This past week we tie-dyed some of our well worn and much loved shirts which was fun. But my real mission was to dye my kitchen towels. After a year or more of being on duty all the time, my towels were looking shabby and dull. So along with giving a few of my favorite farm shirts second life I gave my kitchen a new level of color.
Behold the candy popper fold. My friend made this one and it came out fabulous. It was instantly my favorite. So today I dyed the rest of my dull towels using this fold!
I folded a pile of towels to get varying degrees of this one. A basic rainbow using a fat accordion fold:
Fold in quarters and swirl twist:
These two are really that bright:
Psst: Twisted rope ends fold
Last but not least my second favorite result:
We had a blast and I now have a drawer full of color to keep me entertained while drying dishes!
Those would’ve been the PERFECT towels for my Volkswagen camper bus.
And I would definitely enjoy them now, too. What a fun idea!

I never considered tie-dying something other than t-shirts. How uncreative of me! LOL What a fun way to add some color to your kitchen.
