About
a great natural dye
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.

Step 1
first take a few tea bags, I use about three to four.
place in bowl and add hot water. Let it steep for a bit(5 mins or more) remove tea bags.
and TADA, dye.
-
Step 2
now to dye paper, place the sheet of paper in a flat square pan. Pour mix over it and shift back and forth.
take sheet out and hang dry.
(paper dying works best on card stock)
-
Step 3
dying cloth, easy.
dip the cloth in the mix. In and out a few times. or if your feeling daring, put it in the mix for about 5 to 10 minutes.
take the cloth out and hang dry.
-
Step 4
want to add colour to your product?
soap, scrub or lipgloss?
just pour a bit into the mix and continue.
