I am allergic to almost everything artifical.
So when it comes to dying cloth, paper or my salt srubs, I use tea. I also dye my lipgloss this way
Its cheap and effective and if you love the smell of tea, its grand.
Fruit teas add a splash of red-purples
Black Teas(like Earl Grey) and a beige-light brown effect
Green teas are mellow, have a uplifting sent and a light yellow-green hue.

I LOVE the smell of tea - especially green tea. I'd like to see some of the stuff you've dyed :)

That's such a great idea - simple and easy, but I never would have thought of it!

I tried this once with onion parings. Makes a nice orange-brown...but tea certainly smells MUCH better!

Thanks again for posting this - based on this tutorial, I dyed some paper to make it look aged, then wrote Shakespeare quotes on them for my English class :-)

I dyed some paper for an aged affect for a history project! Turned out great! My teacher liked it so much she asked to keep it as an example! Thanks so much!
