D.I.Y | Dye with Tea

For my current project I needed to dye the fabric to give it a more antique look. Instead of spending money on dye I used this simple mess free method to get that antique effect.

What you'll need:

• Individual tea bags (about 6)
• Large Pot or Sauce Pan
• Canvas bag or any white cotton fabric
• Tongs or Large Spoon

1.  Boil water, reduce heat and steep 6 individual packets of tea (more if you want a darker shade.)
2.  Once it is at the desired color turn off heat.
3. Submerge fabric in the tea using tongs or a large spoon to keep it under the tea water.
4. Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes.
5. Drain the tea water and rinse the fabric under cold water.
6. Twist to get as much water out of the fabric and let dry (either by using a dryer or hanging)

What you end up with is a tan/beige tone for your fabric at a very low cost.
