Here’s what you’ll need for tie dye as wood stain:

Get Crafty!

First things first, start by drawing the image then cut out from the contact paper using your crafty knife cutting tool. Make sure you are using your craft mat to make sure you don’t cut through your table top. Once you cut out the design, set aside and grab the Tuplie tie-dye kit.

Then begin painting. Inside Tip: Do not to oversaturate the paper with the dye, because it will bleed through the paper and you’ll loose the shape of the prickly pear cacti sticker. Once you are done with the background, let it dry and then peel off the sticker for the next steps.
