Providing your ottoman with a new ottoman slipcover is an inexpensive way to brighten your home. If you'd like to be creative and hand-dye your own ottoman slip cover, follow these easy steps to get started:
1.) Make sure you wash the fabric in a washing machine before dying. Fabric that has not been washed will not absorb the dye as well;
2.) The fabric should be wet to ensure the dye activates properly with the fabric;
3.) Lay the fabric on a flat surface and apply the dye with a spray bottle. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to wait the proper amount of time for the dye to activate;
4.) Once the fabric has dried, give it one more run in the washing machine.
Creating your slipcover in this manner will bring a splash of creativity to your home without breaking your budget.
