Check out this fantastic tutorial from Alice and Lois on how to ice dye dish towels – an exciting, unpredictable technique that creates gorgeous watercolor effects on fabric. Instead of mixing liquid dyes, you place ice over crumpled textiles and sprinkle powdered dye on top. As the ice gradually melts, the colors seep through the layers, blending into unique patterns with an element of surprise every single time.
This relaxing method works best on natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, wool, and hemp. It’s a budget-friendly way to refresh plain kitchen towels, thrifted shirts, pillowcases, or bedsheets. You have total freedom to pick color palettes and powder placements for one-of-a-kind designs. Grab a bag of ice, some powdered dye, and a few plain cotton towels to start this colorful summer DIY project!
