I have just figured that some works have the background coloured.
I have AIDA fabric, and I want to know if there is some tip for dying it, without messing it up.
I heard that you can dye it with tea, but I want it to be in different colours. Any idea?

I want it to be something like the cushion one.

I know that there exists special anilines in the commerce in order to change fabric colors, I haven't try, but you could test with a little piece.

you can put 1 /2 cup of salt , let stay for 10 minutes before squizze ... salt fix the color ... include vegetables and fruits ... I already use juice of grapes.

Fruits have sugar .... you do this:
10 minutes with salt ..... wash with no much more water... for take off the sugar ... after that .... put to dry.
