There are many different ways to color fabric. The most common way is to soak it in a dye. The dye you use can be a commercial product, or a homemade dye made by boiling water with a color soluable item, such as berries. There are many excellent websites you can find by typing "homemade dyes" in your search box, if you need more info. Another way of coloring fabric is to paint it. Most people use a commercial fabric paint, but you can use any kind of paint you want, crayons or even marking pens. Yet another, more complicated way, is to sew or glue thread onto the fabric. This is usually done in the form of embroidery or needlepoint. Again, there are many fine websites to give you instructions on the techniques.

There are many techniques that are used. One is to use colored threads or yarns when the fabric is milled. Another is to dye the fabric with a dye. The third is to paint it or otherwise add a surface color to it, such as crayons. I have also seen fabric covered all up with colored yarn or thread embroidered or glued on. This is common with canvas, and Aida cloth.

You should actually soak it in liquid nitrogen first for the best results but since you cant exactly find that in the freezer section at your everyday grocery store, you should soak it in water or vinegar
