Tie Dye

Hi everyone!

Today I want to share a project with you that is fun. quick and easy to do. It would be great to do with older kids.

Over the last while I have been experimenting with fabric and regular fabric dyes, when I got my glimmer mists I thought that it would be good to try them on fabric.

First I took 2 muslin bags.

I folded one in concertina style and wrapped elastic bands around it.

The second bag, I "pinched" the centre of and wrapped an elastic band around. This was repeated on the other side.

Then I put the bags into plastic bags

and spritzed them with various colours of glimmer mists, working them into the fabric.

I then sealed up the bags carefully, and left them overnight to soak.

The next morning I opened the bags and held the fabric bags under cold running water and then carefully removed the elastic bands. Then I washed the fabric through one more time and hung them up to dry.

A short while later they were dry.

I then filled them with stuffing, but you could use whatever you want.

Have fun creating!!!
