With the rise of online shopping, it's easy to get caught up in buying new clothes. However, a creative woman has found a way to breathe new life into old garments using a surprising ingredient: avocados.
According to a recent TikTok video, all you need is an avocado pit to create a beautiful blush pink dye. The process is surprisingly simple and requires just a few steps.
First, rinse the avocado pit under the tap to remove any remaining flesh. Then, place the pit in a saucepan of water, cover it, and bring to a boil. Once the water turns a dark ruby color, turn off the heat and let it steep overnight.
After eight hours, carefully place the item of clothing you want to dye into the saucepan, making sure it's fully saturated. Leave it to sit for another eight hours before rinsing with water and washing it in the machine.
The result is a stunning blush pink color that's perfect for adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. The video has gained significant attention, with over 6.2 million views and thousands of comments.
Many users have praised the natural dye method, with one person saying, 'Love this!! Natural dyes are super cool!!' Another user joked, 'Or just put in the wash with a red sock.'
Published on June 28, 2020, the video has sparked a lot of interest in the DIY community, with many users eager to try out this creative hack.
