This tutorial explains and shows how to self-print beautiful designs with plant leaves and flower petals onto linnen, wool and silk fabrics, using only natural ingredients.

List of materials you need before starting:
fabrics to print on (best are silk & wool, but with a lot of acid you can print on cotton and linnen as well)
plant material to use for printing
edible vinegar
iron acid (2/3 vinegar, 1/3 water, a handful of rusty nails - leave for weeks in a glass jar)
cotton thread or rope
spraying bottle
wooden sticks
acrylic gloves
ph-neutral soap
large cooking pot (optionally also with a steamer)
optional: protective glasses (recommended, if you also work with iron acid)
optional: cooker for outside use, as the cooking of the fabrics makes your house smell strongly of vinegar

Plants that I have used (this selection is just my own experience, of course there are many more that bring great results, you just have to experiment with your local flora):
eucalyptus leaves
rose petals and leaves
nut tree leaves
strawberry leaves
raspberry leaves
blackberryberry leaves
onion peel (yellow and red, just the dry outer layer)
turmeric (curcuma)
ground coffee beans / coffee powder
cabbage
grass straws

If you want to experiment with new plants, I recommend combining them with plants that you know yield a good result, this way you still can get a beautiful design, even if your experimented plants do not work so well.

You can print on both new and used/2nd hand fabrics, just make sure they all are washed thoroughly before you start the printing.

Have fun and enjoy!
