Tea Dying- To give linen an antique look or to hide stains.  This also a wonderful way to extend the life of worn sheets, or white or beige scrap material. It can also give new life to old placemats, dollies and handkerchiefs.

 

This technique works on white or light colored linen. 

4 – 20 black tea bags (depends on the size of the article to dye)

4 bags = 1-2 napkins

20 bags = 1 small table cloth

Sauce Pan (size depends on the article to dye)

Medium sauce pan = 2 – 4 napkins

Large pasta pan = 1 small table cloth

 

1. Fill ½ of the pan with water.

2. Add the tea bags. The more tea bags you use the darker the color.

3. Bring to a boil over high heat.

4. Remove from heat.

5. Soak article to be dyed in pan with tea bags. Be sure to get all areas wet.

6. Let it soak for…

10 minutes for light color

30 minutes for medium color

1 hour for darkest color

7. Stir every 5 minutes to get even color.

8. Wring out all liquid.

9. To set the new color, place in the dryer. Be sure to clean the dryer after use, so you don’t stain the next load of laundry.

10. If you need to hang dry it, iron it when it’s almost dry. The heat helps to set the color.

11. If it is too dark, wash it with detergent before drying.
