Creating natural dyes from everyday items is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic dyes. One such method is using avocado pits to create a beautiful pink dye. The process is simple, just save the avocado pits from your summer meals, clean and dry them, and then boil them overnight.

The following morning, soak a few muslin cheesecloths in the mixture for several hours, and voila! You have a beautiful pink dye for your textile projects. You can also try experimenting with other natural items such as green tea to create a beautiful yellow dye. These homemade dyes not only add a unique touch to your projects but also promote sustainable living by repurposing commonly discarded items.
