This is a great DIY project for teachers! I can think of so many ways to use these dyed clothespins but, I think I will save that for another post. However, here is the process! It was easy and I'd do it again! Materials: - clothespins - food colouring - water - vinegar - mason jars - paper towel - something you can use to stir (I used a fork!) I bought this pack of 60 clothespins from Dollarama. I believe the tag says $1.25. They are fairly good quality. If I were to do it again, I would probably spend a little more and buy some better ones. The first thing I would suggest that you do is take off the springs. Although, the package said they wouldn't rust, I didn't want to take the chance! Spencer and I sat outside and took them apart together. He was much faster than me! The next step is to prepare your dye. I filled a mason jar with water and added some vinegar (not sure why this helps). Then, I added A LOT of food colouring because I wanted them to dark. I let these blue ones sit overnight but, you can take them out much sooner than that. I stirred them to make sure they weren't stuck together. I am not sure if there is a set time to wait. Other than the blue ones (which I left overnight) I waited until I felt they were the colour I wanted. The red and purple ones sat in the dye for about 4 hours. The red ones looked amazing almost instantly! I drained out the liquid into the sink and laid them out on some paper towel to dry. The colour became darker as they dried. Here are the red and purple ones! The red are my favourite. The purple looked awful when I first laid them out (almost brown) but, they changed to a nicer purple when they were dry. Let them dry overnight (or as long as possible) and then put the springs back on! Here they are!! :) I am very excited to use them! -Emily

I am currently working on a series of Barn Lot Quilts. My supply of rust dyed fabric is getting low… Time to make more Rust Dyed Fabric: 100% White Cotton Fabric Kosher Salt White Vinegar 2 Yards of Fabric 1/4 cup of salt Enough vinegar to saturate the fabric well Scrunch up the fabric to mix in the salt and vinegar. The fabric is wet, but not sitting in a puddle of liquid. Most any rusty object works well for rust dyeing: I am rusting yardage, so I am using a very large culvert screen. 40 inches wide x 6 feet long The rustier the object the faster your fabric will rust. The culvert screen is on a big piece of plastic. The wet fabric is ready… The wet fabric is placed on top of the rusty screen… It gets wrapped up in plastic to keep the fabric wet during the rusting process… It also helps to have HOT weather. The hotter it is, the faster the fabric will rust. I placed a 4 wheeler ramp on top to keep the plastic from blowing off and to keep some pressure on the fabric so it will stay in contact with the rust. Now we wait…..for 3 days. I will not peek at it or disturb it in any way. 3 days later... This is waiting for me when I unwrap the plastic… Gorgeous Rusted Fabric… 2 Yards of Rust Dyed Fabric. This will get soaked in a bucket of water with 1 cup of Baking Soda. This will neutralize and stop the rusting process. Then I will throw it in the washer and dryer. Then it is ready to put into a quilt. I was up before sunrise this morning to check on the rusty fabric bundle… I watched the sun burn away the morning fog. Thread Shed… This is where I am working on the series of Barn Lot Quilts… Water drops on an iris leaf Lily Bud… The soaker hose was watering the flower bed and the sun caught the water drops just right and turned them shades of red and blue…..FUN!
