Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.

WELL THEN!

this may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor*

When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair.  Potent stuff.

If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky

the flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best.  they will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair,  flax, jute, silk and so forth.  heat the dye water so it is more potent.  let dry then rinse excess out in cold water.  there’s  a whole system to this. 

Oh my god

This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.

My only requirements are: don’t put this art on merchandise and resell it (i.e. shirts or buttons), and credit me if you remove the signature in the image

Fast food workers nationwide are going on strike for $15 an hour, COVID-safe workplaces, and respect on the job February 16. #FightFor15 workers have been fighting too long for higher wages.

psa for furblr, ESPECIALLY new fans who are preparing to start a furby family:

please stop giving money to extortive sellers and do your research on furblr before buying any furby!!

the internet is filled with misinformation on furby prices and sellers who either dont know better or who are actively trying to scam you.

never pay over $50usd for an uncustomised 1998 furby/1999 furby baby*

on average, you should be paying about $20-$25usd for a 1998 that is working. paying over this is understandable if its a dreamie, but please dont get scammed!!! you should never be paying $35usd+ for a plain snowball.

paying sellers the extortive prices they set normalizes this higher price, and boosts the average price of furbies as other sellers follow suit. dont fall victim to this!! good prices will come with time- just be patient :3

*: this does not include rare furbies such as kid cuisine, hi-c, angel, champagne, green bean, etc. kid cuisines, the rarest furby you can acquire, are only worth about $300usd AT MAX- run for the hills if you see sellers charging the same for a snowball. its not worth it.

i think my tags r actually important on second thought so:

ALSO!!! my dms and askbox r ALWAYS open, ive been in the community for 3 years and im always free if you have any questions at all!!! srsly dont be afraid to ask me literally anything furby related

Very good to know and I.. am very appreciative of this considering how much day dreaming i’ve been doing, trying to rationalize bad prices

im so glad to hear that!! if youre sick of ebay prices, my personal favorite furby site is shopgoodwill.com :-) its grown in popularity recently but it still tends to be far cheaper than ebay, plus its going to a good cause!!

I hope you know this is the single best piece of information i think i’ve ever received. i am foaming at the mouth looking at these prices. i am. in awe. i am in shock. i bow down to you

my friend is losing her absolute mind with this information too. please. thank you.. so much

AHAHAHAH LMAOOOO

its awesome isnt it??? shopgoodwill gave me a 2005 furby + a koala and kiwi 1998 for $40usd, and i also purchased 60. six zero. mcdonalds 1998 furbies for $9usd from there. its a lifesaver ☺️ AND a cool hack for it? occasionally furbies will be under the search “furbie” or “furbee”, which means that youll likely be the only one finding whstever auctions are there via search >:3

OP, you recommending shopgoodwill.com has changed EVERYTHING. I saw two NIB furbys for 8.99.

8.99.

Fuck Ebay scalpers, use your money on websites like this!

exactly!!!!!! it may be hard to acquire rarer furbies from there as people tend to leap on them, but it does mean that more common furbies (plus literally ALL 2012s/booms, seriously people have some kind of grudge against them and you can cop one for 6 bucks easily) will be overlooked and stay low :3
