    You can use food coloring; use 8 drops per 1/2 cup of water. There are tutorials online for tie-dyeing with food coloring.

    Do I have to use vinegar if I'm tie dyeing with food coloring?
    Community Answer
    No, you don't. I tie dyed my shirt and I just let it sit for over 24 hours.

  • Question
    After tie-dying several t-shirts, and finishing the final rinsing step, can I put all the shirts in the washer at the same time?
    Community Answer
    You can put them all in at the same time, but you run the risk of having the colors bleed. Also, if there is too much dye in your washer at one time, it could stain the washer.

  • Question
    I used crayola markers to color a cap, and I want to tie dye without using alcohol. Is it possible?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but if you put in it the wash it will not only stain other clothes, the color will fade away.
