It's cost-effective, non-toxic, and <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/eco-friendly-fabric\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eco-friendly<\/a>. It's derived from renewable resources and is biodegradable; it can be disposed of safely in your kitchen sink. These are all things to feel good about, but beyond the practical, there's the meditative, gratifying art of natural dye making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The colors achieved using natural DIY dye are earthy and organic, and the results are variable and inconsistent in the best way possible. What artist wants to create the same masterpiece twice? The inspiration for your palette is everywhere: in your spice drawer, your backyard, and blooming in your flowerbed. It quite literally grows on trees. Here's a little to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For blue, use hyacinth, mulberries, or dogwood fruit.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"natural diy dye\" class=\"wp-image-33918 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries-500x373.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mulberries.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;

You may want to bookmark this article so you can refer back to these instructions. Ready? Boil, then strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's it. There are some finer intricacies, like using pots and utensils that you're not very attached to and wearing rubber gloves so you don't stain your hands, but making natural dye is really that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create deeper colors by boiling your ingredients longer, and you can vary the shade and brightness of your dye by using different mordants when preparing your fabric or yarn. A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mordant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mordant<\/a> is simply a color fixative; it helps bind the dye to the fibers. Some natural mordants include vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making your own all-natural DIY dye is not only thrifty and environmentally smart, but it's also a creative and rewarding process.
