I really like your ideas about the baggie for dyeing and about the mesh bag for laundering the dyed buttons. There's wisdom in dyeing more than one type of button: you never know how the dye will take on different button materials, especially if they're not pure white to start with.

I was wondering about dyeing shell buttons as I needed some square, hard to find anyway, in a particular color so I thank you for your tip

Great idea! I'll keep this in mind for future button needs. This sounds easy and not a big fuss.

WHAT a good idea--I have wondered about dyeing these buttons too! I bought that same bag of buttons. Nice to know we now have so many options! Carla

When I worked in the sampling department of a childrenswear manufacturer, we dyed all our buttons with Rit dye. We used white plastic buttons which we bought in bulk and we kept a notebook with a sample and the exact formula. We used a deep fryer with water instead of oil, and boiled them for a while, which set the colour. I like your method, though, there's much less to clean up.
