Dyeing Queen Anne’s Lace

Do you remember dyeing carnations when you were a kid?  I do.  We’d put white carnations in jars with colored water and the carnations would change color….magic!   I saw some Queen Anne’s Lace dyed the same way…..beautiful!  I thought it would be a fun project for camp so I tried it.  I learned you need to start with darker water than I used.  After a few days I noticed a faint color change but not much.  The flowers were pretty in the colored water jars though.  You can find Queen Anne’s lace growing along the road side all over “West County”.  I don’t think anyone minds if you pick it.
