A Little Bit About Dip Dye
Are you curious about dip dye? Dip dye is a popular colour technique that shows how one colour can be blended with another, from light to dark colours. This creates a unique and beautiful gradient that looks amazing on clothing or fabric.

These bags can be personalized for kids’ craft rooms or used to make small gifts that you want to mail. You can let your imagination run wild by mixing different dye colors or dying larger items, such as reusable grocery bags.

How to Dip Dye Plain Cotton Bags
1.) First, the wet fabric absorbs dye more evenly than the dry fabric. So, soak your plain cotton bag in warm water until it is completely soaked.
2.) Create your vibrant fabric dye colours. To prevent the dye from staining your workspace and hands, use disposable gloves. Next, add your water to your dye. Stir the dye thoroughly into your water using your spoon.
3.) Dip your dye mixture after it has been prepared. Dip your fabric bag in the dye halfway. The darker the fabric will turn, the longer it is in the dye. To create a smooth gradient effect, slowly pull the fabric from the dye bath.
4.) Allow your dip-dyed bags to dry completely before you can enjoy them! These bags make great party favours and birthday gift bags.
