So get your butt into gear and start dyeing!
Step 1:
Get a dyeable disc, blank whites are recommended. You can see what disc plastic takes dyes here.
Step 2:
Draw your booty. Trace with graphite on the back side. Align your image, tape the paper to the disc, and rub the lines of the image like a transfer onto the disc.
Step 3:
Paint your image. I use dye mixed with denatured alcohol and hand paint with a brush.
Step 4:
Make a clear glue bed! I started with stripes. Watch this video to learn more about clear glue beds.
Step 5:
Shake/Rotate the pan in circles so the colors begin to swirl into a whimsical design. You can go back in and blow the glue around and use toothpicks for more intricate swirl details. Check out more patterns you can make here.
Step 6:
Ta Da! Enjoy your new butt! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
