Dyeing thrift shop finds.

 This is what I did.
I chose a pallette.
Went and got some dyes.
Bought some old
linens from the thrift shop.
Most were about 25 cents.
Put them in the dye pot.
This is what I got.
I cut long strips of fabric and sewed
them in spirals to make the flowers.

I cut up the table runner to make a cushion cover. They all came out different colours but in the same range. I had fun repurposing my finds on a cold and dreary winter's weekend!

Coffee Filter Flowers

I used up a package of coffee filters that had been sitting on the shelf for way too long, added a few circles of text paper and even newsprint.....dipped them with Walnut Ink and left them to dry. Then I scrunched them up and wrapped around floral wire and hey presto I had some vintage looking roses.
