We were REALLY late on boiling and dying easter eggs, however my son doesn't seem to mind. It's the Salvador Dali in him, I guess. Since we'll have those bright colors, why not use them for our flies after the eggs?

When using easter dye, or Kool aid for that matter, is there a way to set the dye when using feathers or deer tail hair (brother gave me the tail of the stupid deer that walked in front of him on Day One of the season)?

I know to wash the feathers before dying, but shall I do the same with hair? Is there a technique after dying?
