DIY Painted Father's Day Tie

I bought this necktie kit three or iv years ago and every time I have information technology out, it feels too daunting. Just for some reason it has been beckoning be lately. Possibly it's because I've been rearranging my fine art supplies and I only proceed moving information technology from one identify to another. I guess I only experience guilty, and wasteful. Time to make the tie!

Once I made the template and mixed the dyes, it really wasn't every bit hard as I idea. I'd all the same put it in the medium-challenge category. Information technology's not simple, but not as well intimidating either.

Supplies:

plain white silk necktie, pigment dyes (4oz), resist (4oz), templates one and two for the letters

How to:

i. Mix your colors. I watered downward all of the colors because I wanted a bit more than of a pastel look. Merely you can employ them straight.

ii. Print out your templates and cutting out the letters. I rolled up trivial pieces of tape and taped the letters down.

3. Now information technology'south time to use the resist. Just outline the letters. My manus was not super steady, but I call back that adds to the grapheme.

4. Pigment between the lines!

5. Permit it dry completely, and so iron it to set the dye (no steam). Put a fabric or paper towel in betwixt the necktie and the fe.

One swell thing about this project was that after I put down the resist, my kids did all of the rest. They LOVED using the dyes and watching it spread on the silk material. We are sooo excited to give information technology to their Dad because it truly is a collaborative gift and will hopefully make him feel very loved. He really is the best dad always.
