Renew with fabric dye
Create your own pattern designs with fabric paint! We used thin, watercolour-like fabric paint to create a fabulous, flowing pattern on the blouse. With this fabric paint, you can give clothes and fabrics made of at least 50% cotton (or silk) a new lease of life. Choose whether the fabric will be damp or dry when you paint it. Just bear in mind that the paint spreads more when the fabric is wet.
*Alternatively, fix the dye in the oven (not silk) at 150°C for 5 minutes, but make sure the garment has no buttons, elastic, or heat-sensitive features. When fixing paint in the oven, it is important to make sure that the fabric does not touch the oven heating element.

Say goodbye to washed-out garments, bedding and towels! With Dylon’s fabric dyes for the washing machine, you can quickly give them colour again. Here, we’ve experimented a little by starting from the colour Peony Pink, removing some of the dye powder from the pod, and adding a little of the colour Plum Red to dye the dress. Remember that the original colour and material always impact the final result and dark fabrics cannot be dyed a lighter colour.

It’s so much fun to transform something old into something new! We all have a few pieces of clothing that look a little tired. So try giving them a brand new look with fabric paint! One thing is certain: you are guaranteed to end up with a unique, personalised garment. We used thin, watercolour-like fabric paint to create a fabulous, flowing pattern on our T-shirt, but you could also use this paint for tie-dye projects. The fabric paint can be used with clothes that are made of at least 50% cotton (or silk).
*Alternatively, fix the paint in the oven (not silk) at 150°C for 5 minutes, but make sure the garment has no buttons, elastic, or heat-sensitive features. When fixing paint in the oven, it is important to make sure that the fabric does not touch the oven heating element.
Give your top a whole new look using fabric dye! For this project, we used a special Japanese Shibori resist-dyeing technique, which involves placing the fabric around a cylinder and then wrapping string around it. Instead of tie-dye where you tie string or rubber bands around the fabric, here you wrap string around a cylinder and then pull the fabric out between the gaps. The result is stripey, a bit like the stripes on a tiger. The runny watercolour fabric dye works on fabrics with at least 50% cotton content (as well as silks).

Lay the table for a party with beautiful watercolour napkins! Tie-dying will give your napkins the lovely look of a watercolour - a gorgeous detail at a confirmation, wedding or another celebration. The longer you let the fabric soak, the more intense the colour will be. The colour will be most vibrant if you don't rinse the fabric at all. Roll up cutlery in the napkins and tie with a piece of twine. Decorate the knot with a tassel. Tie-dyed napkins are washable at 40°C. Wash separately the first couple of times.

Then make cool patterns with stencils. The only limit is your imagination!

Make a Europop top featuring a portrait of yourself or someone special in pixelated Eurovision song-contest style. Sketch out your design first or just pixel free-hand. To make the neat pixel squares, stamp on dye using squared foam rubber sponges, either ready-cut or cut free hand. Remember to choose a palette of colours to match however dark or light your top is. We used fabric dye for dark fabrics for our T-shirt.
The Japanese shibori dyeing technique allows you to create beautiful resist-dye patterns by folding fabric instead of tying it with string. Japanese resist dyeing requires a bit more precision, but thin watercolour fabric dye makes it easy to achieve the shibori effect. Dye ordinary white cotton fabric or old sheets. Then you can make beautiful cushion covers, bags, quilts and other interior decor details with shibori patterns. You can also try dyeing kitchen towels to make a classic checked towel with a fresh twist.
Transform fabric bags into your own personalised shopping bags! These thin fabric paints produce the wonderful look of watercolours and are perfect for tie-dye and techniques in which the colours flow together. Tie-dye involves tying knots around the fabric before dyeing it. You can also choose to paint the bag with a foam rubber brush. Colours that flow together: Start by painting the bottom portion of the bag with the darkest colour. Spray with water and see how the colour runs. Leave some white in between, apply the next colour and spray with water. The paint will move upwards, so wait before adding more. Alternate colours and repeat until you are satisfied. Let the colour seep to the back, or paint the back the same way as the front. Let the fabric dry and then fix the paint.
