I haven't been crafting much and therefore haven't been around in a while!

I ordered a bunch of dye from dharma so added some silk for a canopy a while ago. Brian keeps pulling ours off and playing with it so I decided to make some more.

Any suggestions ideas? I have never done anything beyond LWI'ing in the microwave. I would like it to be multicolored. I would love it to have a tie dye look or at least a rainbow gradient

You can mix the dyes with less water and paint them on with a paint brush or you can tie the silk like you would a shirt for tie dying and use the dyes (make sure you have vinegar in the mixes) lik eyou would for tie dying, then zapping it in the microwave to set.
