  • This is my way how I do eco-dyeing since I dont have any options on larger scale to keep papers flat. I use a pot which I bought for 50cents at a flea market for melting candle wax leftovers to make new candles. I saw someone else already using this idea, I got inspired. Papers come bit wrinkled even after ironing but that just adds to their uniqueness :) I dont use any alum (cant even get it in my country), no rusty objects, only using old teas ( I mostly use tea to break the smell of cooked leaves, preferably do this in ventilated space). I use random papers I have around, nothing specific.

    Fantastic, this is by far the most practical procedure of eco paper dyeing , I’ve come across for those of us with limited space. Thank you for sharing this.

    Thank you, Sova! I thought I couldn't do this because other videos say you must boil for three hours! You only boil for 30 minutes, and that is reasonable. I will try it!

    Try heating the leftover water and "tea dye" paper. Or bottle it and use it later or share with a friend?

    • @madebysova
      @madebysova  Před 3 lety +2

      that is a good idea, thank you. Many times though I pour it away fast due to fact that those cooked leaves and plants create often a rather strong odor and since I use my kitchen in the house which is directly connected to my living room, everyone gets headache from the strong smell. So i use tea to soften the smell but it doesnt always work. So i try to get rid of that liquid fast. But if the weather is nice I can definitely use the rest for tea dyeing outside
