Give Sun-Faded Favorites a Second Season

Before you replace it, refresh it. From sun-faded cushions and sling chairs to garden markers, a little color can go a long way. These simple DIY projects help breathe new life into outdoor favorites, extending their lifespan while giving your backyard a fresh new look.

 

Refreshed Outdoor Cushions

New patio furniture? In this economy? Here’s the affordable way to bring faded cushions back to life. We refreshed faded outdoor sofa covers with a sleek grey dye makeover, proving that sometimes all your furniture needs is a little color correction.

Painted Picnic Blanket

Proof that a drop cloth can have a glow-up. With a little dye, this DIY picnic blanket looks like it came from a boutique—not the hardware store.

Dip Dyed Sling Chair

Sun-faded? We don’t know her. A blue dip-dye makeover gives this sling chair a fresh new look and a second season in the spotlight.

Colorful Wood Garden Markers

Take the guesswork out of gardening with these easy-to-make colorful markers for your herb garden.

Chic Cornhole Board + Bags

Cornhole, but make it chic. Rit can stain wood, so we used painter’s tape and black dye to create bold stripes on basic boards. And because details matter, we paired them with matching tie-dye bags of course.

Set the Table with Color

Why choose one color when you can have four? These woven placemats got a pastel makeover in soft blue, pink, yellow, and peach, turning a simple table setting into the life of the party.
