My daughter is a girly girl. She loves to accessorise and will not wear pants, ever. Not even jeggings. I decided to see how fast, and cheap, I could make a skirt. I made the skirt and the headband from first the first cut to the last stitch in 1 hour, and the fabric and elastic was $8.00.

I love the unique texture and color you get when you dye paper with tea. I have used this technique to make books and textures in Photoshop for design projects. I really like this post on Once Wed by Mara of Nether Snow. She outlines great instructions and uses color dyes as well, for a very soft and beautiful effect. This is the inspiration I have needed to try a project with natural dyes!

Two dollars and three hours later I had two garlands and a wreath! Cheap and easy, just like I like it!
