Step 6Dyeing
Mix 1/4 cup white vinegar with 1/4 cup dry powdered instant tea. Mix it up gently and put your bone bead in it for about 5-24 hours.
The vinegar dissolves the top layer of calcium and impregnated those cells with tea. After the bones have soaked in the dye, fish them out and GENTLY rinse them. The dye won't be very stable until the bone is completely dry.

dyeing makes the bone...well tacky and fake, how the bone becomes yellowed is part of the fun and learning process of wearing them!
