What You'll Need:
- Wood frame (You can get these super cheap at Walmart and craft stores like Michaels)
- Mod Podge
- Sponge brush
- Printer paper/access to black and white printer
- Rit Dye (Lemon Yellow and Sunshine Orange used here)
- Print a black and white pattern on printer paper large enough to completely cover frame.
- Apply mod podge to front of wood frame and let dry.
- Apply a liberal layer of mod podge to pattern side of paper.
- While it's still wet, press the paper pattern side down on the top of the frame.
- Allow to dry. This may take several hours.
- Once dry, wet fingers and gently rub off paper. The ink will be left behind on the mod podge on the frame. Wet frame and rub off rest of paper.
- Prepare dye bath. I chose to use Rit's Lemon Yellow and Sunshine Orange to create my own custom color (Approx. 1/4 cup Lemon Yellow and 1 tbs Sunshine Orange with 2 cup water).
- Dip frame into dye bath (I dipped the bottom 1/4 of my frame). Leave in until desired color is reached.
- Allow to dry.
