DIY DIP DYED CRICUT PILLOW

I just love making DIY home décor. It’s such a great way to change things up around my house each season or to brighten up my space when things are looking dull and boring. For today’s project, I’m going to show you how to make this DIY Dip Dyed Cricut Pillow.

It’s so simple and so much fun to make. One of the things I really love about this technique is that it’s similar to tie-dye – you can never be sure exactly what the finished project will look like. No two dip dye projects are ever exactly the same!

Once you give dip dyeing a try, I’m just sure you’re going to love it too. Of course, to take this craft project a step further, we didn’t leave it at the dyeing. We decided to add a beautiful design and quote to our pillow.

We found the cut file for this on our membership website Makers Gonna Learn. With over 3000 cut files and more than 300 fonts, it’s the perfect membership for die cutting fans like you. Be sure to check it out! Let’s get on with our project.

Boil a pot of water then pour in your Rit dye. Remember that the more you pour in the more vibrant your color will be.
Stir the water and dye then put your gloves on and submerge your pillowcase.
Since we’re making ours ombre were going to pull it out of the water about 1/3 of the way after it’s all been submerged for a few seconds. Hold it there for 30 seconds, then pull it out another 1/3 of the way. Then let the color really get saturated on the bottom of your pillowcase.
Once you’re satisfied with the color pull it out and run it under cold water. Keep ringing it out until the water coming off of it is clear then toss it in the dryer.
Once it’s dry preheat your EasyPress then measure, cut, and weed your design and quote.
Lay the pillowcase onto the EasyPress mat, align your design and quote, and heat the area for 30 seconds at a time.
Once the pillowcase has cooled remove the transfer sheet and stuff your pillow!
