DIY: Dip Dye Ribbon

September 8, 2015 by TheSweetEscape 8 Comments

DIY Dip Dye Ribbon, ribbon, diy, tie dye, gift wrap There’s nothing better than starting a short week with a DIY project, ‘amiright? Plus I feel like I owe you one since it’s been a bit quiet around here. Don’t you worry, I’m working my little (big) butt off behind the scenes. For now how about learning how to make this gorgeous dip dye ribbon? This is like 1 on the DIY difficulty scale, as in insanely easy but high impressive factor. Those are the best kind. Impress while being lazy, that’s what I say.

All you need for this project is some plain ol’ cotton and food coloring. Cheap bedsheets or pillowcases are easy to get and work really well. Be sure you’re using at least 80% cotton for the best dye results. If you want the ripped look like my sample, start with a little cut and then rip into approx. 1.5″ strips (or width of your choice). It will rip straight I promise. It’s like magic.

You can mix different colors, dilute with water, keep on one palette or put each on it’s own, whatever you like. Then you roll up your cotton strips, give it a quick dunk in clean water (helps the dye look cool) and start experimenting.  DIY Dip Dye Ribbon, ribbon, diy, tie dye, gift wrap Slowly unravel your roll and hang to dry. Make sure you have something protecting the floor from dripping dye. They will dry pretty quickly and you’ll end up with these stunning pieces of dip dye ribbon art.

Now the gift better be really good when the wrap looks like this. Just saying.  DIY Dip Dye Ribbon, ribbon, diy, tie dye, gift wrap DIY Dip Dye Ribbon, ribbon, diy, tie dye, gift wrap This ribbon would also be great wrapped around a bottle of wine for your lovely hosts or hang a whole like on a rope for a pretty party garland. There’s really so many options you could just dye.

    Pretty! I think it would also look cool in black and white…

      Thanks! And of course you’re thinking black & white, ha! I agree, b&w or shades of grey would look great.

    How about using permanent-type dye and using the results on clothing?

      Hey Edith, sure! you absolutely could try that. I just wanted to keep things really simple and not have to mix up large batches of fabric die for a few ribbons that were never going to be washed.
