DIP DYE OMBRE AQUA AND NAVY CURTAINS

 

DIP DYE SHEET CURTAINS

 

I SAW SO MANY INSPIRATIONAL POSTS ON PINTEREST ON HOW TO MAKE DIP DYE CURTAINS SO I DECIDED TO FINALLY GIVE IT A TRY, I HAVE BEEN MAKING A LOT OF CURTAINS LATELY FROM SHEETS, THIS IS VERY INEXPENSIVE, MORE INEXPENSIVE THAN BUYING FABRIC BY THE YARD AND ALSO THERE IS NO SEWING REQUIRED .

 

I BOUGHT FOUR TWIN FLAT SHEETS IN WHITE FROM WALMART. PICURED IS ONLY TWO ON THE WINDOW. UNDER $5.00 A PIECE, ONE BOTTLE OF LIQUID RIT DYE IN AQUAMARINE, FOUND AT ANY CRAFT STORE FOR $3.99. AND ONE BOTTLE OF ROYAL BLUE FOR $3.99 AND YES I ONLY USED THOSE TWO BOTTLES FOR ALL FOUR CURTAINS.

 

. FILL A LARGE BUCKET HALF WAY WITH VERY HOT WATER AND ONE CUP OF SALT AND BOTTLE OF AQUAMARINE DYE, MIX WELL . I EYEBALLED THE SHEETS , NO MEASURING JUST DIPPED THEM TO WHERE I WANTED THEM TO START. LEAVING ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF OF WHITE AT THE TOP . AFTER 30 MINUTES I PULLED OUT ABOUT ONE FOOT OF EACH CURTAIN FROM THE TOP FOR A SLIGHT OMBRE EFFECT AND LEFT THE REMAINDER OF CURTAIN TO SOAK FOR A FEW HOURS. NO RINSING, REPEAT WITH OTHER TWO CURTAINS .

 

AFTER THE FEW HOURS WERE UP I MIXED UP THE ROYAL BLUE DYE, SAME METHOD AND DIPPED ALL FOUR CURTAINS ABOUT ONE FOOT FROM THE BOTTOM INTO THE DYE BATH AND LEFT OVERNIGHT. I DID NOT WASH THESE, ONLY RINSED SLIGHTLY AND HUNG THEM OUT TO DRY.

recycled dresser with missing drawers

So I found this dresser on the side of someones curb that they were throwing away noticed the drawers were missing but I knew I can still put it to good use. I browsed through Pinterest and got some really great inspiration. I used about 3 different paint colors I had around the house in a satin finish. I only had to sand the top down.

Ribbon Trim curtains on sheets

Easy Ribbon Trim Sheet curtains

 

I bought two full size sheets at Walmart for $11.00 a piece in white, and 2 disks of Gross grain ribbon from AC Moore at around $3.00 each. At first I tried to use the fabric glue which literally sucked! the glue showed through the ribbon and it did not stick. I ended up sewing it straight on with the ribbon still attached to the disk it came in . Keeping the ribbon attached to the disk made it very easy and fast to sew on and in a straight line. I am going to ad two more panels to these windows though , to create a fuller effect.

this mirror is one I hand painted , it was a Walmart bought mirror and my dad cut the wood out for me



 

COLORFUL DIY ABSTRACT ART

 

HEY GUYS HERE IS ANOTHER SIMPLE YET CREATIVE IDEA TO ADD COLOR TO
YOUR WALLS WITH IMAGINATION AND INSPIRATION. I DECIDED TO KEEP MY WALLS WHITE WITH A POP OF ORANGE NEAR THE KITCHEN, I LOVE COLOR AND DECIDED TO USE IT USING MY DIY ART , FURNITURE AND ACCESORIES . I WILL SHOW YOU ALL THE COMPLETED LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM ONCE FINISHED. SO HERE WE GO TAKE YOUR TIME WITH YOUR PROJECT AND BE CREATIVE IT ABSTRACT ART SO DONT GET TO CONCERNED IF ITS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME! HAVE FUN!

THE FIRST STEP IS TO PAINT YOUR CANVAS OVER IN WHITE . I USED A GLOSS WHITE CRAFT PAINT. LET DRY.
I THAN STARTED TO PAINT IN THE CORNERS AND ALONG THE SIDES USING A MEDIUM CRAFT ART BRUSH AND CONTINUING WITH ALL THE COLORS.

 

I DID TAKE 2 DAYS TO COMPLETE SINCE I ADDED LAYERS OF COLORS AND WENT BACK IN WITH WHITE UNTIL I REALLY LIKED IT . LET ALL YOUR COLORS DRY WHEN SATISFIED AND THAN ADD YOUR GOLD CIRCLES OR WHATEVER COLOR YOU LIKE

I DID THIS USING A FEW DIFFERENT SIZE GLASSES AND DIPPING THE RIMS INTO GOLD ACRYLIC PAINT.YOU DONT NEED MUCH! I ENDED UP FIXING THE 2 FREE HAND CIRCLES LATER ON! SO ONCE THIS IS ALL DRY I WENT OVER IT WITH A CLEAR GLOSS VARNISH TO MAKE IT REALLY GLOSSY AND SHINY.

 

THE WHOLE PROJECT COSTED ABOUT $15.00 WITH THE CANVAS AND PAINT.

SO I DIDNT POST A TUTORIAL ON THIS PIECE MAINLY BECAUSE IT PRETTY MUCH CAME TO MY HEAD AS I WAS PAINTING. I USED A  OLD CANVAS I HAD AND PAINTED IT OVER WITH A PAINT BRUSH IN WHITE GLOSS PAINT. WHILE IT WAS STILL WET I STARTED TO MAKE THE LIGHT STROKES OF THE ORANGE AND TURQUOISE.  MADE IT BLEND WELL WITH THE WHITE SINCE IT WAS STILL WET AND THAN I BASICALLY JUST STARTED TO MAKE THE LITTLE IKAT INSPIRED SHAPES AND TOOK IT FROM THERE. I USED ACRYLIC CRAFT PAINT . I WAS LOOKING ON PINTEREST AND WAS VERY INSPIRED BY A FEW OTHER PIECES OF ART SOME OTHER PINNERS POSTED AND THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL GIVE IT A TRY .
