CUSHION COVERS IN DIP AND DYE TECHNIQUE

-

For this you will need plain white cotton or linen pillowcase­s, indigo dye, two buckets and rubber gloves. Soak the pillowcase­s in a bucket of clear water for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the paint in the bucket according to the packet instructio­ns and dip the pillowcase­s about half way into the bucket. Because the colour discolours very strongly, it is best to wear gloves. Let it sit for a while and then take it out. Hang on a drying rack to dry. Use an old sheet under the stand to protect the floor from paint splatter.
