Tie Dye Effect with Piccolo™ 3D Enamel Gels

There are two different ways to do this. First, make sure you have a non-stick surface to work on {like a craft sheet}.

Choose a bezel and apply several different colors of 3D Enamel Gels in lines {diagonal or straight}. Put it on pretty thick. Use a toothpick or needle tool to add swirls by pulling colors through one another. Be sure to only pull in one direction. Repeat until you are happy with the results.

The second way to achieve a tie dye effect is to put the 3D Enamel Gels directly onto your non-stick craft sheet. Again, put these on pretty thick...you can use dots or lines.

Then just drop your Piccolo into the gels. You can give it a little push if you want, but don't make it go under the surface of the gels. If you have any blank spots, use a toothpick or needle tool to pick up some gel to set in that area. Don't mix or rub the Piccolo around the gels, that will cause the colors to mix.

Pretty cool huh? I hope you'll try one of these techniques with the 3D Enamel Gels...it is a lot of fun!
