I am working on a toy for my core class at OCADU,  I am majoring in Industrial Design in case you didn't know. For the project I have to make a product repurposing a material. I bought white shirts from Value Village, specifically white so I could dye them myself. I love working with textiles and thought this would be a great time to try natural dyes. These one is made from strawberries. 

Here are the steps I followed: 
Bowl water
Cut up strawberries
Bowl strawberries for a half an hour 
Strain the berries out of the water
Soaked the clean and damp shirt in the strawberry juice 
Wait a few hours, rung out the shirt and hung it to dry. 
There are tons of other plants you can use, here's the tutorial I followed:

I will post pictures of my final design when I'm finished. 

Also here's Kyle and I, he took most of the photos.
