I bought Petal Pink Rit Liquid Dye at the craft store, meaning to dye my ponies sometime this week, and I came home from work today and my mom surprised me and did it for me!

Liquid Rit Dye in Petal Pink
Color bowl and color brush (these are hairdresser’s supplies, so if you can’t get one easily I’m sure some other paintbrush and plastic bowl will help, but be careful as it will stain them)
Mascara wand (a clean one!)
Plastic gloves (so you won’t get dye your hands!)
Hot water (my mom heated it up with a keurig)
Tinfoil (to lay them down on after you dye them)
And lastly…ponies that you want to repink!

loginSo what she said she did was that she made 8oz of hot water out of the keurig and put two dime-sized amounts of Rit Dye in the color bowl. She then used the color brush to carefully brush the dye onto them, and when she got near the roots, she switched out her brush to the mascara wand to get the roots done without getting dye on them. She had acetone and q tips available just in case of a spill, but she didn’t need them!
She first started with G3 Pinkie and G1 Up, Up, and Away to make them a darker pink (I know they aren’t supposed to be this dark, but she thought they would look good darker since their dark bodies would contrast, because the water was still hot, making the dye stronger. I think it was a great idea! As the water cooled, the dye color became lighter, so she did the lighter ponies like Desert Rose.
She then laid them down onto tinfoil with their hair spread out away from their bodies to dry and so the dye wouldn’t get onto their bodies. How cute is she modeling how she did all this for you guys!
We based our technique on an old archived one from the Arena!
I just wanted to share!
My ponies are so happy!

I have a custom MLP coloring book that Gothic Sugar made. I make copies of the pages and then color them. I try to color the ponies accurately.
