can't tell which ones they were over the previously white ones!

I think I'll have to do the rest of the rainbow ones now

lush!

was going to ask if it was deliberate but it clearly was!! what a good idea!!

Lol, yes.

I used dylon washing machine dye.

They are 2nd hand so were a bit grey so i thought I'd try this,

I'll put a pic of them on my profile in a bit

I need to see pics, im very

You should do it!

a £4.99 dye does 6 nappies 'officially' but id say you could do 10 easily with one dye, maybe 12.

nice idea.

i might do this as my size 2s are very grey and need to do my 3rd child too...

I love dyeing nappies

I might do the remaining ones another colour...

ooooh!

Procion dyes are fabulous - so many options....

thanks flame,

i love the leaf green they do!

DDs nursery is pink and green

pink tots

• My DD1 would love that colour!

They look really good.

Fabulous.

were there 5 rainbows originally?

No 2 were rainbows, 1 green, one orange.

Dunno which they are though, rest were white.

ooh odd - some seem to have mroe polyester in em than others

That reminds me of a lovely picture I saw where someone had dyed her Motherease nappies all the colours of the rainbow. They just looked brilliant and I bet it covered up those unshiftable stains.

I was always really proud of this set - nappies and top dyed to match the wool for the trousers

Actually flame you are right!

was going to just do 2 but then threw the other orange ones in!

Awww i LOVE those pants!!!

I asked if there were any mumsnetters that could make me a pair last night... spooky!

those are pixieknits. her and seahorse slacks are looovely

nappies look great EWEC; I've got some green and yellow rainbow bots so might give it a go with them just for the fun of it. I just died some of DDs pink muslins a lovely bright blue for the new baby. They look pretty good too.

Flame, oh nappy dyeing expert, what would happen with fleece lined nappies like bimbles? would the fleece stay white, or go a fetching shade of grey?

oh, and I might be able to do something with the knitted longies. I was thinking of doing some for the DCs, and am researching the best yarns and where to get them at the minute.

are the longies hand or machine knitted flame?

Sounds cool - bet colour-coding by family would help nurseries/child minders too. Am planning to do DS's vests etc as white is so dull & impractical.
