Introduction: DIY Variegated Thread

About: I'm a hippie flower child who loves Led Zeppelin, music in general (seriously though, I'll listen to anything! <3) nature, summertime, and thunderstorms. :)

Materials:

-Plain white embroidery thread

-Sharpies

-Rubbing alcohol

-Dropper

-Something to color on

-Iron and something to iron on

Step 1: Prepare the Thread

Grab your thread and remove the paper thingies. Place it on a plastic bag or something else to protect your work surface.

Step 2: Color

Color segments of it until you reach the end.

Step 3: Add Alcohol

Carefully drip rubbing alcohol on your thread so the colors blend and let it dry.

Step 4: Heat Set

Grab the iron and something to iron on (I use an old T-shirt). Place the thread on whatever you're ironing and iron. I leave it for about 5 minutes so the color is set. Flip it over and repeat on the other side. Then wind it on a bobbin and you're done! Enjoy! ;)
