PeteM Posted December 20, 2018 Report Posted December 20, 2018 I was looking to do some Christmas ornaments, and wanted a green color. I like dyes, so you can see the wood grain, but couldn't find any to suit. My sister (an artiste at crafting) suggested using acrylic paint and diluting it. Walmart sells about a billion different colors for about a buck each. Dilute the paint with about 25% water, and I got a really effective dye. Opens a whole new world.

HandyDan Posted December 20, 2018 Report Posted December 20, 2018 It look like it worked well. I did these ornaments with acrylic ink. It too worked well but was three times the price. Cal 1 Quote
