How I dyed my 3d Printed
Makie Doll
By Lorna Hamilton-Brown MBE
What I used
• Washing up liquid
• Bag of Makie scraps
• Dylon multi purpose dye (I used Coffee and other colours to get the
right shade)
• Vinegar
• Water
• Kettle
• Cooker
• Rubber gloves
• Pyrex Bowl (use for dyeing only)
• Saucepan
• Spoon for stirring (use for dyeing only)
• Tongs for taking pieces out of the dye
Step 1 – I removed the doll’s eyes
and wig!
Step 2 – I washed my doll
Step 3 – I dissembled my doll
Step 4 – I soaked my doll pieces
in cold water for 2 hours before dyeing.
Step 5 – I mixed the dye
• Pour 400 ml of boiling water into a Pyrex
bowl.
• Add ½ tsp of dye and stir well.
• Take your time stirring the dye until is all
dissolved. DO NOT RUSH THIS STAGE!!!
• Add 100 ml of vinegar stir well
• Pour boiling water into a large saucepan to
about 2 inches in depth. Place Pyrex bowl into
the saucepan.
Step 6 – I did a test dye on scraps
• To get the darker colour took me approx. 20 mins.
• Start timing when you put the pieces into the dye.
• Every 5 mins bring the saucepan to the boil then turn down to
a simmer straight away.
• Add more boiling water to the saucepan if need to avoid the
pan drying out.
• Continue to stir the pieces until the required colour is
achieved.
• If the colour is not right and you need to add more dye
remove doll pieces first. Mix dye until it is fully dissolved then
add doll pieces.
Step 7 – BEFORE inserting doll
pieces into dye
• Make sure the arm joints and leg joints are bent
as you place them in the dye to avoid white
joints.
• ½ way through
the dyeing
process straighten
the legs and
arms in the dye.
This will ensure the
ball joints dye evenly on
both sides, and avoid an
un-dyed joint.
Step 8 – insert doll pieces into dye
for the required time. Stir making sure
piece are covered by the dye. Half way
through straight arms and legs.
Step 9 – I put the dyed pieces into
boiled water for a few minutes.
Step 10 – Run cold water on the dyed doll
pieces until water runs clear
Step 11 – leave pieces to dry
Step 12 -Re-assemble your doll
NOTE: Legs and arms are marked left and right 
My Makie doll before and after dyeing
Right is Makielab’s current darkest skin tone
Cocoa Bean. Other dolls dyed by me 
