==๐ฟ How to make eco print on paper| Eco dying| Crafty Patti ๐จ==
โจ Find out all the secrets to creating beautiful eco prints using flowers and leaves! In this detailed video, I show you step-by-step how to prepare your paper, set up your steaming pot, and select the best botanicals for vibrant results. Whether you're new to eco dyeing or a seasoned nature crafter, you'll learn something new!
๐ Answer to the question: What created the yellow print?
โ Basil, celery leaves & red lettuce
โ ๏ธ Important Note:
Some plants can emit toxins when steamed. Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask when eco printing. Hydrangea and foxglove are beautiful, but toxic if ingested or handled without care.
