How do I make a plant-based dye from garden plants

Sure! Here are four different ways you can make plant-based dye from garden plants:

**Using Beetroot**: Just chop up some fresh beets and put them in a pot with water. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about an hour. Strain the liquid, and you’ll have a vibrant pinkish-red dye! You can use it on natural fabrics like cotton or wool.

**Getting Yellow from Marigolds**: Grab a handful of marigold flowers and toss them in a pot with water. Boil it for about 30 minutes, then strain out the flowers. The resulting liquid will give you a lovely yellow dye. It’s super easy and smells nice too!

**Making Green Dye with Spinach**: If you have spinach in your garden, blend a couple of cups of fresh leaves with a bit of water until smooth. Strain the mixture to get the juice. Boil it down a little to concentrate the color, and you’ve got a natural green dye ready to use!
