The colors chosen for the project are a little underwhelming, but it does put a big lightbulb in your head. Not just because the dye used to color these Wii straps are just the regular old Rit dyes you can get at any fabric store and some grocery stores, but because the dye actually dyes the plastic too! I would have definitely struggled with that before even trying to dump the whole thing into the pot. Kind of makes me want to wrap my DS in rubber bands and see if I can't turn it into that Grateful Dead hippie swirl.
