Scrunchie Summer Flowers Bundle Dye Workshop

About

Join Tara for this workshop in the wonderful art of botanical dyeing to create your own gorgeous scrunchie! These scrunchies really make a statement and would also make a great gift.

There are so many plants and flowers that yield incredible colour and have been used for centuries to dye our textiles. Bundle dyeing; the gentle steaming of plant colour directly onto cloth, is the perfect way to introduce yourself to this fascinating craft. During this workshop you will create your own beautiful botanically dyed giant cotton velvet scrunchie using various petals, leaves and extracts and gathered flowers. The perfect way to capture some of the beauty of summer onto something you can wear again and again. You will be provided with a pre sewn giant scrunchie that is ready to dye. You will just need to pop in the provided elastic and stitch the gap after dyeing and you will be ready to go!
