The eye paint doesn't take dye well, so if you're doing pastels or pale dye you don't need to do much. However, if you're worried, you can use matte mod podge to mask them off. (Just fill in entire eye-area with thick matte modpodge) Once it dries, you can dye safely. After dyeing, you can melt the mod podge away by putting soaked tissue over it & leaving it wet that way for hours. When it's ready to come off, the modpodge should look white/wrinkly. If it all doesn't peel up when you pull it, use another tissue and soak it more. It's important to weaken it with soaking so it won't damage the eye paint/even though it takes long for soaking it off. (I ought to do a video about this...thank you for asking!)
@@bezoticallyyours83 Red is the most volatile color of dye. It's the most likely to stain and the most likely to bleed, so covering the eye is probably a good idea with this color, above all others. After doing the dye, even if you vinegar/ice bath probably don't let other ponies touch that one for a long time/like can't leave any pressed next to that one.
@@ahorseofeverycolor8932 I've finally gotten the courage to dip dye her today. I watched your video again before I did. Thank you so so much for your tutorial.
Amazing tutorial! You are so talented!
Your pony is stunning. Great job ! It looks really easy to do and you've made the instructions really clear. ^^ Thanks !
Have a great day !
Oh she looks wonderful! 💞 I can't wait to grab one and do this. Thanks.
These videos are fun to watch you should make more!
I have a question please? If you plan to do a full dye job, how do you keep the eyes from becoming stained?

@@ahorseofeverycolor8932 Thank you for your answer. :) I plan on doing a deep red. The mane is in, so hopefully I won't screw up the tinsel.

Heh. I guess I do re-tailing backwards by pulling the hair through first and then adding the ziptie. Works though.
Rehairing a mane looks tough.
Where do you find those ponies at?" too cool ;3
