How to Ice Dye Kaleidoscope Mandalas

Create colorful dyed bursts on fabric, using ice cubes and powdered dye. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Make your own enviable fabric stash for quilting or sewing. The technique can be used to create striking designs on clothing or scarves, too! If you like tie dye, you'll love ice dye!
