Let's Natural Dye with Autumn Leaves

Another nature made art technique that uses what is in abundance around is - Autumn Leaves, because today we embark on a journey together in making our own natural dyed leaf fabric! For this you can dye an already made garment or fabric that you want to make into your own clothes - which I have been doing! If you are excited to do this process, make the iron water first! The rest can easily be done in an afternoon, but the rust takes a bit of time to make but is super easy! I will share every bit of the process, from the supplies, to the technique and a few of my struggles and ideas along the way. I hope you enjoy it and if you do make it, please share it with me using the #artclasswithdeanna and tagging me! I am happy to give advice along the way as well. Happy Making friends! See below for a breakdown of supplies. Supplies: A pot (for dying) Heat Resistant Gloves Natural fiber (linen or cotton) garment or fabric - washed! An extra cloth String or yarn Container (to soak leaves) PH Neutral soap Autumn leaves For the Iron Water A handful of found scrap metal 1 part Vinegar 2 parts Water Fill above supplies in a mason jar with lid & leave for 2 weeks to strengthen rust To check out my nature made art visit my website!
