Here is a Card that Alison Callcott has made with some blue denim recycled from an old pair of jeans which she has dyed with Ozecraft Chocolate and Turquoise dyes. Alison has included examples of the original blue denim above the card.

Other products used when making the card are:

• white cardstock,
• brown velvet cardstock,
• Big Shot Circles die,
• Sizzix Round & Round border die,
• white eyelets and
• Kaiser rhinestones.

Again the denim was dyed with 100% full strength dye.

Step 1
Alison found both the Turquoise and Chocolate dyes to be very strong so the blue denim was only in the dyes for a short amount of time.
Step 2
Additionally, to make the most of my dyes, Alison squeezed the denim circles to ensure any excess dyed returned to the container she was using.
Step 3
Alison then laid the denim circles on an old towel so as to not stain any surface and they dried reasonably quickly ... as quickly as any wet fabric would.

When using the Ozecraft dyes Alison primarily used small recycled yoghurt containers to pour the dye into.
