You can use Rit Dye :)
For all practical purposes only natural fibers will take a dye. Acrylic and poly fabrics are made with the color in the fibers before the fabric is woven. The color is part of the structure. Rit Dye does have a DyeMore product that will dye some synthetics but you have to maintain a very high temp for 30 minutes or more and some fiber will not withstand that heat. good luck
Two words - fabric paint! There is a substance you can buy at J Micheals that will turn any acrylic paint into fabric paint. Generally you are thinning acrylic paint down with an acrylic medium. The curtains will not be as soft but how often do we wrap ourselves in our curtains anyhow?
