Swiffer Wet Jet Reusable Pad

Swiffer Wet Jet Reusable Pad

I got a chance to try it out this morning 

and just love it. The pad is so absorbent. 

I was able to get my whole kitchen and 

downstairs bathroom mopped up. 

They are not very big either. 

I was so happy I found this pattern and made one. 

I can't wait to make more. 

 

The pattern is not hard to follow at all. 

It also didn't take long to crochet up. 

I got the pattern from

Crochet N Play Designs 

on Etsy.

I also made the one for a 

swiffer pad. 

Here is a link to that blog,

Dying cotton yarn

Dying cotton yarn

I have seen a video on dying cotton yarn and wanted to try it. 

How to Dye Cotton Yarn with a Tulip Tie Dye Kit

I got some Sugars and Cream white yarn.    

I had some left over dye from dying t-shirts with my girls. 

So I used those colors. Red, black and green. 

 

 I unwound it and and laid it on plastic wrap and a pan. 

Just in-case the dye leaked through.

I then started to adding the dye. I did not have enough

to cover it all. But I did want some white parts anyways. 

After I got it all on. I then pushed down on it. To make sure it 

was all the way through out the whole part I wanted. 

 Then I covered it up for 3 hours and let it soak in. 

I did not want really dark colors. So I did not do it as long

as I would with my t-shirts.

Then I rinsed it out till there was no dye coming out and hung it up 

to air dry. 

I then used my machine to wind it all up into a ball again. 

When I was done. I threw it into a laundry bag and washed it. 

Then threw it into the dryer. 

I have started to make wash cloths out of this pretty yarn. 

I love the way it turned out and can't wait to do it again 

in the near future. 

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Happy Crafting!!!!

Tie Dying Cotton Yarn

Tie Dying Cotton Yarn

I got the idea from here : 

Colorful Hand Dyed Embroidery Floss - Craft Tutorial 18 (Rainbow Thread)

This is what I used to do mine. I did this with my old girls. They had so much fun.

Suppiles needed:

Gloves

White Embroidery Floss

Rubber bands(if wanted, mine still blended in a bit)

Dye( I used what you get for Tie Dying shirts)

I divided mine up into three parts and started to slowly add

color to where I wanted it. 

After I was done. I let it air dry over night or you can also

use a blow dryer on it. Then I washed it out a bit. To get any

extra color off. This is what mine looked like when all finished with that. 

Here is what I started to work on for myself and my girls. We 

are making beaded bracelets out of them. 

If you have any questions. Please feel free to ask. 

Happy Tie Dying!
