INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather the materials.
- For the dyeing yarn, mix the SoSoft Fabric Paints with water: one bowl of grey (Lamp Black with White 1:3) and one bowl each of Indian Turquoise, Red Pepper, and Bright Coral.
- Dip equal amounts of yarn into each color/water mix.
- Wring out the yarn and hang to dry completely.
- Using paint bottles, wrap a good amount of yarn around two bottles. (See photo.)
- Tie the center securely with a long piece of yarn.
- Take the bottles out, leaving a ball shape. (See photo.)
- Cut the loops.
- Trim the pom-pom until you have the desired shape.
- Measure out and trim the duck canvas if needed.
- Wet the canvas and wring out the water.
- Spread out the canvas and pour on the watered Bright Coral.
- Pat with paper towels or wring out.
- Hang to dry.
- Steam iron the canvas.
- Fold in and iron the edges. Use permanent fabric glue or sew to hem the edges.
- Attach the pom-poms to the ends of the canvas. (I made five big ones for each end.)
- Using a pencil and a straight edge, draw various lines on each end of the runner.
- Fill in the lines and make designs using the listed SoSoft Fabric Paints.
- Use a flat brush to get clean edges. Let dry completely.
