Tie-Dye Dog Bed

Materials:

  • Long needle
  • Fabric – white – 100% cotton – 1½ yard
  • (1) Large jeweled button

Instructions:

  1. Prewash white 100% cotton fabric without fabric softener.
     
  2. Cover work surface with Surface Cover. Spread out the damp fabric on covered surface.
     
  3. Pinch the center of the fabric and twist the fabric, creating a spiral. Continue to turn in a circle, pulling the edges in until you have a compact circle of spiral fabric. Hold together tightly with several rubber bands.
     
  4. Wearing plastic gloves, add water to Fuchsia dye bottle to line indicated on bottle. Replace cap tightly and shake until dye is dissolved.
     
  5. Squirt dye onto fabric, saturating completely. Pull the Surface Cover over the wet fabric and let set for 6 to 8 hours or longer for more intense color.
     
  6. Cut rubber bands. Fill washer to large load setting with cold water and a small amount of laundry soap. Wash and dry separately. Wash separately the first few washes.
     
  7. Cover a standard bed pillow with tie-dyed fabric, pinning or sewing in place on the back.
     
  8. Option: Attach a jeweled button to the top center of pillow, using long needle and thread and sewing through to a flat button on the bottom of pillow and pulling tightly to create a tuft. Knot tightly. (Not suitable for all pets.)
