15 Minute Monday - Dip Dye DIY

Martha Stewart

Got fifteen minutes? I found some ideas that are crazy cute, and take about 15 minutes to do, not including drying time.

I got the idea from Martha’s dip dyed baskets I saw last year.

Just a fun and fabulous way to add some color and interest to a plain ol’ basket. So it’s not technically a dip “dye”, but since you can use paint, that makes it all the better in my book.

When I found these dip dye baskets, I thought I’d google “dip dye” and see what other crafty things are out there.

Funny how just a word here and there on Google search makes a difference. Dip dye hair? Who knew? Apparently, not me.

So I added “crafts” to my search and found some projects I might really wanna try.

This neon ‘dip dye’ basket from A Pair and A Spare on HarpersBazaar isn’t even dipped, but it gives the appearance that it has been.

Honestly . . . wft

Neither are these stemware on Honestly . . . wtf, but don’t they look like they’ve been dipped in gold? Perfect gift for anniversaries, weddings, maybe even Mother’s Day?

I’m dying to try stemware in a different color, just to see if it has the same impact. Maybe turquoise. Or a poppy orange. Something fun for summer.

Here’s another spray paint quickie that looks dip-dyed. Uh, it’s only counts as a quickie if you don’t actually make the bowl. But, hey, if you’re up for making a bowl before you ‘dip’ it gold, go for it.

(I checked twice. This wasn’t Martha, secretly posting for Curbly.)

Ok, so this isn’t paint, but it is a dip dye project. Dip some plain white candles in some melted wax and crayons in a slow cooker. I’m not sure how easy it’d be to clean the slow cooker after this though. I just thought about that.

Any ideas?

You know, when I saw this on Apartment Therapy I thought, Hey, she has the same shirt on as the gal in Martha’s pic. Well, duh. It is Martha’s gal, ha ha. That’s what I get for looking at pictures and not reading.

How about you? Do you have any 15 minute crafts you’d like to share? I’d love to include your project!
