Then place the ten face masks in the soda ash bath and let them sit for 20 minutes. The soda ash makes the dye a brighter and more vibrant finish.
In the meantime, mix up the dyes with warm water. Shake them for one full minute and then let them sit for 15 minutes. Shake again before using.

Then remove them and spray them off with the hose to remove any excess dye. Carefully clip off the rubber bands and zip ties and continue spraying them until the water runs clear. This can be done inside in the sink, but outside is so much more fun.
