What a fun time of year! We picked marigolds from our garden, removed the petals and soaked them overnight. The next day, we boiled the petals for a while and then strained them out. This left a beautiful, golden liquid to which we added salt. We stirred well and then add a new white silk scarf and allowed it to soak all day and all night ... stirring frequently. The next morning ... a beautiful yellow scarf that we turned into a cape of courage. Boo Boo was so excited about the whole process and loved dancing and parading around in her glorious cape!
