Use #20 is “Staining Wood.”  This use recently came alive in a video prepared by “tbi” for airing on cable TV networks.  Take a look at how easy it is to create a holiday table decoration by dye-staining an unfinished wood bowl with Rit and dip-dyeing pine cones in Cherry Red!  In this video you’ll see how to dye-stain an unfinished wooden bowl by mixing a small amount of Kelly Green dye with just a cup of hot water.  The dye can be brushed on the bowl like a stain or the bowl can be dipped in the dye.  To create a crisscross pattern shown in the small bowl, apply strips of masking tape before dyeing.  The pine cones were dipped in a mixture of Cherry Red dye and hot water.  Click here to see more.
