Materials List
- Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit - Pretty Pastels or kit of choice
- Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint - White
- White 100% cotton socks
- Embroidery string - matching colors
- Disposable plastic cups
- Polyfil stuffing
- Scissors
- Disposable plastic surface cover
Instructions:
-
Before you begin, wash your socks without fabric softener before dyeing. Leave them damp.
-
Once dyes are mixed, pour each color into its own disposable cup.
-
Crumple up your damp socks and place one into each dye color. For an added crumple tie dye effect, you can use a rubber band to bind the crumpled sock before placing in the dye. Let the socks sit in the dye for a while to soak it up.Â
-
Once the socks have soaked in the dye for a while, wearing gloves, wring out the socks and place on a plastic-covered surface.
-
Cover the socks with plastic and let set overnight for the dye to fully process.
-
Once the socks have finished processing, rinse thoroughly and wash and dry according to dye instructions. Stuff each sock with Polyfil.
-
Tie a strand of embroidery string tightly around the halfway point of each sock to create the body and the head. Tie another just above the "head" at the base of the leg portion of the sock to create the section for ears.
-
Cut top portion of socks in a V shape to create ears.
-
Use white Dimensional Paint to create a face and whiskers on each bunny sock.
-
Let bunny socks dry flat for several hours until paint has completely dried.
