Dyeing Paper

Q: Any tips for using your indigo kit to dye paper?

A: I have no experience dyeing paper, so I can’t speak to that, but I do have some general tips. Soak your material first (if possible, are you using cotton rag?) as this will allow the dye to penetrate the paper properly and not just sit on top where it can be scratched off easily.

Longer dips will give you a more lasting, penetrating dye transfer.
