#4 // Have Fun with Shibori

This tutorial is wayyy back from 2016, but that doesn’t make it any less fun! Every summer as a kid, I’d dye fabric with my family and it was always such a blast. This would be a great weekend project to tackle with the kids. The surprise of unwrapping your cushions, tea towels, and fabric is the best part.

I hope everyone has a fun weekend! We’re hoping to be productive and work on the kitchen and bedroom balcony during the day, then movies and food trucks in the evening. It sounds pretty perfect to me. Cheers to working hard, playing hard, and getting things done.
