What You Need

Bowls You can use a pie plate or other shallow dishes
Paper cups It is for mixing food coloring.
Stir sticks It is for stir the water. You can replace wooden chopsticks, spoons, or any other tools.
Food coloring For safety in case using on food, we recommend using edible food colorings rather than dye colors.

Here is a simple color mixing chart.

The colors vary depending on the ratio, so mix it little by little to make the color you want!

Mix the water until food colorings dissolve thoroughly.

▶It dissolves faster in warm water.

Fill the bowl with the colored water you just mixed enough to cover the entire paper.

Carefully submerge the paper in the water, and leave them until you get the color you desire

▶ It won't come off well if it gets on your hands or your clothes. So, use tools such as gloves ro tweezers during the process to be careful!

5. Dry the dyed paper doilies.
