-
Step 1Start by cutting your nylons just below the crotch area.
-
Step 2This is important to dying your nylons!
Soak your nylons for a half an hour in 4 cups of water and 1 cup of vinegar before you add your dye.
-
Step 3Next add your dye and turn your burner on. Wait until your water works itself up to a boil and let your nylons boil for a full 10 minutes.
-
Step 4(I don't have a picture of me doing this) But you're going to take your nylons out of the water using a spoon or whatever you have at your disposal, and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. After you have removed the excess dye you need to throw your nylons back into the dye for another 2-3 minutes.
You will now rinse, ring and dry your nylons. If you just plan on wearing them then you can stop now otherwise go on!
-
Step 5Take your two nylons and cross them like so.
-
Step 6Flip one section of your cross under the other so that they loop around each other.
-
Step 7Tye your ends shut and wear!
