Here at The Little Bungalow we are all about keeping the peace! To always spread love and joy and to simply be kind to others. Here's another great fun project to keep the peace in your little bungalows! Today I am bring you this magic peace sign tapestry wall hanging. What's so magical about it? It's made with only using a few materials and the main ingredient being washable glue! When you wash the glue away you are left with your peace sign image! Just like magic!
I've always been intrigued by batik printing, it's an Indonesian technique of using a wax resisting dying method which leaves you with some beautiful printed fabrics. So I used the same conception here with using glue instead of wax. You can get so creative with this method and make so many cool things by doing so! Just follow the simple instructions and start creating your very own peaceful piece!
MATERIALS:
Elmers blue washable glue
Fabric (or tea cloth, dish cloth, an old sheet, an old tee)
Paint Brush
Colored Dye
Water
Bowl
Plastic ( I used a trash bag )
INSTRUCTIONS:
Lay your fabric down over your plastic (this prevents the glue from damaging your table or surface you are working on)
Next using your paint brush and washable glue start painting your peace sign. Make sure the glue is going on pretty thick so it blocks any color from seeping in in the dying process. Once your peace sign is all painted out let it dry completely. It must be fully dry in order for it to work. Mix your dye color in water and place your painted fabric into the dye. Let it soak for about 5-10 minutes or until your reached your desired color. Wash under cold water until water runs clear. Hang to dry. Wash again under Luke warm water to eliminate any left over glue. Your peace sign image will be left behind making for a beautiful tapestry to display in your little bungalow!
