5 steps to our naturally dying kits

  • Soaking scrunchie in water

    Step 1 - Soak the Fabric

    Open your DIY kit and remove the material. The material is pre-treated in a natural organic product and ready to dye. This first step you simply soak the fabric in water and squeeze the water out before laying the fabric on your table.

    Step 2 - Lay Flat and Add Flowers

    Lay the material on a flat surface and cover with flowers.

    You can use both dried and fresh flowers in the dying process.

    If you want to add flowers to both sides of the material, use a piece of fabric to lay over the top of the first side after adding the flowers, then simply flip the material to add flowers to the opposite side.
