Since our first dip dying ombre shirt project was such a success, we wanted to get a little more adventurous and try this method on a different medium - lamp shades. Yes, I said lamp shades.
Materials and Tools
- 1 8-oz bottle of Rit Dye Liquid in the color of your choice (ours is in Aquamarine). We recommend liquid dye over powder dye, as liquid dye dissolves much faster in water and doesn't leave dye marks.
- 1 fabric lamp shade (ours is from IKEA)
- 1 large plastic bag to cover the drying area
- Rubber gloves
- Salt
Process
Step 1:
Depending on the size of the shade, use a tub or a sink. Fill the sink with hot water to your desired level. Add half a bottle of dye and a handful of salt, then stir until the dye is fully dissolved.
