<p>I finally worked my way into a friend&#8217;s house with a microwave to dye some playsilks with Kool-Aid&#8230;</p>
<p>Fun, F-U-N,  -F U N . . .</p>
<p>We thought we&#8217;d dye two scarves at a time in each color, but it turned out that there was just room for one at a time.</p>
<p>And the color from the Kool-Aid was gone from the water after one silk was dyed so we couldn&#8217;t reuse it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the gist of the project: First soak all undyed silks in hot water with a dash of vinegar (we used distilled white vinegar) for half an hour.  Then for each silk, mix 2 cups water, 1/2 cup vinegar, and 3 packets of Kool-Aid in a glass bowl&#8211;the kids helped with this part.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re supposed to let it sit for three minutes, stir,Â then repeat the microwaving and sitting three times total for each silk.</p>
<div id="attachment_5516" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 518px"><a href="http://www.craftingsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/KoolAid-Silks-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5516" title="KoolAid Silks 2" src="http://www.craftingsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/KoolAid-Silks-2.jpg" alt="" width="508" height="509" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Make Kool-Aid Playsilks with Your Kids</p></div>
<p>Others had commented on how dark the silks get and I wanted to try for a lighter playsilk, so I just did the whole process once for my silks.  Rachel wanted to try two rounds of microwaving for hers, although I don&#8217;t think the color was appreciably different.</p>
