How to Hand Paint Yarn

So this next one I have for you isn't so much a craft in itself but more like a way to make your crafts better. Now that summer has come on full blast I have found myself wanting more vibrant colors  in yarn. The only problem is that these neon colors that I'm looking for can be much more expensive than your normal white or pink. To solve this I have found another online tutorial but this time its hows to paint your own yarn. My one little tip for this is watch the video once through before you start this project. Another little tip is they say gloves are only if you want them but I have two stained hands that are screaming at you that they are so NOT optional. My last tip to you is that if you want one solid color then buy another thing of food coloring because you will need alot of the coloring. Again if the link at the bottom doesnt work then go to youtube and type in How to: Hand paint yarn. Again there will be a few choices but chose the one posted by allfreecrochet. This fun little project is like finger painting with yarn and can turn out really cool. Just have fun with it. This isnt an exact science so just do what ever you want with it. HAVE FUN!!!! Please don't be shy wist the coments and if you have and questions about this or anyother projects I would love to hear it.
Hope you enjoy your beautiful hand painted yarn
Bye!!!
Alex :D
