Making dye

Dyes are found in many different places like hats,plastic stuff and clothing.There are many different types of dye like food colouring dye and you can even make your one dye too out of tea bags and beetroot. Dye also stains and is very hard to get off. Dye is used evey day and we also eat dye too like eating food that has juice in it. You can also use dye to colour the backround of paintings and famous people use it all the time. So that's dye. Wow.

What can you make dye out of?

First we got a pot and a some beetroot and then you cut up the beetroot and fill the pot with enough water to cover the top of the beetroot. Next you boil the beetroot at 100 degrees celcius. I thought that the beetroot would dye the water a redish pinkish colour but it didn't, It change to a dark pink colour.

What colour did the water change?

Next we drained the beetroot with a sieve and put it into a another bowl. Next we got some calico material and we dipped it into the bowl.I thought that the beetroot would get smaller but it didn't it dyed the calico material dark pink. Next we got the calico material and drown it in the liquid that was left. Next we hung the material up to dry.
