Rainbow Family

How To

• Take your chosen wooden objects (bowls, acorns, coins, blocks, family pegs, barrels, eggs, etc.), and 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 objects, and add 10-12 drops of color dye. For the red, add crimson to help achieve a rich 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 materials and weigh them down with a glass object.
• After 20 minutes, check your materials. You can leave them in longer for a deeper color if you wish!
• You can use a strainer, tongs, or gloves to remove the items. Set them standing upright on a paper towel and let dry overnight.
