Can i use watercolors to dye a shirt ?

i want to dye a shirt , my art teacher supplied me with the watercolor liquid paints she said it would work , i want to know if it's true.

Well, sure, it will workuntil you wash the shirtWater colours are temporary, in that they dissolve in water, and can be washed outYou may sometimes get a stain remaining because of some of the dyes used in the paints (especially red or black), but that is only a colour on the surface of the yarns, not insidePaint (any kind of paint), when dried, will stick to fabric and everything elseYou know that, if you ever got some on anything accidentallyThat is not the same thing as dyeing, which must get inside the fibres, not only sit on the outsideAnything will colour the outside - nail varnish, magic markers, liquid paper, etc- but that is not dyeingYou may sometimes use these to just add a small spot of colour where you need it, but you would never do a whole shirt with that! The only way for you to know is to do it! That is why they teach you in the course you took (you DID take a course, didn't you?) to always do a sampleYou have a small piece of the material you are going to use, and following the same procedure as you would use, try dyeing your sampleWhen it is washed and dried, take a look at itIf you are happy with the result, then go aheadIf not, then find a better wayIt's just that easy.

The Holocaust Museum is very interesting and it is free to get inIt would take you about 3 hours to go through the whole thing.

Smithsonian Museum, Air/Space Museum, Holocaust Museum, Whitehouse

The big three things are museums, monuments/memorials, and working government buildingsThe Smithsonian Air and Space and American History museums are nice For memorials, I think that the Jefferson, the Lincoln, and the Franklin DRoosevelt Memorial Park which is much overlooked, are my favoritesThe capital building and the White House are good if you can get ticketsIn the US, we contact our congressman for ticketsI am not sure what you do if you are visiting from overseasPerhaps you should contact the US Embassy where you liveAgain, since I have never had to do that, I don't really know.

I live about 4 hours from DC in Virginia and I've taken many day trips thereDefinitely see the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of American History, Air/Space Museum, the National Gallery of ArtYou can walk along the Mall and see all the MonumentsI like the Holocaust Museum but when I left there a felt very drained b/c it was so overpoweringThe walls are grey and I just felt drained of all my energy after that and b/c it is so emotional as wellIf you do have the extra time go to Arlington Cemetery and see the tomb of the unknown soldierYou can get a trolley to carry you around the cemetery so you don't have to walkHave fun!! OH and make sure you wear comfortable shoes b/c you'll do a lot of walking
