It's natural hand dying time!
Turmeric and Coffee
+
Water
Vinegar
1. First boil your natural ingredients in a pot with water for about an hour
2. In a separate pot, place your fabric in a solution of water and vinegar (4 parts water, 1 part vinegar). Let boil for an hour
3. Once your natural ingredients have been 'cooking' for an hour, strain all the remnants out. In this case, coffee grounds and turmeric clumps.
(Note: The vinegar is used so that the dye will adhere permanently to the fabric)
4. Once you have strained your dye and fabric, combine both in a stainless steel bowl and mix around (use a wooden spoon, as it is very hot!)
5. After mixing, let it soak overnight for best (vibrant) results!
Happy Dying!
Pictures to come of the Turmeric/Coffee combination (It turned out a beautiful brownish-yellow)
HOWEVER: This is the result of the red onion peels and blueberries.
In love.
I am thinking; bed sheets, pillow cases and pillows!
