The post How to Tie-Dye – The Best DIY Tie-Dye Ideas appeared first on And Then Home.

There’s a couple of key things to keep in mind – only use natural fabrics as they take the dye waaaay better than man-made fibers, and if you want a bold pattern ignore most tutorials and dip dry fabric into the dye. In my first attempt I tried to dye a wet tea towel but the water soaked up the dye and I ended up with a completely orange tea towel.

I couldn’t be happier with my second attempt though! I LOVE the bright bold colour and unique patterns that emerged. Another great thing about this technique is that no two towels will ever look the same, you get a new pattern every time. They would definitely make great gifts (Mother’s Day right around the corner…) and since you can do them in any colour under the sun, you can easily personalize them to anyone’s kitchen. This is a DIY I will encourage anyone to try – please share your projects with us, we’d love to see it!

What you’ll need:

• Plain white cotton tea towels
• Fabric dye
• Gloves
• Elastic bands
• Bucket

Fold your tea towels. For the first towel, I folded it in a wide accordion (about 4”), then starting at the bottom, fold up into a triangle. Continue making triangles until the entire towel is folded. Don’t worry if the triangle isn’t perfect! Secure with elastics (or in my case twine – I forgot to pick up elastics)

For the second towel, I folded it in a slimmer accordion (about 2”) and left it in a long rope shape. Secure with elastics.

Dip the towels one at a time into the dye (wearing gloves). Dip one side and then flip and dip the other side. I held the towels in the dye for about a minute or so. Don’t fully submerge the towel – dip it in and let the dye run through the folds.

Let the towels sit folded for about 10 mins and then remove the elastics. Spread them out on a drop cloth or clothes line to dry and you’re done!

The post Retro and Trendy Tie Dye Tea Towels appeared first on And Then Home.

Perfect, now the design. Something colourful is a must, something exciting and trendy would be great. I googled for a while (my little break quickly turning into an extended break) and found it. A geometric print tablecloth, covered in colourful triangles. A fun, easy design. So I got started. I will admit that this project wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Making the triangles does require some concentration, I had some misses that I needed to fix up. And then painting the triangles…. I won’t lie, it takes forever. But the end result is 100% worth it!

What You’ll Need:

• A plain tablecloth or some fabric
• Ruler and pencil
• Lots of colourful fabric paint
• Paint brush
• A cartload of patience

Decide how big you want your triangles to be, I did mine at 6”. Measure 6” intervals along the edges of the cloth. Use a yardstick to connect the lines diagonally in both directions. Then draw a line across the lines horizontally to divide the lines into triangles.

Paint in the triangles, one colour at a time in a random pattern. You may need to let some sections dry before moving on with this step.

Let dry and you’re done! Although there are only two steps to this project it does require a time commitment. Don’t forget to share your photos with us and let us know how this project worked for you.
