Designer Audrey Louise Reynolds uses fresh veggies and fruits to dye her wearables. Yum—No harsh chemicals here! All of her ingredients for the all-natural dye ends up costing about the same amount that you would pay (about $5) for your typical Rit dye. See how she does it in this Daily Candy Video:

Ingredients:
- 1 blouse (dye should last for about 3-4 blouses)
- 1 pkg Pantyhose
- 1 pint Strawberries (cut tops off)
- Salt
- Vinegar
- Water
I can’t wait to try this! Beets would probably work just as well with a bit of a darker more purple hue. I’m wondering how you would do black naturally?
