Instructions

2. Measure and very lightly mark with a pencil approximately one fourth the width of the table. Tape along the one fourth measurement. Be sure to press the tape edge to ensure a tight seal.
3. Load a FolkArt Ultra Dye Brush with Hot Pink. Apply the dye on the remaining three fourths of the unfinished table being careful to coat all exposed sides of each wood slice.
4. Allow the dye to penetrate the unfinished wood and if necessary wipe the surface with a soft paper towel to remove excess dye.
5. Remove the stencil tape and allow to dry.
6. To seal and protect, apply a coat of FolkArt Ultra Dye Satin Varnish to the entire table top. Allow to dry and completely cure before using.

TIPS

• If you desire, you can simply guess the space to tape off without measuring and marking the line with a pencil.
• Think about creating several sections of solid color dyeing a variety of colors one section at a time.
