Let's Get Crafty
At The Little Bungalow we are all about keeping the peace, spreading love and joy and being kind to others. This magic peace sign tapestry wall hanging is a fun project to keep the peace in your little bungalows. What’s so magical about it? It’s made with only a few materials.
Batik printing has always intrigued me. Batik is an Indonesian technique of using a wax resisting dying method which leaves you with some beautiful printed fabrics. I used the same concept here but with glue instead of wax. Just follow the simple instructions and start creating your very own peaceful piece… - Caitlin Peck

PEACE SIGN TAPESTRY INSTRUCTIONS.
Lay your fabric down over your plastic (this prevents the glue from damaging your table or surface you are working on)
Next using your paint brush and washable glue start painting your peace sign. Make sure the glue is going on pretty thick so it blocks any color from seeping in during the dying process.
Once your peace sign is all painted out let it dry completely. It must be fully dry in order for it to work.
BY THE WAY.
This is one of my favorite projects and I have a feeling it might become one of yours too! Keep the peace, be kind, and be inspired to inspire others!

Mix your dye color in water and place your painted fabric into the dye. Let it soak for about 5-10 minutes or until your reached your desired color.
Wash under cold water until water runs clear. Hang to dry. Wash again under luke warm water to eliminate any left over glue.
Your peace sign image will be left behind making for a beautiful tapestry to display in your little bungalow!
