Beet Dye
This is about the easiest of the natural red dyes to make. It only takes a couple of grocery store cans. This dye is reddish. The intensity of the red color will depend on the length of time you leave your fabric in the dye and the variety of beets used.
Materials:
2 (15 ounce) cans of cooked beets*
sieve
container to collect dye
material to be dyed
Directions:
1. Open the cans of beets and strain them.
2. Use the juice from the cans as the dye.
3. Let the material soak in the dye until the desired color intensity is reached.
*You can also used home canned beets if you choose. Even though I’ve tried using the juice from the home canned pickled beets, it doesn’t work quite as well because the beet juice is diluted with vinegar and sugar.
Are you sleepy, tired, or worn out most of the time?
If you would like to know why you are so tired and how to get the energy back into your life -- even if you've tried *everything* -- then read this entire article.
