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.  

Included:

1 x 20” x 20” prepped (scoured and mordanted) upcycled cotton bandana

1 x cotton string

1 x test square for a practice round

(plants to dye with NOT included)

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 dont have one, piling up heat safe steel utenstils inside your pot can work too.)

4. Tongs or a fork
