Natural Dyes
I dyed a white tank top yesterday with turmeric and paprika. I loved the outcome for the most past except for a couple of spots that are just red. I boiled half a pot of water and a full thing of a small container of turmeric. Once it was boiling I dipped in my shirt and stirred it around for awhile. The next part was tricky though. I took it upstairs to let it drip into the bath (bad idea), after seeing the yellow stain on my bath tub, I moved the shirt into the kitchen sink. Once it dried a little i washed it but didn't put it in the dryer. I just love the colour, now to cleverly disguise my red spot.
