There are so many amazing things that you can do with

fresh red cabbage 

For a fun weekend project – making dye: purple, pink or an intense blue!

Boil 1/2-1 head of chopped cabbage covered in water

Add 1 Tbs of salt for each 1/2 of a cabbage

Strain out cabbage (save that for dinner!) and keep liquid in pan

For Blue – add a 1 Tbs of baking soda or an ammonia

For Pink – add 2 Tbs of white vinegar

For purple – leave as is

Now soak the desired material and have FUN!

*this will wash out eventually, so try with non clothing items or just dye a shirt for temporary fun.

Experiment fabric gift bags for the holidays!

Let it dry in the sun completely.
