Happy Friday! The weekend is here and you know what that means, FUN! I’m looking forward to a little relaxing after a full week. It’s my Mama’s birthday so I can’t wait to celebrate a little bit with her. I saw this DIY and was immediately smitten. It’s super easy, so simple to customize, and makes a huge impact!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Bleached or unbleached coffee filters, depending on the look you are after
• food coloring
• a large bowl of water, multiple if you’ll be doing different colors
• stapler
• string, twine, or ribbon to attache them to
• garbage bag or other plastic to protect your work surface from the dye

Head on over to Bella Wedding Galleria for her Dip-Dye technique. She recommends stringing the filters with a needle and thread but by close inspection of the bottom right image you can see that the ones above are simply stapled. I think that makes it MUCH easier. Also if you are worried about seeing the staples use white spray paint or a brown sharpie (depending on the color of the filter you are using) to color the staples before you put them n the stapler. That will help them blend in!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and don’t forget to come see us in the studio soon!
