It's time again to make another Girl Scout pony for my 6 year old. She's a Brownie now, so she's getting a Brownie pony. I make hers from G3s and I had rehairing them. Would it be impossible to dye light purple to brown? How would that affect the tinsel? What dye should I use, and what would be the best way to keep from dying the white pony brown?
 
Light purple will definitely dye to brown . . . I just dyed a Baby Goody Gumdrop's hair to brown. :) I let the mane hang into the pot as I held the pony, only dipping to get the very roots of the hair wet at the last minute. There is still a slight light brown stain on her ears and down her neckline, I'm afraid. I took out the tail and dipped the whole thing in with tongs.

RIT dye (clothing dye) works great and can probably be found at your local supermarket. I used the liquid version that comes in a bottle, but they also have some that comes in a pot that you stir into the simmering water.

dye doesn't really affect the tinsel, but if i were you i'd just detinsel her.
 
You can put masking fluid on the pony around her neck and ears so that she doesn't get dyed :)
