Family activity: how to make natural dyes

Family activity: how to make natural dyes

Grab some kitchen scraps and start making your own natural dyes with Alison

You will need:

  • some kitchen scraps, such as onion skins, red cabbage, turmeric, or avocado skins and stones
  •  a chopping board and knife
  • a saucepan
  • a sieve
  • cotton or linen cloth
  • elastic bands
  • an adult to help you chop and boil!

 

We'd love to see a photo of your natural tie dye creation!
