I have obviously made this process so much more complicated than it needs to be, lol. Im clearing off the dining room table and dying papers immediately! Can't wait for the video on varnishing paper towels! 😁
There’s other ways to dye/stain for different effects… and THEY ARE ALL EASY!!! I go for the leave and forget method lol! Hey, make sure to protect your table because the coffee will crawl out the pan if you place papers partially hanging out of the pan. IMO the effects are so cool but it could make a big mess. Lol! I like to let them dry on their own bc who has time for that anyway 😂
Zero stress! Lol! How we roll in my art classes 🙌 you the water to coffee ratio and also allowing paper to be partially out of the coffee so it “crawls” up. 😄 Have fun!
I actually didn’t not film that part originally for UA-cam but Instagram and can’t find the footage… but I will make one! It’s actually very easy. You add a little coffee to a pan and toss in some metal that will rust. Open up a paper bag and sit it right in the bottom of the pan on whatever side you want. The liquid “crawls” up the side. You’ll need to leave it a few days. It will get really dark the more metal you add. (Nails work amazing) I leave or check and turn if needed. That’s it. Super easy. You can’t control the results so it’s a surprise 😄

You were as fun as the project! Thank you! I'm trying this technique asap! 😊😊😊
Would love to know how it goes! It’s trial and error and there will be happy accidents 😄🙌
✨️😁😅✨️
Thank you for the encouragement!
Where can I find how you dyed paper bags to look like wood?❤
