Bundle dyeing is a natural dye technique which allows the direct application of botanical colours from flowers, food waste and other plant materials onto natural fibre cloth (cotton, linen, silk or wool). In this Makers Manual we will be focusing on flowers and plant material to create a unique print design for a drawstring bag. This is an introduction into the world of printmaking and natural dyeing, feel free to try this out on any textiles you have at home.
