by Jessie Daye
Dip Dyed Table Linens
What you need
- Linen or cotton runner (pre-made white table runner or fabric)
- White cotton napkins or placemats
- Fabric dye (liquid RIT dye)
- Large pot
- Water
- Salt
Directions
- Wet your runner and wring out the water.
- Roll up the runner width-wise like a tube.
- Make your color bath according to the package instructions on the back of RIT box.
- Dip one end of the runner into the colored bath and hold for 3 minutes.
- When the color looks vibrant, rinse the runner until the water turns clear.
- After rinsing, re-roll your runner up and repeat the dip dye process on the other end.
- Rinse and let dry. Wash alone the first couple times. Tip: You can also dye placemats and napkins using the same method. Linen, cotton and muslin work well for this project.
