Any good Etsy sellers? Looking for some for DD's bday. Possibly a collection of small ones in different colors.

I made my own, and it's very fun. :) I ordered blanks from Dharma Trading company and then dyed them with Kool-Aid.

What a great site! I wanted to make some playsilks but wasn't sure where to get them. They also have cheap white dresses...I think I'll give dip dying a try.

I made my own as well last summer for DD's 2nd bday. I really enjoyed it. I used Dharma Trading blanks too and Kool-Aid and Wilton icing dyes (to get some more vibrant colors). I used a LOT of vinegar too. I got the Wilton icing dyes from a craft store.

I had a 'Dyeing Party' at my house--5 moms put in a group order and then dyed them together. Lots of fun, giggles and one late night trip to the grocery for some more vinegar. ( we used Wilton Cake colors)

We bought a set of 36x36 in a rainbow of colors from bumbershoot baby (not sure if that site is still in business...she was/is a BBB mom :)

I added to our collection and dyed some as gifts buying through Dharma. We used Easter Egg dye tablets, and I also experimented w/ some natural dyes (coffee/curry mix made a beautiful, beautiful golden color :) )).

It isn't hard. I've done stovetop and microwave. Oh, and we once made a loooong scarf for a playstand canopy for DS and dyed it in rainbow stripes.

We have some small hankie style ones in addition to the 36x36 style.
