Step 2


-Prepare work area in garage or outside, protect table or whatever surface you are working on.

- With rubber gloves on, spray watered down black fabric paint mix on tiger and brush plush fur as you go, working the paint into the fur (may stain clothes so be careful).

- Work color into a small area then move on to a new area on the tiger until all areas of the tiger are colored.

- The white tiger should turn dark grey and the stripes should still be visible.

- When you are satisfied with the amount of color, allow to dry in protected area. *The dye will come off on your hands if it is not completely dry.
Step 3
- Once the fur is completely dry, it is time to paint the eyes. Use the acrylic paints to get the gold color of Kishan with black pupils. Allow to dry.
Step 4
- You should have a finished Kishan stuffed tiger!!! So, snuggle up and enjoy!!
