Color Stories

We've been hard at work bringing you the hot new colors of the year. Inspired by the color masters at Pantone and top designers of the catwalk, we've assembled all new color palettes and dye recipes to inspire you to create new looks.

Melony Bradley created these delightful dyed napkin rings for the May/June issue of Somerset Life, (www.somersetlife.com) published by Stampington & Company.  The unfinished wooden bird shapes were dipped in trendy custom colors created from dye recipes in the Rit Color Formula Guide.  For added interest, decorative ribbons and buttons were added as embellishments.

Looking for a fun tie-dye project?  Check out this video by Vanessa at The Crafty Gemini.

In this video Vanessa demonstrates how to wrap up a pair of white leggings and dye them with Rit.  Be sure to enter her Rit GiveAway as well.

Here’s a last-minute Mother’s Day gift you can make for someone you love!  Carla created this wall art sachet by dye-staining a wood shadow box to house a heart she dyed and then stuffed with fiberfill and dried lavender. So it’s sure to smell good all year long.  As a finishing touch, you can add a special hand-written message.
