Handmade Tie-Dye Handkerchiefs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Cupcakes and Cashmere Indigo Dye Napkins Are DIY

— April 30, 2014 — Art & Design
The Cupcakes and Cashmere Indigo Dye Napkins can be replicated at home. Author Emily Schuman provides an easy to follow DIY guide for those interested in creating these tie-dye pieces which can be used to decorate one's kitchen, bedroom or bathroom.

To begin, an Indigo Tie Dye Kit was unpacked and assembled. Schuman then put elastic bands around the cloth, much like one would do when creating standard tie-dye apparel. The handkerchiefs were then dipped in the coloring and subsequently left to dry.

Time-lapse images showcase how the indigo shades change depending on how long the fabric is left with the applied dye. Those who replicate this crafty process can thus pick and choose from the aquamarine shades.
