DIY: Dying fabric with tissue paper

What do you do with a pile of tissue paper? Use it to dye some fabric! This idea hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday morning. I used one entire sheet of yellow tissue paper and placed it in a bowl together with this braid of fabric. I then poured boiling water on top. Literally 5 minutes later, the whole braid was bright yellow!


I am really excited about this idea. I have a ton more tissue paper laying around in all sorts of colors. I can’t wait to try it out on bags, clothes, and etc. Let the dip dye begin! :)
