Tye-dye potholders

#v11149

The lovely trendy potholders are tie-dyed and then decorated with rubber stamps using Textil Solid fabric paint colours. An exciting, classic technique, good to give as a gift and lovely to receive. The potholders are made from a gorgeous fabric quality - with a trendy metallic ring for hanging. As they are sewn with a nylon thread, the stitching will not get dyed, but appears as part of the decoration after the dyeing.

Comment faire

1 Dissolve 1kg fine salt in 10 liters of 30-60 degrees hot water. The warmer the water, the darker the colour. Turn off the heat.

2 Add 100ml ES Batik.

3 For smaller portions a pipette can be useful to suck up the right amount of Batik paint.

4 Dissolve 200g ES Batik fixing agent in a little warm water and pour it into the colour mixture.

5 Wet the fabric and put it immediately into the dye bath. The fabric must lie in the bath for 30 minutes and should be able to float freely. If you wish to make funny patterns, you can put rubber bands around or attach clothes pegs as shown.
