We've been through this before - vegetable dyes are notorious for not being lightfast, and food dyes are the worst, since they're designed to be eaten fairly quickly! Chances are your lovely food colored burst won't last six months. Read this (all of it!):

Please, no more food coloring! There's a reason why everybody uses aniline and metal acid dyes! And please stop believing everything you read on the Interweb!!

hey i thought it was worth a try....

definatly not....and if their hard to wash off it should be good for stain...and purple is a really nice colour......soo try it out man.....tell me how it turns out.....i also read that u can use tea as stain.....but only for that sandy brown tea colour

Yup...tea can be used. So can coffee. My mom used to stain fabrics like this. And hey, coffee staining smells good.

lmao...thats awsom....i would love a guitar that smelled good...might just taste good also ....lol

Man...I thought you were going to make a stain from pigments in plants.

i know that method....havnt tried it tho...i will sooon....do u know if its n e good

←

No I don't but I'd though about trying it someday. The first plant that came to mind was pokeweed. It's berries makes a deep purple color....takes forever to wash off though; and I think they're toxic if ingested but that shouldn't matter here.

i was doing some research on stains and i came across a website that explained how to make your own wood stain, although i dont remember the site i decided to let you guy know what u can use for home made stain(note...i have tried this method and it actually works...i just did a green and black sunburst with this method...i get some pics up when i find my camra)

what youl need...

-Vinager (ye vinager)

-food colour or a water based ink

-and a container to mix it it

what u do is put some of the vinager in the container your going to use...i use a small plastic cup....the more vinager the more stain...then you add the food colour into the vinager...the more you add the darker the stain will be.....that simple....test it out if u want to.....oh and i use a sponge brush to apply it...i fing that it applies smoother with sponge brushes but its your call... have fun....post back if u like to
