I have two identical pairs of jeans both tan coloured. I want to dye one black and the other red. Please tell me simply, slowly and step by step absolutely from the beginning how this is done for both colours. I have never done anything like this before and it is extremely important that I don't ruin the jeans. They are ever-so-slightly stretchy if that makes a difference and the cloth is quite thin compared with usual denim.

All you need to do is buy some dye. You can get hand dye or a kind that you simply put in a washing machine with whatever you want to dye. Both kinds are made by a company called 'Dylon'.
I am not going to tell you how to do it as you get comprehensive instructions with the kits. Honestly, it is really easy.

Easiest way is with dylon machine dye. You also need a bag of salt to set the colour.you put the jeans, dye & salt in the machine & take them out when finished. Costs about £5 for each pack. The box has excellent instructions. You can buy in woolies & other shops

They promote fabrics dye at craft shops like JoAnns or Hancocks fabrics and that is plenty more cost-effective than hair dye. Plus, it has something they call mordant in it that facilitates the dye stay interior the cloth truly of washing out truly actual. you should bleach a pair of sunshine rinse shorts and then dye them purple. yet, once you bleach them then run them via the washer to be tremendous confident all the bleach is out earlier demise them. good success!! : }

You can get dye cubes in a hardware store. You put the cube in with the clothes in your washing machine and half an hour later they are done. I've done it a couple of times. Just follow instructions on the packet of dye.

Okay, not trying to be mean or anything... but why not just buy a pair of jeans that are black? Just go back where you buy detergent and they have all kinds of clothing colors back there, I've seen them back by there before... The instuctions are on the back I'm sure...

I would say buy the dye first and read how to use it.
