The depth of colour will depend on how long the lace is boiled or steeped. Put 1 teaspoon of undiluted dye into a jug and add 250mls of water (the solution will look weak-the colour will intensify with heat). Place your lace (or any other item you required dyed) inside the jug and then enclose the jug in a plastic carry bag tied loosely at the top. Place in a microwave for 2 minutes on high, bringing it to the boil.
Remove and carefully untie the plastic bag. Rinse lace with water until water runs clear.
Dry naturally.

2) STOVE TOP METHOD

You will need: A stainless steel or enamel pot at least 2 litre capacity Eye-dropper or small medical measuring cup

Put 1 teaspoon of dye in the pot. Add 250mls of water this solution will look very weak the colour will intensify with heat. Place your lace (or any other item you required dyed) into the pot and let simmer until the desired colour is achieved.
Rinse lace until water runs clear. Dry naturally.

3) DIRECT METHOD

You will need: A fine point paint brush A small china or plastic cup (an egg cup is ideal)

This method is used when dying polyester/nylon motifs or separate flowers on strips of lace, braid, etc. Heat a small amount of undiluted dye in a china or plastic cup to almost boiling point. Using a fine brush dab on to individual flowers and leaves.
Dry naturally or with a hairdryer

4) STEEP METHOD (TO SOAK)

You will need: Plastic jug/container 1-1.5 litre capacity Eye dropper or measuring cup Plastic carry bag

When using synthetic pearls, plastic buttons, beaded fringe (composite not glass) and other synthetic embellishments best results may be obtained by bringing the dye to the boil and allowing your pearls or buttons to steep for a few hours or even overnight.
(To test colour for beaded fringe try 1 bead until you have obtained the perfect colour). Beaded fringe (composite) try ratio 1 part dye to 2 parts water.

Ozepol can be diluted with tap water for a lighter shade. You can also mix colours for a desired effect or add the colour “Antique Gold” as a toner. Black and brown can also be used as toners. For example: 2 parts pink plus 1 part black = Dusty Pink.

Remember to experiment, enjoy and practise. Keep a pen and paper handy to write down your colour recipes.
