Greetings Everyone!

I have been tie.....DYING to show you my Boho Tie-Dye Curtains!!!

We had these off white curtains for a while and I was actually about to just take them on over to Goodwill...But! I thought....What a Great time to try out Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint on Curtains!

Who Loves Tie-Dye...Anything?! Haha! Let's have some Fun!

Step 1:

Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint color Peony Curtains

Take any pair of white or off white curtains...(mine were shear but they can be solid as well) and tie them into knots. I didn't have any rubber bands so I improvised by tying knots!

Step 2: Grab a Bucket or Container that you can get a little messy.

Step 3: Get your Dixie Belle Paint Chalk Mineral Paint....I used the following colors.....

PEONY: https://dixiebellepaint.com/peony-chalk-paint/?aff=376

Step 4: I added a tablespoon of Peony to the bucket.

Step 5: Add about a quart of water.

Okay...truth be told....I love going outside to do a project when the babies are out to play! Guilty!!

Step 10: NEXT DAY....Undo those Knots! Yes...they might be a little hard to undo, but you Got THIS! Once all the knots are out...Lay Flat in the yard and pin them down or Hang on a Clothesline OUTSIDE! DO NOT PUT THESE IN YOUR DRYER!!!! Unless you want to tie-dye Everything! Lol!

Just keep these babies outside until they are FULLY Dry. Do Not Place them on anything you don't want paint on ;)

I put mine to dry on my back porch....but I paint out there so I don't mind a little paint ;)
