Ok, I've had the supplies and the idea to make these dip dye napkins for months now. I knew I wanted a black set of these for Halloween, so I waited till the VERY last minute to make these. Last night, very late last night, I decided that I just needed to do this. I am crazy, I know. But, making and doing is just so much fun sometimes.
I made a set of six in about 1 hour. I dyed them 3 at a time to save myself some time. Following the instructions of the RIT powder dye box, I dyed my 100% cotton napkins using the stove top method. I bought a set of six cream/white napkins at Homegoods for $7.99 and made sure to pre-wash them. Then used a dowel and some clothes pins, I wrapped 3 napkins half way around. Then I just sat the dowel on the edges of the pot, making sure that just less then half of the napkin was submerged in the simmering dye.

Don't mind the terrible iphone pics, and notice that it was 10:29pm when I started this process. |
We'll use them more next year. I was just planning ahead for next Halloween :)
These are beautiful! I'm so glad that you rallied at the last minute and shared them. :) I've never tried dyeing anything, will have to do so!
