Dying Feathers with Kool Aid for Archery

Dying feathers with kool-aid is extremely simple and effective. It only really requires two steps... mixing a dye bath and heating it up. The molecules responsible for the color in kool aid bond quite well to the proteins in feathers. They'll also bond well to other natural materials.

im looking to make a traditional native headdress how long does this dye last and does it wash out with humidity/rain

[@AustinKy2323]

[@Felkins]

Does the degrade the water resistance of turkey feathers? Thanks!!

[@riccoratzo]

Will it keep the color in rain?

[@carolinagreenhead1]

Dude, where do you come up with this stuff lol? Awesome tip btw.

[@DIYSportsman]

+carolinagreenhead Thanks, I've seen this one floating around online in a couple places. I think fly fishermen were the first to fugure it out.

[@MyREDTAIL]

Would the Grape & the Cherry KOOL AID Work for the same colors also.? Like Purple & Red etc.?

[@DIYSportsman]

+MyREDTAIL Yea they should

[@rhandadormeus6818]

Can’t you just heat the water prior to adding the dye and vinegar….

[@DIYSportsman]

Yes, you can. The main thing is just allowing the feathers to soak in a hot bath with those ingredients.
