After
my first experiment with rust dyeing, my collection of rusty bits grew. Last week my husband gave me a rusty tin box.
I just had to try rusting fabric with that. I took a piece of white cotton and soaked it in a mix of water and vinegar. Then I just crumpled it in the tin box and wrapped the box in a plastic bag. The inside of my box looked like this after 2 days.
I rinsed my fabric in water, soaked it in water with soda for a few hours and hand washed it first. Then I washed it in the washing machine.

I like this little detail.
I'm sure I will use the same box again, the result is very pretty!
