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.
