Materials: Dye-Na-Flow fabric paint: - Magenta
- Bright green
- Yellow
- Cerulean blue
- Violet
1-1/2" to 2" natural-bristle or foam brush
9" x 54" or 15" x 60" white silk scarf
Freezer paper
Plastic cups
1/4" flat Susan Scheewe brush
1/2" flat Winsor and Newton Series 995 brush - Iron scarf onto the freezer paper, shiny side up. Do not place the iron directly onto the paper.
- Dilute the Dye-Na-Flow with water -- approximately one part water to one part Dye-Na-Flow.
- Using the 1-1/2" brush, make large sweeping strokes to create a background with the diluted dye (figure A). Overlap colors to blend.
- Moving from one end of the scarf to the other, paint the rainbow colors in the following order: magenta, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet (figure B).
- Let scarf dry thoroughly.
- Go over portions of the scarf with undiluted dye to create accents. Use lines, dots, squiggles or squares to create a pattern with either a 1/4" or 1/2" brush (figure C). Stencils may also be used.
- Heat-set the scarf by ironing it on the reverse side of the pattern for 10 minutes. You can also place it in the dryer for 35 to 40 minutes on a high setting.
