Natural Ink Colors

Dying your own clothes and bags can be a great way to customize, but how do you do it? It turns out you can use parts of food you ordinarily wouldn’t eat or pollinator flowers to create several colors!

Special thanks to Mel Williams for instructing us on these options and demonstrating how it’s done.
