Natural dying is literally dying fabrics with various materials from nature. Home dyeing is a simple way to color anything, from clothes, sheets to tatty poodles. Home grown colors are often subtle and distinctive, such as bush and garden shades of golds, greens and reds. It is because natural dyes from plant leaves, stems, fruits, or flowers have unique pigments. These natural colors are low in saturation and create subtle yet beautiful colors. The basic dyeing ingredients are easily grown or scavenged.
'Green' parents try to limit the amount of exposure to harmful dyes and chemicals. This is a fantastic healthy recipe for playdough that smells better, lasts longer and is much more pliable than the commercial kind.
Making potpourri is enjoyable, easy and doesn't necessitate owning an old-fashioned cottage garden. You can beg, borrow or buy most of the aromatic flowers and leaves and with the addition of a pinch of spice a little orris root powder and a few drops of oil, create a nose-twitching mixture. Packaged colourfully and artisically you have a beautiful and unique gift.
Beads, like buttons have been around since skins and fabrics were first fashioned into clothing. They have been created from an assortment of natural materials in all sizes and shapes and have been used for a wide range of symbolic, practical and decorative purposes.
Handmade tooth fairy cushions, add your own touch and you have an original gift. These cushions have little pockets on them for a small child to put their tooth and a letter to the tooth Fairy when a tooth falls out.
