DIY – Dyeing Seam Binding and Lace

Genevieve Speegle

I love using vintage looking accents in my cards and scrapbook pages.

I’ve learned several ways to dye my ribbons and trims, using various ink and paint brands and am happy to share this trick with you!

 

Here are some examples of cards I’ve made using my hand dyed seam binding:

Cookie Swap Bucket

Genevieve Speegle
Just finished this custom bucket order.  It was so much fun to work on!  It’s my first Christmas themed bucket order and I just love the way it turned out!
I used a lot of the Very Merry line from October Afternoon (one of my new favorite brands), as well as my new Winter Frolic cartridge from Cricut.
I made some glittery Christmas cookies using my SCAL software.  I inked the edges of each cookie to give it a “baked” look.
This tag was lots of fun too.  It’s all about paper piecing!  I made the gingerbread men by hand and added green brads for buttons.  I then inked and stitched the tag.
The hot chocolate tag was also made by hand using my Winter Frolic cartridge and a Swarovski crystal.
Finally, I added this HUGE green ribbon and attached some jingle bells with thread.  Yummy!
