I have been focusing on Christmas a lot recently. It’s July and every year it is my reminder to focus on the holiday gift shopping. I am one of those people who like to be done with all my shopping by the end of summer so I can focus on the real meaning of Christmas and not the rush of shopping. I like to take it easy and just be with my family.

This year I have been trying to come up with an idea to make for the kids. That is when I came across the idea to make Tie Dye Pillows!

Items Needed:

Fabric Dye in Colors of Choice

Spray Bottles

Vinyl Letter Decal

Directions:

 

Apply decal to pillow and ensure there are no air bubbles trapped under it.

Pour your fabric dye into spray bottles, and keeping about 12 inches away from pillow, sprits the pillow, varying colors until you reach desired colors.

Allow drying for 24 hours, remove vinyl and place in the dryer on high for 10-15 minutes to set the colors.

Wash separately the first wash, then wash as normal after.

  1. How I love this idea it seems so simple and personal, I like the pillow and I think I will teach my granddaughter how to make this thank you for sharing

  2. What a great gift idea! I know plenty of kids on my Christmas list that would love receiving one of these as a gift. I had better get started!

  3. I love how your pillow turned out! This would be a fun gift for my daughters to make for their friends. I always try each year to have Christmas shopping done by the end of October at least, but it seems I am always scrambling for a few last minute gifts.

  4. Wow, that came out great! I always have some spare fabric dye laying around, I will have to pull this project out the next school break!

  5. This would make a perfect gift for my daughter to make her friends. It is hard to find gifts for teenagers!

  6. My 7 year old grand daughter has just “discovered” home decor. She has become obsessed with decorative pillows for her bed. This will be a fun project to do with her. Thanks so much for sharing.

  7. I think the possibilities are endless with this! Pillows are such a quick and easy way to change up a room. You could do various seasonal themes, very cool!

  8. That is just way too cool and so simple. I would have never come up with it… Thanks for sharing. May have to do this for my step-daughter for the holidays 🙂

  9. I have been doing Tye Dye for years. We do shirts, sheets, baby clothes anything we can find. I love your idea of the spray bottle. Gives a unique finish.

  10. I love that! We are in the process of moving into a new house and I would love to make some of these for my kids. Thanks for sharing such a fun and easy craft.

  11. This is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time. Please tell me where I can find a plain white canvas pillow? Everywhere I look they are already printed on. Thanks!

  12. What a fun tutorial! I bet this would be a lot of fun to do with pre-teen aged kids. I haven’t seen RIT in the longest time…I tie-dyed a pair of purple jeans before when I was in middle school and one of my teachers asked me where I bought them from 🙂
