DIY Natural Dyed Linen Napkins

dyed linen napkins laid out on marble counter with eucalyptus

I’ve been wanting to try more natural dye since trying avocados last year and LOVING how it turned out! I had some extra white linen around but wanted to give it a warmer orange/brown-ish tone so that it would be a better fit with my Thanksgiving decor! So I did a little research and decided to try a bit of paprika with some brown onion skins. You can’t quite tell in the photos but they’re a great light shade of a rusty brown tone and they dyed slightly unevenly just enough to give the fabric a bit of extra texture! Just delicious! I want to try it again using soy milk like with the avocado dyed blanket.
