Thank you.... This is the best instructions and works beautifully! I want to put a finish on my wooden dyed beads now. Can you suggest how to do this and what to use? I want it to be a lasting finish as these beads will be handled a lot. Thank you so much!
+Ashley Stark Here at Rit, we wear our dyed jewelry frequently with no problem. If you are concerned that your jewelry might get wet (living in a rainy area, for example), sealing the beads can be done with wax or a spray sealant. But again, no issue here at the office and one of our Ritsters lives in the rainy PNW =)
Hi um how do you dye fresh water pearls in the Rit liquid? I need them to be really really purple but it doesn't seem to want to take to the dye how do you do that? Thanks. :)
Hi there! You definitely can with our DyeMore for Synthetics using the stovetop method. Here's the tutorial: www.ritdye.com/instructions/how-to-use-dyemore-for-synthetic-fibers/
If you don't want the string to be dyed, take the beads and put them in loose. Then take out with a metal slotted spatula and let air dry on a metal cooling rack.
We generally recommend using very hot water, aroud 140F. The duration of the dye time will depend on the color you are looking to achieve. When dyeing wood items, you can leave the items in the dyebath between 5 and 30 minutes. The longer you leave your wood items in the dyebath, the darker the color.

When wearing the jewelry will It bleed out onto my skin or clothing? Or does it need to be sealed?

Thanks for the video gave me great ideals
Love the video, but it seems this channel isn't maintained often. Most of the comments were unanswered. Love Paul, and the beads.
By any chance, do you know if I could be able to dye acrylic cameos without using spray paint?
So cool. I had heard that you can use Rit dye to dye plastic. Is that true?

Directions are lacking basic things, like water temp, duration of time in dye etc.

bull! they do bleed..
As long as the beads don't get wet, we have never had an issue. For best protection, you can seal them with polyurethane or minwax. Happy dyeing!
