Can you dye drop cloths

This is for a deck that has a partial roof over it. However, my deck is high off the ground; the wind is catching the cloth. Do you have a suggestion for weights? They would have to be pretty heavy and how would I attach them? Thank you for your fabulous ideas and your show.

You could use heavy washers and sew them on like a button. Or even use a multi-surface glue and glue them on. Might be something to try!! Your email address will not be published.

Spring is one of our favorite seasons and we love to prepare and decorate our homes. The kitchen is really a workhorse for us during this time of year as we stock up on hearty soups, dinner party fixins and bake lots of goodies.

One of my favorite trees is a food themed Christmas tree that actually belongs to my mom. As we begin to transition into a new season and school year, I thought it would be fun to share an easy to make DIY dry erase board to help keep your office or home school space more organized! Hey CoCo — this is a fantastic idea!

Drop cloths are so much more affordable than yards of fabric. With the dye your color choices are pretty limitless too! Thanks so much for sharing your pan method — way better than using the washing machine! I appreciate it ladies, thanks so much! Let me know if you guys dye anything, I love to see all of your projects.

Hugs, CoCo. I love this! Thanks Coco. This would be a great project for bedding, Mary Beth! Would it dye the tub? Is there a guideline for using the dimensions of the cloth to decide what size volume of pan or storage tub to use?

I would check out the Rit website too. Hope this helps, CoCo. Do you do all the panels for curtains at one time so they turn out the same color? That seems like it would need to be a huge container. I need 8 panels. Which brand drop cloths did you use. Is this also true for dying them. I love the gray ones so much!

So glad you like these, Carla! This is the life changing moment before I dyed my hands orange for an entire day. I used a heavy container to keep my drop cloth curtain from floating out of the dye. After about 15 minutes I went and tampered with my drop cloth curtain. I was so pleased with myself that the color was perfect!

The big let down came after I had run my curtains through the wash. When wet, the drop cloth will look way-hay darker than the color it will come out of the wash with. The longer the better. Everyone is okay with it. Tassels are so easy to make, I think I might just have to add them onto everything.

I used a piece of cardboard cut to the length I wanted my tassels to be. About six inches. Wrap the yarn around the cardboard as many times as you want.

More wrapping equals thicker tassels. Tie off the top of wrapped yarn with another single piece. Make sure the piece of yarn you knot around the top is long enough to add the beads to. Cut the bottom of your wrapped yarn to release it from the cardboard. This is what you should end up with.
