How to: Dye carpets

Well ive done this before and yes its simple but maybe some didnt know about the wonders of Rit Dye.

What I used
2packages of riy dye 1.99 each black
any local fabric store even walmart or a supermarket should carry it
Sponge
rubber gloves
hot water
bucket

Ive used this before on my old eclipse and it lasts no matter how much you step on it, florida heat doesnt bother it
people used this back in teh day to dye shirts and stuff

Basically i just took hot water and put it in a tea pot, got it near boiling (you have to put your hand in there so making it super hot doesnt help

2 cups per bag of dye, i used a little extra so i could do all the carpet
says 3 yards per bag

I just put it in a bowl mixed, put my gloves on dipped my sponge and i blooted it on the carpet and rubbed it in

i used my fingers to get down and dirty in there

I think im going to let it dry and pick some more up tom, becuase i still have to do my floor mats i got half of one done and the whoel carpet
you dont really need to do all of the carpet since most if covered but I did anyways

here are the pics, sorry for bad quality, it looks better in person

pics to come, my host is being stupid
