Dyed Wooden Blocks

How To

• Submerge the Wooden Object (Ex. bowls, acorns, coins, blocks, family pegs, barrels, eggs, etc.) You want to submerge them just enough to cover the top, about half an inch.
• Once you have measured the amount of water you need, remove the wooden object, and add 10-12 drops of color dye. For the red, add crimson to help achieve a rich red color. For purple, rather than mixing red and blue, find a pure purple color dye and add two drops of blue to help enrich the color.
• Insert the wooden material and weigh it down with a glass object.
• After 20 minutes, check your material. You can leave it in longer for a deeper color if you wish.
• You can use a strainer, tongs or gloves to remove the item. Set it standing upright on a paper towel and let dry overnight.
