I found this pretty neat guide for the new Facebook Pages over on Pinterest [of course lol]. I wanted to share it with you guys since, unfortunately, it seems like we’re all going to be switching over so we may as well be armed with good information right? Makes the transition easier!
The original source was iFrame Apps.

Tip: How to Dye Buttons

by VanessaCLC on 01/05/2012

When I was heavily into scrapbooking I would have to buy buttons for my layouts and always remember thinking ‘Jeez these are expensive!’ See? Even back then I knew I shouldn’t be paying retail for things lol. Anyhoo, this easy peasy tutorial is a definite ‘must try’ for any crafter!
[I found this tutorial over on the Rit Dye blog]

Supplies Needed
  • Rit Liquid or Powder Dye: Any color or mix dye to create a custom color. Colors used in photographs: Sunshine Orange, Evening Blue, Scarlet, Fuchsia, Lemon Yellow, Violet, Apple Green, Golden Yellow

  • White Buttons

  • Measuring Cup

  • Measuring Spoons

  • Disposable Plastic Containers for dyeing buttons

  • Spoon for mixing dyes

  • Rubber Gloves

  • Plastic Table Cover

  • Paper Towels

 

Instructions
  1. Cover work surface with a plastic table cover.

  2. Decide what colors you like and prepare dye according to the basic recipe below. Liquid dyes are more concentrated than powder dyes so use half as much dye. Always test color with fabric scrap or paper towel before dyeing buttons. If color is too light, add more dye; if it is too dark, add more water.

  3. Basic Recipe: Measure and mix 1 teaspoon liquid dye or 2 teaspoons powder dye with 1 Cup HOT Water. Shake liquid dyes before measuring. Water should be about 140°F. If your tap water is not hot enough, heat some in the microwave or a tea kettle.

  4. Pour dye and water into a plastic container; stir. Make sure container is deep enough.

  5. Immerse buttons in dye solution for 2 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally and check color frequently. Remove buttons when desired color is achieved. Rinse buttons. Then wash with soap and water, rinse and dry with paper towels.
