I felt like doing something handmade today so I tried Avocado skin dying paper. If you’re interested I used the skins and pits from 2 Avocados and a teaspoon of baking soda. I filled the pot almost to the top, boiled it and let the mixture simmer for an hour. Then I just poured in in a tray and layered the paper in. It’s a mix of copy paper and card stock. It makes this really pretty dusty pink, the photos don’t do it justice. [Image description: A photo collage of four photos. The first image is of two avocado skins and pits in a pot on the stove. The second image is a disposable baking tray filled with paper and soaking in a red liquid. The third picture ins of seven torn scraps of paper from the previous picture dyed a soft pink. The forth pictures if of a stack of full size paper dyed a soft pink color] -- source link
