I've always wanted to try rust dye but thought it was a difficult process. The staples are a great idea and I can't wait to try this process! Thanks very much for sharing.
Rusty grungy goodness!!! Love rusting things! Will have to try pins and staples .. great idea! Thank you for sharing yet another awesome technique 😊❤️👏
Hi Aimee, I did watch this vid when it was first out, and had to give it a go once again. You did an amazing job on this, and I find the scrubby pads an intriguing idea to try. Thanks so much for all of your shares.
So, are you using straight vinegar? Or mixed with water? Shouldn't you wash these afterwards to get rid of the vinegar? I feel that the vinegar might destroy the fiber if left on.
Just found your channel! You mention salt bath? Dry salt or salt water? Will the items have a strong vinegar smell? Thank you! I am binging your videos.
I just finished your amazing Magpie Journal workshop! So amazing!! I did have a question about this process. Will these materials have a strong smell of vinegar in my books? Or should I launder before placing in my journal? Love your work!!!
Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed the course. To neutralize the vinegar smell you can prepare a salt bath with a bowl, water and a couple tablespoons of salt. dip your rusted pieces into the bath and air dry.
I tried this yesterday....Do you take the staples out afterwards? And I also rinsed one that had a lot of vinegar on it and it rinsed most of the color with it, I'm guessing not to rinse?
Hi! I did not take the staples out on some of my pieces and they look really cool either way. If I rinse I use a bowl of water and a couple big tablespoons of salt. Just dip the rusted fabric in quickly and set out to dry.
I would only use this technique in pieces that do not need to be laundered. There are other techniques that stabilize the rust and would be better suited for different applications. This is a purely experimental technique. A beginners approach.
Great tutorial! Thank you!!! I'm just curious whether you have any advise on large pieces of fabric. I have several sheets that I would like to use in rag rugs of different techniques. I don't need any fancy designs, just an overall dye. Maybe it would work best with the strips torn already. 🤔
You could achieve a rust dye effect on a larger piece of fabric by using a tub. Just throw all the ingredients in together and let soak. I would then make sure did the salt soak at the end to set the rust and keep it from fading.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial ❤️
I didn't realize you could rust dye with things that weren't already rusty!! This is totally on my to-do list for the weekend! Thanks for sharing 😊

Just a tip on rust dye-best to leave outside if you can-rust process is airborne & can rust other things around the pan or in the room.
Another wonderful video..you are amazing with your ability to create and share.❤️🇨🇦❤️

I am very excited to try this! Thank you for all the tips! Marnel
You share a name of a family member of mine. Definitely caught my attention! 😆 Had to check out your video. Glad RUclips threw you into my path.
Loved this video.. just starting this whole rust dyeing thing.. so fun 👏🥰
Excellent video and demo; thank you for sharing this with us.
Love your video❤️
I love rust dyeing.... tfs, for some reason I’d never thought of using staples!
Fabulous fun!! Did this a few weeks ago. The staples are a great idea. Thanks for sharing. 💕
Wow Aimee your videos are the best! Always!❤️
Thank you for sharing your technique❤️
Fun video. TFS Blessings.
What was in the spray bottle you used?

I just found you and loving your videos. What do you do with all these fabrics? Would love to see videos on how you use them.
Can you wear clothing made with cloth that has been rust dyed?
Fantastic!!
Very beautiful!@

@@aimeebishop9851 thank you so much ☺️💕
You need a SODA bath to neutralize the vinegar. Salt is not alkaline enough. Look at saltwater on iron at the coast.
I'd like to try this with paper. Maybe just laying the objects on top and in between layers of paper to dye.
I tried this yesterday....Do you take the staples out afterwards? And I also rinsed one that had a lot of vinegar on it and it rinsed most of the color with it, I'm guessing not to rinse?

Thank you so much for replying!
Are these fabrics washable? Or are they "only" to be used in an artificial way?
I would only use this technique in pieces that do not need to be laundered. There are other techniques that stabilize the rust and would be better suited for different applications. This is a purely experimental technique. A beginners approach.
Is it only vinegar or vinegar with water? 🤔
I used straight vinegar in my spray bottle.
