Could I do this?

Neither My Friend or I have made a secret of our total lack of crafting skills, but after browsing through the latest Sweet Paul I got caught on the feature about dying fabrics – cotton, linen and wool – using blueberries and pomegranate juice and the like. I found myself weighing up whether it’s time to give it a go. Check it out…

Nice eh? I’m already imagining that anything I try will turn out looking bodged as hell. Plus, for every bit of fruit needing pulped I’d be popping a piece in my mouth, which is not conducive to getting the job done. If you fancy trying it though, you can read the instructions online here.

    Now come on. That’s not design. That’s an accident with a glass of Ribena on the bedside table! Much better idea just to eat the fruit and reach for the Vanish.

    I think I could probably manage to execute the glass of Ribena look actually, good thinking.

    Easy peasy (primary school level crafting skill required)… but use Dylon!

      Are you sure you’re not representing the legendary Dylon press office? Thanks for posting Decorator’s Notebook. Can’t wait to see your blog go live x

    This idea is way to conventional for the Dylon press office. Dying a guinea pig, now that’s an idea…
