Here are the rit dye directions 

There are many ways to dye furniture using rit, but here are the directions I used for using Rit Fabric Dye:

1. Preheat your dye pot or bucket according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Add the rit dye powder to the pot or bucket, and stir until the powder is completely dissolved.

3. Add your desired amount of water to the pot or bucket, and stir until the mixture is smooth.

4. Place your furniture pieces into the dye mixture, and let them sit for the desired amount of time.

-In this case I used a paint brush and brushed the chairs with the solution.

5. Rinse your furniture pieces off with cold water, and dry them off with a cloth or paper towel.

-After I rinsed the chairs I let them stay outside in the sun for the rest of the day so they dried completely.

6. Enjoy your new color

The number one question I get it is does Rit dye bleed? I’ve had these chairs for 3 years now and I have never had an issue with the dye coming off on our clothes.
