Look at that happy face and the little upturned toe. I love it!

This is an adult cradle at Shelburne Museum. I was told by the guide that the cradle was built by the Shakers (this one is a replica) and the elderly and infirm would use this as a sort of day bed. It would be placed in the kitchen by the hearth.
Growling like a bear-yes, my kids do this a lot!

ReplyDeleteClear glue, then dye, then peel the glue??
Lisa :)
I was just getting ready to ask the same question as Lisa. :) The pictures of your kids at the museum made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThe designs were done with Elmer's no-run gel but I think plain Elmer's would be fine. We let the design dry and then used dye. I just left the dye on for a minute but if I was to do it again I would leave it on for longer (J wanted a pastel, springy look). Then we rinsed it out with cold water. When the dye was all out, I threw the napkins in the wash with hot water and detergent to remove the glue. Then into the dryer. It was a very fun project. I would like to use this method on curtains!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun week! And thanks for sharing you napkin dying directions..those are so pretty.
