Braiding the denim With the growing popularity of front loading washing machines, we have found that dye may stain the plastic parts around the machine if it is not cleaned up right away; so it’s important to clean up immediately after dyeing, which we detail how below. Front Loader Instructions I got the idea for this cool denim bracelet when making denim coasters from old jeans seams. Weaving seams made the coasters. I liked the pattern the seams made.

Choose a colour that suits your colouring too – so not too bright if you suit a more muted or smoky palette.

But occasionally, I also love repurposing them into new things to wear, like this DIY denim bracelet and the denim bow ties I made a couple of weeks ago.Items should be in the dyebath for a minimum of thirty minutes to a maximum of one hour before the rinse cycle begins. Use an extended setting, or reset the setting before the rinse cycle starts to extend the wash time. Note that the longer the item is in the dyebath, the darker the color will be. For bulky items, such as draperies or large slipcovers, we recommend stopping the wash load periodically to detangle and unwind the item. This will help prevent uneven dyeing and lighter areas from forming. Remember to wear rubber gloves when handling the item mid-cycle. Wear rubber gloves to protect hands from getting stained and to insulate them when working with hot water. Pour the dye solution into the dispenser. Then, pour the salt or vinegar solution.

If dyeing silk or nylon, mix 1 cup 240 mL of white vinegar with 2-4 cups 470-950 mL of hot tap water. When desired color is achieved, remove from dyebath.
