Plant Palette: Bundle Dye Technique

Dye a bandana with flowers and leaves of your choice.

During the first hour, with Mafer, you will get to know the plants we dye with by creating a sample that you get to keep. Then, you choose the ones you like best, wrap them inside a recycled cotton bandana from The New Denim Project, and let the heat do the rest. When you open it, every leaf and flower will have left its mark right where it touched the fabric.

What's Included

• 1.5 to 2 hours at La Casita studio with Mafer.
• One hour to learn about the plants we dye with and test them on your own color sample.
• A recycled cotton bandana from The New Denim Project, dyed by you using the bundle dye technique.

What You Take Home
