For a few of this year’s christmas gifts, i used a clever little idea from Martha and dyed simple kitchen towels from IKEA to package up and give out in little bunches to the family (i stuck a fresh baked loaf of chocolate chip banana bread<\/a> in there too, mmm.. ps best recipe i ever used!).<\/div>\n

The original idea came from this page<\/a> (martha’s photographers are somewhat superior obviously!). I picked up the towels from ikea<\/a> and found these e-a-s-y dye packets from dharma trading company<\/a> online. the packets are so easy to use! i used them in my front load washer and they did not proceed to dye everything i washed afterwards thank the lord! although i heard the dyes may not be as easy to work with in top loaders, the colors came out really nicely for me. i think i would choose a few more jewel tones next time (i thought yellow would be more golden). overall, i was pretty happy with it all!<\/p>\n

Did you do any fun projects in place of all store bought gifts this year?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
