How to make an Ice Dye Apron

Watch the video or read the steps below!

Step 1: Prepare your surface for ice dyeing by placing a rack inside your container for dyeing. The rack will allow the melting ice to drip down and prevent your apron from sitting in the dye.

Step 2: Crumple your apron on top of the rack and cover the surface of the apron with a pile of ice. Then, sprinkle the powder dye over the ice.

Tip: Use cardboard or a plastic sheet and some duct tape to make a ring or collar around your fabric. The collar will hold the ice in place as you pile the ice over the fabric.

Step 3: Let the ice melt completely. As it melts the dye will mix with the water and dye the apron!

Step 4: Once the ice is completely melted, rinse until the water runs clear. Hang dry.

Note: Rinsing immediately will result in softer colors. If you’d like bolder colors, place the apron in a zip lock bag and allow the dye to set for 8-24 hours before rinsing.
