If you’re going to be spending a ton of time in the kitchen between now and Thanksgiving, why not whip up some natural dyes while you’re at it? Heather from Poppy Haus is spending the week working on a term project for a textiles class, and she’s been experimenting with food scraps that you’ve probably got on hand right now. You’ll definitely want to take a look what she’s discovered so far! (I don’t know about you, but I’m really intrigued by the black beans!)
Want to give it a try? Here are a few more natural dyeing resources to get you started:
