The Dogwood Dyer's Painting + Printing with Marigold Flowers Kit is a wonderful gift or introduction for the natural dye novice, color enthusiast, artist, or dyer looking to work with raw natural dyestuff in a multitude of ways.
This kit is very versatile and can do quite a bit:
Make paint with flowers & modify for multiple colors- with application possibilities on fabric/fibers, paper, wood & more!
Bundle dye or print with flowers
Immersion dye for solid colors & tie/bind “Shibori” techniques for many surface design possibilities
A wonderful at home experience well suited as an activity with children (adult supervision is recommended).

Organic cotton bandana (24” x 24”)
Marigold Flowers- organically grown on a family farm in the USA

The Kit comes contained in a 100% post consumer recycled cardboard box printed in the US with eco-friendly inks and arrives in a non-plastic home compostable mailer (made from cornstarch).
There is enough pre-fixative in your kit for treating more than just the included bandana so you can try your hand on existing garments or linens in your home- (painting & bundle dyeing with natural dyes is one of my favorite ways to revive and breath new life into old dingy or stained garments).
