Day #23 – Tie Dye

We all agreed that the white curtains I hung up on the patio were just too white. Everything else is colorful so they stood out and not in a good way. I had two tie dye kits that we had gotten a couple of years ago and never used. I only had turquoise and blue so that’s what we were going to use. Because the curtains are polyester I had to boil them after I had rubber banded them.

After they boil for a few minutes I applied the dye.

I put them in trash bags and waited 8 hours. I honestly didn’t know if the dye would take because polyester is notoriously hard to dye. After I rinsed them off I was pleasantly surprised. The turquoise came out very close to the color of the dye. The blue turned a light lavender. It’s hard to tell in the picture though.

I think they look pretty good.

The turquoise color matches our front door.

And our little busted up skunk friend showed up to have his dinner. I know I’m not supposed to feed it, but he’s so crippled that the only way he could even eat a bug was if it jumped into its mouth.

Now I’m going to go watch The Following. If you haven’t seen it, it’s so good. We watched it when it first came on in 2013, It seems impossible that it’s been that long ago.
