Surface Design

Ja'Reah Crowder Ombre & All over Prints 04/13/17 For my ombre' project, I choose to demonstrate on a piece of white cotton fabric because I thought that would give me the best results. My ombre process was pretty simple and easy with the fabric dye, Rit. It was only $2.00 at Walmart, this is my process. 1. Wet fabric completely 2. Fill sink up wit hot water (i used the sink because I didn't use a lot of fabric) 3. Pour half of the bottle of dye into the water 4. Sit fabric in water for 30-60 minutes (I only put half of my piece of fabric because I'm doing ombre) 5. Rinse fabric out until water is clear 6. Dry fabric 7. Enjoy your ombre design!
