Today we want to show you how to stain wood with Tumble Dye! It couldn't be easier too; you'll love it. We'll show you how to TD some wooden bracelets.
Supplies:
Tumble Dye
Paintbrush
masking or painters tape
wood object
(not pictured)
scrap paper, preferably card stock
paper towels
Make your pattern with your scrap paper-we chose a more graphic triangle style. Do whatever! Using your tape, make your pattern. Remember wherever wood is showing is what will be dyed.

Using the scrap papers as your guide, brush your Tumble Dye on the exposed wood areas. Let dry. Repeat until you're happy with the saturation.
Seal it with a clear varnish if you want it to last, or leave it be if you like the matte look.
Another way to use your Tumble Dye is simply by spraying a paper towel and wiping on the color. For wood it's always better to paint or wipe-spraying will give you a very uneven look because of how quickly it absorbs the dye.
Here are some more ideas for how to dress up wood! What will you stain first?
