Colored Pearls

Faux pearls with a pearlized coating are easy to dye. Mix about half a box of powdered dye (Rit) in about 10 oz. of boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. String the pearls on thread or fishing line and immerse them in the dye bath until they reach the desired color. Rinse and towel dry. Hot dye will give a stronger color than cool. Mix dye colors for custom shades.
