Get The TechniqueFor the May issue of Living I dyed paper cups, bowls and bamboo place mats using RIT Dye. I got the cups and bowls from Branch Home (they are compostable!).
Simply fill a bucket or bin with four quarts of hot water and add 3-4 teaspoons of the dye. I tinted just the outside of the bowls and cups by submerging them in the dye bath for a minute or two (longer for darker colors). I used the colors Evening Blue, Denim Blue, Lemon Yellow and Purple. Allow them to dry for a few hours before filling with flowers or sweets!
All in all, they are a sweet and easy project - perfect for Mother's Day!
