Bundle Dye Bandana Kits

Many plants have color within them just waiting to be extracted. In order for a fiber to hold onto these botanical hues, the fabric must be properly prepared. I have taken care of the up-front business so that you can have fun with plants without having to prep the fabric too much before dyeing.  This is a fun activity you can enjoy without previous dye experience. The time commitment is about an hour. The bandana included is prepped and ready to be used and step by step instructions walk you through the process.

Included:

1 x 22” x 22” scoured and mordanted cotton bandana

1 x cotton string

instructions and plant information

(plants to dye with are NOT included, but a list of easily accessible plants IS included. You can use things like paprika, turmeric, onion skin, buckthorn berries, elder berries, sumac leaves, sumac berries, and black tea)

Tools Needed:

1. tabletop

2. a small stove top pot with a tight fitting lid

3. a steaming basket that fits inside your pot. (if you don't have one, piling up heat safe steel utensils inside your pot can work too.)
