DIY Tye Dye Valentines Kitchen Tea Towels // Come craft with me!
Fun fact: According to Wikipedia, Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.
Supplies needed:
Step 1: Get all your supplies together. I already had most of my supplies on hand, so all I had to buy was the tea towels.
Step 2: Put rubber bands around the tea towels. There are so many ways you can do this to create different designs. I did mine a few different ways.
Step 3: Wet you towels until the are soaked through. Ring out any excess water. You want them wet but not soaking.
Step 4: Time to Dye! I mixed my dyes into small bottles for easy use. Squirt the dye in all the spots that you want. You could have a pattern or make it random. Do it how ever you want! There is no wrong way to do this.
Step 5: Once you are done adding the dyes, cover and set aside. I normally let them sit for at least 12 hours.
Step 6: Time to rinse. I always rinse in cold water. I place a cookie cooling sheet in my sink so the tea towel doesn't sit directly in the sink. I didn't use gloves to rise, but if you are going to be moving with your hands, you might want to. I rise and turn over and rise more until there is no color rinsing from it any more. Remove the rubber band and set aside.
Step 7: Time to wash! When I wash these, I wash with 1 dark towel I find that they wash and dry better with a large heavy towel. I was on cold with a normal amount of detergent. Dry on low too.
Now it's time to enjoy your tea towels! I use mine all year long.

XOXO Valentines DIY Home Decor // Come chalk with me! // Time to get your crafts on!
Have you started decorating for Valentines Day yet? I have just started and I've had my eye on this transfer for a while. I decided to use 3 different pinks and combine them so it looks like a the-dye effect.
Fun fact - According to Wikipedia: Hugs and kisses, abbreviated in North America as XO or XOXO, is an informal term used for expressing sincerity, faith, love, or good friendship at the end of a written letter, email or text message. In the United Kingdom, the phrase 'hugs and kisses' is widely used.
Now lets get crafting!
Step 1: Grab all your supplies that you will need. This makes it so much easier so you don't have to get up while chalking. Always stir your paste colors before you use them. If they feel a little dry, add a little bit of distilled water to it and stir well.
