    Snow is fun, but you can get interesting results without it.

    Soak your fabric. Scrunch it up and put in a zip top bag. Drip a little dye in the bag here and there and zip it up. Let it sit overnight, flipping it over occasionally. Rinse as usual...easy and pretty too.

    Thanks for the info Mel. All we ever made with deep snow was snow cream (and we didn't do that this time either). I haven't dyed anything in long time, so I'll have to stock up on supplies and await another snow storm, LOL.

    What fun! We rarely see snowflakes here in Florida, but when we visit friends back East, we can taking along the supplies for a neat craft!

    Where was this info when we had a record snow fall in TX earlier this month?? LOL! We are suppose to get another inch or two tomorrow, but no time to gather supplies. Maybe next year. Sounds like fun.

    My snow came at the same time yours did. I had to scamper out and do the project before it was all gone. (it was 66 here yesterday)

    What a great idea for the Winter Blahs. Up here in Nova Scotia we get lots of snowfalls, sometimes deep, othertimes not. Some of you more Southern people have actually had more than us this year. I can harly wait to see all those dyes outside, kinda like Spring. Cheers every one.
