DIY Inspiration: Dip Dyed Sheets

I love the look of these Indigo Modern Tie-Dye sheets from Ralph Lauren, which are a sophisticated and almost minimalist take on a tie-dye pattern. While I wouldn't shell out big bucks for these particular sheets, it got me thinking that you could easily recreate the look with white sheets and a dip-dye technique. Martha Stewart conveniently has directions for how to get the dip-dyed look on her website.

  1. I love this idea- there are some in the CB2 catalog that are dip-dyed too. I like to stick with all white sheets, but maybe a duvet cover would be a cool project.

  2. I love the John Robshaw indigo dip pillows:

    I'd be nervous about washing home-dyed sheets but they are beautiful!

  3. Ladies, you motivate me to give it a try. As for washing home-dyed sheets, it just about making sure you are careful. I mean, our mothers washed our summer camp-dyed tees when we were kids, right?
