So here's one. A Works-for-me Wednesday post. Kool-aid dyed silk scarves. I found this on another lady's blog a couple of weeks ago. For the life of me, I can not remember whose it was. So please forgive me if you read this and I didn't give you credit. Whoever it was: Thank you for the idea. Since I couldn't find the blog again I searched it out and found these instructions. I bought the scarves from Dharma Trading Co. I ordered 3 different silk scarves, but the larger ones were the favorites. I've ordered some more since the ones we did turned out so well. Next time, though we might add a little food coloring into the mix. The yellow didn't turn out very bright. It's pretty, but really light.
This is just a few pictures of the scarves we did. We did yellow, red, orange, pink, green, and purple.
Now for more Work-for-me Wednesday posts go over to We Are THAT Family. She's got a great one up about traveling with kids. Boy, do I ever need those tips.
Until next time...

How fun! What will you use the scarves for? hair, play, what?
won't the color wash out? I may have to try this
We'll use them for playing dress-up probably.
I'm not sure if the color will wash out. You're supposed to wash them by hand in cold water if they get dirty. I guess if the color comes out, you can just re-dye them. Not sure, though.
