In this video, Ethan walks you through his simple process of making natural walnut dye to stain/dye the fabric he uses in his traditional craft and accouterment projects. You'll learn how to make walnut dye the easy way.

Walnuts have been used since the early days of the Roman Empire to dye cloth and paper dark brown or black. In the early American Colonies, the walnut dye was used to color clothing, changing colors from light and bright to dark and earthy in color. Many items of a longhunter's attire would be stained or dyed with walnuts to help them blend into the american frontier.
