Dip-Dyed Banner
Dip-Dyed Banner
One
of the many things I love about my job is the ability to try new
things. When the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit was released in the
holiday catalog, I knew there were endless ways to use it. I was excited
to see if the banner could be dip-dyed.
To make the dye, I mixed together rubbing alcohol with Gumball Green Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill
in a small plastic container. It doesn’t need to be full; just tip the
container on its side and let the liquid pool a little.
I
started with a lighter ink concentration. After each banner piece was
dipped, I laid them on a paper towel to dry. Once dry, I increased the
saturation of the ink and dipped a second time, this time not dipping it
in quite as far. This created an ombre effect.
To finish it off, I used the alphabet stencils from the kit, along with Coastal Cabana ink and a Sponge Dauber to add the word “home.” I really like how the blue tones separated out of the ink as it dried. My banner has a slightly imperfect, handmade feel—and I love it.
