HOW TO MAKE NATURAL DYE WITH RED ONION SKIN | ORGANIC COLOR | PINK MAROON BROWN | RECYCLE

Red onion skin is a natural way to create pink & maroon dye for your textile and craft projects by using your kitchen waste. Start collecting skins when you use onion in your cooking instead of throwing them away. If you don't cook with onions, no problem! The produce department in your local grocery store will happily give you their skins if you ask for them. This tutorial will show you how to brew dye from the skins, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (cotton, bamboo & silk) with various mordants.
