The other day I came across this cool tea tin. Now I'm not a big fan of Jasmine or any floral tea for that matter but I did like the tin. Who knew it would be full of tea. Not wanting to actually drink it I decided to do a little experiment. I had some scraps of muslin so I heated some water and threw the muslin and tea in with it and let it sit all day while I was out and about.
It didn't get as dark as I believe black tea would have but the fabric strips are a nice aged color.
So what did I do with them you ask...
a little layered fabric hair accessory for my girl.

Great dye job and love the hair bow! So if you don't like floral teas what kind do you like? Caffeine or not?
I used to never drink hot tea and I also have to stay away from caffeine....so I experimented with herbal teas since most are caffeine free and I found I LOVE hot mint tea with some honey put in it! YUM!
Just starting to create today's tea post, but stopped by because I have a tin of that very same tea. Bought it in CA, but found it about half the cost at the local Asian market. Jasmine tea is a green tea, and will not get dark. It's amazing you got it as dark as you did. Love the hair bow thingy.
Love how you took Jasmine Tea and made dye...I would have been drawn to the tin too!
Sweet hair deco you created too!
