My sister and I took my futon pad out in the yard early in the morning resting it across three plastic saw horses. We used squeeze bottles full of fabric dye and water mixed 1:5, dripped dots, squiggles, lines and other graffiti all over it. Let it set for thirty minutes, then we took the hose to it and rinsed the pad until all water ran clear. We left it to dry for two days, and moved it inside when we were sure it was dry completely. We used navy, burgundy, and forest green with small bits of harvest gold. I got a lot of comments and compliments on it. (Please understand, we did this in Texas, where we were pretty sure there would be no rain.) I also discovered that the full size, fitted sheets with deep side "pockets", makes a pretty inexpensive cover for them.
