Tie Dye Decor

I'm constantly hanging new artwork or pictures on the walls and nothing is better than a fun splash of color. As it is well known I am a big fan of tie dye, so a large tie dye stamp on the wall seemed perfect to me.

Things you'll need:
-Tie dying kit
-1 and 1/2 yards of cotton fabric
-Rubber bands
-Gloves
-2 nails
-Hammer

 

Alright to start off this craft first you'll need a tie dye kit and a plain white sheet(in the picture above the sheet is about 1 and 1/2 yards) and fold the sheet in half.

                                       Then pinch the fabric in the middle on the folded side.

And then continue to pull the top of the fabric.

 

And proceed to rubber band it. Depending on how many colors you are looking to use, rubber band it in sections.

And then as with any tie dying project mix the dyes as directed and place garbage bags on your work surface and we can begin tie dying!

(Although you really cant tell) I dyed each section separated by a rubber band a different color. While the normal waiting period for tie dying is 6-8 hours, the cotton fabric I used did not take the dye very well so I waited 12 hours. I would suggest finding almost a t-shirt fabric that has a little stretch to use for this project.
Once you're done washing and drying the fabric its time to start hanging it!

I measured about 5-6 inches from the edge and then placed the first nail and did the same on the other side. I didn't pull the fabric terribly tight across the top as to help keep it flowy.

And now your wonderful tie dye decor is displayed on the wall! You can experiment with different tie dye patterns, colors, or types of fabric for this project and make it your own! Have fun! :)
