Tie Dye with Kool Aid

My daughter wants to tie dye some things.. so I went online to see if there were ways to use homemade dye...

I found a few recipes and thought I'd start out trying the most simple. Kool Aid.

I used some baby onsies I had on hand and tied them off with rubberbands in a couple different patterns.

Mix 1 packet koolaid with 1 ounce vinegar.
Stir until Koolaid is dissolved.
Dip rubberbanded parts into mixture.
Dry.

Press.
Wash individually.

Dry on HIGH heat.
To be honest, I wasn't happy with the results. It just looks like someone spilled kool-aid all over a onsie. But I like how the color spread on the left onsie. Plus, they smell like cotton candy! Take that one either way!

At least I'm only out $2 for the 2 packets of kool-aid. If anyone else has better luck, let me know!

$1 Coupon Book Red0 (Tutorial)

I've been doing my best to be a coupon clipper lately... and have been meaning to sew my own coupon organizer.. ha! So meanwhile, I've been using labeled envelopes instead. *ashamed*

So while on my last Dollar Tree visit, I saw these coupon books for, of course, $1.... and I thought, when am I ever going to make time to sew my own with the long list of things I want/need to sew/make before that. So I bought one and decided to do a quick remodel on it.

*NOTE: This is a quick and very basic tutorial.

Here is the before (I had already pulled the elastic band off of it)
Here is the fabric I chose to cover it with (just something I had on hand):
This is a no sew redo. I traced around the outside of my coupon book and cut 1/4 inch outside the lines...
Then I used craft glue and folded the edges under before simply glueing the fabric over the outside of the coupon book! (quick and easy, I'm telling you)

Then I traced the inside section and did the same thing. (Sorry for lack of pictures)
Then I just cut a slit in the fabric so I could put the elastic band back through the original eyelet, and voila! Done in just a few short minutes all with $1 coupon book and supplies I had on hand!
I may come back and embellish it a bit on the front, and re-label the compartments on the inside, but for now, it will do much better then the business envelopes I was using!!!
