You can use food coloring Grape Juice and cool aid to dye fabric.
Food coloring does NOT work on cotton but works semi well on wool canvas and silk.
You can use cool aid though and it works fairly well.
Grape juice im not to sure about though and would not be able to recommend it to somebody because i have never used it.
However actually MAKING the de your self is the best solution.
