I folded the sheet in half, diagonally, and pinched a large tear-drop shape. I've found if it's a symmetrical design, it can be folded and dyed~! In lieu of experimenting with expensive sheets, you can get a pack of 6 handkerchiefs for about $2 and test your designs first. - Remember; the more carefully and precisely you pleat fabric, the better it will come out. - Best of Luck.

I'm very new to anything other then randomly dying things and would love to know how you made that. At the risk of sounding very stupid, how did you get the infinity symbol?

The house is about 4' wide and the run the remaining 6'. The girls roost high in the coop at dark. We built it for 6 chicks, believing 4 or 5 would be hens but ended up with just 3 egg-layers. The area could accommodate a few more, but 3 eggs/day is more than sufficient for our consumption and sharing with friends. It's insulated now and has it's own electrical supply; two heat sources, thermostat and outlets for accessories, like water heater. The hens are happy despite 10º temps and gusting winds this week and we receive 3 eggs every day. _wkp Hello and thank you for stopping by,
