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
