Natural dye with onion skin

The Jeggs flag dyed by turmeric to the bright yellow.
Some other natural thing makes yellow color as well. It's a onion skin, did you know?
This is fun and easy to dye at home. Kids will love it. 

Put collected onion skin about 5full hands in a mesh bag and soak it in the water for few hours. 
The onion water bring to boil. Put the fabric in water to get wet first. Stop the heat and put the fabrics in the onion soup. Let them take a bath in it.
Sometime you need to stair to make sure the fabric suck the onion juice well.
Prepar the second soup with Alum. Alum keep the color on.
If you use Iron soup, it will be a gray color. I'll go crazy yellow!
It is so much fun to do once in a while. Start collect the skin! If you use red onion skin, it will become light green color! 
Have fun!
