Without dying your washing machine!
These are all the supplies you will need, don't forget to use gloves or you will run the risk of dying your hands.
Fill the basin with hot water (according to the pack instructions) I used one tablespoon of red dye so that I could get different shades of pink.
To get the various shades of pink, I left certain doilies in trims in for longer. When you lift them the out of the water you will be able to tell which has soaked up more colour etc. I found that some vintage linens took a little longer to absorb.
Make sure you don't forget to lay paper down and protect the floor. To see how the trims looked when finished, check out the blog post! Half way down the post.
