One of the ponies I've recently acquired is a G2 Ivy beanie. I really like her- she's very cute, and one of my favorite characters! She's not in perfect shape- her tush tag has faded completely, along with her pink hair. I'm thinking about repinking her and somehow marking the fact on her tush tag.
As for dye method, I'm thinking about going with Kool-Aid due to the cheap price. Prepared strawberry lemonade Kool-Aid is the exact color of Posey's pink, which I assume was her original color. What is the exact method here?
I'm not exactly sure how to mask off her body to avoid staining, but I was planning on cutting a slit in a sandwich baggie and Scotch-taping on either side of her mane/tail. Do you think that would suffice?
Also, what tool would be best for marking her tag? Sharpie would bleed, acrylic paint would crack... I'm not sure if I have any non-white fabric paint, either. That would be the best, but if there are any easy household alternatives, I'd love to hear them!
Finally, what are the length/width of the ribbons she originally came with? I'm not going to go super out of my way to replace them, but I think I have some ribbon on hand that would work really well.
Thanks to anybody who can help! Ivy, in her 1998 McD's incarnation, was my very first pony, and her colors are gorgeous. I'd really like to see my beanie restored to her former glory!
