Make a dye bath by adding water based paint, food colour or natural dyes to water.
I like to use natural dyes. For this green colour I used spinach. You can also use berries, flowers and roots. Even tea and coffee works well.

Shape the coil while wet. I wanted to create a spring shape for my design.
Tie the coil and hang to dry.
