DIY Variegated Thread
Materials:
-Plain white embroidery thread
-Sharpies
-Rubbing alcohol
-Dropper
-Something to color on
-Iron and something to iron on
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.
Color
Color segments of it until you reach the end.
Add Alcohol
Carefully drip rubbing alcohol on your thread so the colors blend and let it dry.
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! ;)
