A MODERN TWIST FOR YOUR BEACH TOWEL
Turn an old tablecloth or an old sheet into a beautiful, summery beach towel! The simplicol intensive textile dye helps to freshen up old fabrics with bright colors – and in no time at all in the washing machine. With a fringed border glued all around, the beach towels become an essential summer companion – whether at the lake, on vacation or for a picnic in the park.

Let's go!
For a batik pattern with concentric circles, take the fabric in the middle, lift it up and gather the falling fabric into a strand. Tie this strand together tightly from front to back with cable ties at equal or increasing intervals (depending on how far apart the circles are to be later).
For a second batik variation with a surprise effect, simply crumple up the fabric as desired and secure the resulting package firmly with several cable ties.
One simplicol dye intensive is required for each color. Unscrew the textile dye bottle and cut open the packet with the color fixer. Put the fabric dye, color fixer and fabric into the washing machine together. Now dye the fabric on a 40°C easy-care wash cycle. After the wash cycle, remove the fabric from the washing machine and leave to dry.
For a fringed border, gradually apply textile glue all around the edge of the fabric, press on a fringed border and leave to dry well. Alternatively, this trim can also be sewn on.
Ready!
