Gorgeous ideas, lovely effects.You are one clever lady! My mum was the second eldest of 11 children. They lived in a tiny 2 bedroom house, with 2 rooms downstairs. She was a little mother to all her brothers and sisters. She lived to the grand old age of 102, and only died last year. Strangely she only had me! She was probably fed up of looking after kids. Take care Nik, hugs from the UK xxxxx
Love this technique. I am one of seven kids. I have 5 brothers older than me (that is six of us in six years) and six years later I was blessed with another brother. (I say that sarcastically) Now, as adults caring for our parents it has been truly a blessing having this many siblings. One kid for each day of the week lol
Hi Nik! I sometimes dye my paper with distress stain, but never thought of doing it only on the edges! Great effect! Technical Tim word for "bleeding" is wicking! You can also do this technique on already tea dyed paper! Hi from Belgium!
I love your stories :) One thing that could be added to this technique is to use a toothbrush to put some speckles on it - perhaps when mostly dry than when wet. And - when it is wet, throwing some kosher salt on it to force the colored water to dissipate. I like the look of the bubbles that were created on the paper because of how it was sitting on the paper. It makes me wonder if there's a way to make bubbles artificially - maybe with a little soap mixed into some diluted dye? Oooh...this makes me want to try it.
I found out you can dye paper with an AVOCADO SEED which gives paper a beautiful pastel pinkish color. I’ve also used the egg dye tablets (that you find around Easter) which gives paper deep beautiful colors.
@@Denita_Wishart I didn’t know about the avocado skin! I’ll give that a try too! I too was blown away how the seed makes the most beautiful light pink!
Nik you are so clever and inspirational. Why didn't I think of dyeing paper in this way rather than just dunking??? I love your videos, thanks for sharing them
This was interesting and fun! Your mom sounds like a hoot! Yes, years ago when people had kid after kid after kid, the previous kid(s) helped raise the younger ones and cook and clean. In my father’s.family of 11 kids, they also worked in the fields. What a hard upbringing he had.
I love to experiment and you have given me some good ideas. As far as the word wicked, my husband and I were talking yesterday about how we used to use the word bitchin to indicate that something was really cool. I wouldn't say it today but just something from days gone by. 🌹
I love this, it is just what I needed to start and I've wanted to do colored edge papers! All I've ever seen was dipping the whole papers into color. Thank you so much!
Love the different colours and the unicorn barf one. I can totally see doing a whole text block like this. It's a bit more precise than regular tea staining. Years ago, my nephew wanted his bedroom SpongeBob yellow. No accent wall, the whole room. It was BRIGHT. My BIL called it "Angry Yellow." Hahahaha It stayed that way until my niece came along and inherited the room and got Princess Pink walls. 😎
Im the 20th child of 21 born to my mother, lucky me cause I was babysat and not the babysitter lol. I have 12 brothers and 8 sisters. 14 of us are still living.
This is wonderful, Nik! I've often wondered about doing something like this with distress inks and you've given me the inspiration to go ahead and do it! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and projects, you always inspire me and make my day brighter 😊💕
Hey NIK, My kitchen is a bland sunflower yellow and I love it. It works because we don't have a lot of wall space so it is perfect. I need to repaint it but I don't want to remove the sunflower basket wallpaper accent. I know, I am very 70s! LOVE sunflowers! ;)
Thanks Nik, I found this to be really a useful and interesting way of getting some colour on the edge , especially because you tried it out on lots of different papers … going to try this for sure 💖
Loved the comment about children and pets but have to share this. I enjoy making paper in the summertime and I laid it all out. My little Tala walked over it and I have her little paw prints embossed forever. 🐾🐾🐾😊
Oh yeah, I hear your Mom!! I am the second oldest of 9 kids. I was the oldest girl...so as a teen I hurried home to help after school..usually I was the one who made dinner..did the dishes help put "babies" to bed. Mom did find a part time job at night...grocery store checker! This dying the paper when wet is fun...I like this idea better than coffee dyed.
Going to try this with my alcohol inks. Using up my stash before I run out and buy new stuff 😅 Love your channel, you are so creative and entertaining!
Thanks for this - it's exactly what I'm interested in developing, although with somewhat less subtlety! I've found that chucking on a few walnut crystals is interesting, although very easy to add too many (less is definitely more!). And to add to the colloquialism's - man that was well sick - innit tho yeah , proper rated that, know what I mean?
Thoroughly enjoyed the this video 😎 and please tell your Mom that I can totally relate to her situation as a pre-teen!! As the oldest of 5 and the only girl 😌 I too was the built-in diaper changer/mother’s helper/babysitter 💝
I know what you mean about yellow. I decided to paint my bedroom yellow and thought I'd picked the perfect sunny colour. It came out looking very sulphur-y!😄 Had to redo it in a more mellow yellow!
That was sooooo cool! I've never seen this before. Came from Annette Green's channel. I'm now a subbie. Thank you for sharing....looks like I've got some catching up to do LOL.
Hi! I’m a newbie…love the idea with the droppers. Seems you control the inks better, especially the corners. And I love the Unicorn 🤢 😂😂😂…😉. You made me laugh out loud…in public 😊
One of our spare bedrooms is very YELLOW! 🤣🤣 it's so bright it hurts your eyes, the other one is very GREEN. They were decorated by the previous owners and we have just not gotten round to redecorating yet (8 years down the line!!). 🙈
Hello young lady, so good to hear/see you today. I pray that you are doing well, think of you often. Okay, now I can watch the video. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I actually enjoy coloring random papers with water color and then printing images on them that can be colored later on. I made a journal like that and added colored pencils in a pouch and gave it as a gift. I have been painting and dying pages to make other watercolor journals .
Last year, I dyed some paper using elderberries (dunking the paper in, as if tea dyeing) it looked an amazing colour, but when it dried it was a murky grey with a slight hint of mauve. But still, it’s fun to try different things and experiment.
I have discovered that, too. Fruit/flowers often turn the color of the fruit when it is bruised. I have some purple and brown papers. I have also tried using purple iris for dye but I think that is what they used to make temporary ink/paint from. I had forgotten some iris on a white-painted cupboard, and when I looked again, it had dripped dissolving purple blotches on the white. Even after scrubbing it was purple/pink. I gave up until a month or so and I noticed it was completely gone! Any of you who paint and love Alizarin Crimson, or Opera or other fugitive red/pink paints might know the heartbreak.
I painted a kitchen in a place I was renting (with landlord's permission) a light buttercup yellow. I had white as the main accent & used other colors here & there to ease the yellow glow. It was gorgeous. Perfect color, tbh. BUT. I forgot the most important rule... pay attention to the main direction the room faces. In this case - mostly south-west. Yeah. In afternoons/evenings, it was like being in the middle of the caution area of a stop light lol. Worse, in summer (no AC), that room felt even hotter cus of the bright yellow - you were convinced you were standing on the sun. It was perfect in winter, however. The same house, the master bedroom happened to be mostly north-facing. Yeah... hubs wanted a cool blue. It felt freezing in winter, but comfy in summer. We own now, have lived here for ~ 4 years, and while I'm finally 90% sure of the overall color schemes we want, I keep going back and forth on things, depending on the season. Most of the rooms have both south & north views (its a rectangle house lol), but the room we chose for our main bedroom is mostly south-facing with HUGE windows (largest windows in the place). The actual master bedroom is (slowly) being transformed into the Creation Station (aka, craft room). BUT, the windows are small, the bulk of the house blocks most of the sun until later in evening. So, I call it the "northernmost south-facing room ever" lol. That one will likely have lighter, warmer shades of the color scheme, while the bedroom we use will go with darker, more muted/grayed shades (to cool it down, cus in summer, even with AC, we keep several fans going in here). Colors are interesting, how you physiologically and psychologicallt react to them and how one single color can change so much depending on time of day, main direction of sunlight, and season. I can't wait to try this technique. I'm gonna try it with watercolors, too...
I found this very interesting. It occurred to me whilst you were creating the coffee one that because coffee isn't a pigment, what would happen if you popped in a drop of the same coloured ink, would it take the colour further into the paper? would it fix the colour of the coffee allowing shapes and lines to form instead of just staining?
Sher - bet. I dislike trying to pronounce it! 🤣 Great video! I enjoyed this experiment. You got wicked awesome results! I think I’ll try it with Halloween colors. TFS
Good idea for sure to use paints in a beautiful way, many possibility, thank you ! I'm looking for a video of yours (I'm pretty sure it's you) where you showed how you made colored ribbons, perhaps with alcohol inks, I don't remember. I can't find it. Would you have a link for this video, please?
I’ve dyed some papers for my journals using the distress ink sprays. I just poured some into a pan of warm water and soaked them like I do my coffee dyed papers. I didn’t think about doing edging though. I really like how the inks absorb into the drawing paper. Thank you for sharing 🦋
Will these colors bleed once they have dried? Like if you want to used a water-soluble medium like watercolor pencils or even paint? I accidentally overbought some Distress Oxide Spray on sale and I might try this with those. But they might reactivate with water. I guess I just need to experiment. If anybody has the answer for me, let me know. Thanks!
Do you ever have concerns about the acidity when using tea or coffee to dye papers for your projects? Even with all the hubbub around archival/acid free supplies, I wonder if it's really a thing to worry about.
Uh oh!! 😬 I see hours upon hours in the garage coming on despite my intentions to "just try this on these two papers". I'm wondering a couple things... 1) waddya think salt on the pre-wet paper would do, and B) what if you mixed in some glycerin in with the water to make the paper even more absorbent? 🤔 ...things that make you go hhmmmm 🤔 Hugs from the southern California desert, MK 😁🏜🤗
Salt absorbs some of the liquid and leaves little sunburst-like pattern effects on the paper (depending on what type of salt you use and how many crystals are in one area). The amount of water v. salt will impact the design too! It's pretty cool and definitely recommend trying it out at least once. Not sure on the glycerin, so I'd be interested to see how it goes if you try it
I wonder if you can do this with alcohol and alcohol inks. I’m going to have try this. Yeah, my mom painted our kitchen cabinets yellow. Not her finest idea. Lol
I have trouble when I dry my papers on plastic tablecloth. It leaves marks on the side of the paper that was touching the plastic. What can I do so that doesn’t happen?

I found out you can dye paper with an AVOCADO SEED which gives paper a beautiful pastel pinkish color.
I’ve also used the egg dye tablets (that you find around Easter) which gives paper deep beautiful colors.
I‘ve used egg dye powder, sprinkeld it on the wet paper an oven dried it and got beautiful results. Kinda marbeled/tie-dyed.
I did the avocado 🥑 seed and skin a few weeks ago. Was blown away by the color the paper came out 💕
@@Denita_Wishart I didn’t know about the avocado skin! I’ll give that a try too!
I too was blown away how the seed makes the most beautiful light pink!
@@choclid I didn’t realize there was an egg dye powder!
I would love to try to make tye dye paper!
Fun! I love the effect of adding the color to the edges!

Great technique Nik. Tfs
I really like how the kid's paper reacted to the inks. Will definitely be giving that a try. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!
I love the effect you got! Papers tend to age most at the edges, so the coffee works especially well. One question:How do you get the pages so flat?
So many possibilities! Would you ever dye with liquid food coloring?
I love this, it is just what I needed to start and I've wanted to do colored edge papers! All I've ever seen was dipping the whole papers into color. Thank you so much!
So enjoyable. Thank you. The coffee stained still my favourite! Lovely listening to ' mum tales' too. X.
I love to see the experimenting! The results are sometimes unexpected and lovely. You are always inspirational and fun to listen to, Nik! Be blessed!!
I love it, Nik! I can't wait to try it!
Love how these turned.out,. I’ll definitely be trying this. Thx

That is awsome
I also new a family in Tennessee that had 21 children
Great inspiration. Thank you
This is wonderful, Nik! I've often wondered about doing something like this with distress inks and you've given me the inspiration to go ahead and do it! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and projects, you always inspire me and make my day brighter 😊💕
Thanks for this simple way of dyeing paper. I love it and will try it on lightweight fabric also.
Hi Nik! Best method for Distress ever! Nice and Nik!

Thanks Nik, I found this to be really a useful and interesting way of getting some colour on the edge , especially because you tried it out on lots of different papers … going to try this for sure 💖
very cool! they turned out looking awesome.

Thanks Nick, I don’t like to heavily saturate my paper but I love how your edges came out. Thanks for this little tutorial, 🥰
Thanks Nik! Looks interesting and fun!
love the effects . i usually just put paper in color bath so will try this . Thanks
Going to try this with my alcohol inks. Using up my stash before I run out and buy new stuff 😅 Love your channel, you are so creative and entertaining!
Thanks Nik
This is a very interesting technique! Gonna try it
The kids paper was my fave,
Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
How fun that was! Can’t wait to try this!
Love this, I will be giving it a try for sure. Blessings.
Great idea 💡 If your on a budget, try food coloring then add small drops of acrylic or tempra paint black or white to make it permanent.
Thanks for this - it's exactly what I'm interested in developing, although with somewhat less subtlety! I've found that chucking on a few walnut crystals is interesting, although very easy to add too many (less is definitely more!). And to add to the colloquialism's - man that was well sick - innit tho yeah , proper rated that, know what I mean?
Guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow?😏 Great video. Thanks.
Love this it is so subtle
🌼 thank you for sharing this technique
I will def remember to go darker with stain/dye
I do this with food dye. You need to mix the colour to get subtle effects.
awesomely inspiring! and pretty too! tfs!
Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget 💲. Happy everything on a budget💲. See👁 you in the next 🎥 and on the flipside. 👼🌹
Thoroughly enjoyed the this video 😎 and please tell your Mom that I can totally relate to her situation as a pre-teen!! As the oldest of 5 and the only girl 😌 I too was the built-in diaper changer/mother’s helper/babysitter 💝
Lovely! I imagine using the distress ink would be more archival than tea or coffee staining too.
(Edited after coffee made an appearance. 😄)
Miss Nik - that was splendid! How do you keep them SO FLAT when they dry?!
I don't know Nik''s method, but some crafter's iron their papers when dry
I know what you mean about yellow. I decided to paint my bedroom yellow and thought I'd picked the perfect sunny colour. It came out looking very sulphur-y!😄 Had to redo it in a more mellow yellow!
Thanks so much for such a fun idea.😍🌴💕
Wick into the paper😎
I really like the look of this just on the edges. I have gold mica watercolour paint I'd like to try using with a darker brown stain.
That combination sounds really beautiful! If you do end up trying it out, it would be lovely to hear your impressions of it 😊
@@nikicooper4792 I will let you know! 🌞
@Francine H. Thank you! ☺️
This seems very therapeutic. I may have to give it a try. Quality not quantity for this project.

Yep on the yellow paint back in the ‘70s. The whole kitchen in Sun Yellow. In high gloss. Thought it would tone down as it dried. Nope. ☀️☀️☀️😎
This is a great idea. Have you heard of anyone drying the papers in a dehydrator? I have a large one and I think it might work
Another BEE-utiful idea I need to try!!! Namaste 🧶🤗🐞🥰🧶
Fun. Thank you.
I like this technique. I will need to "play" while I can still work outside.
I painted a kitchen in a place I was renting (with landlord's permission) a light buttercup yellow. I had white as the main accent & used other colors here & there to ease the yellow glow.
It was gorgeous. Perfect color, tbh. BUT. I forgot the most important rule... pay attention to the main direction the room faces. In this case - mostly south-west. Yeah. In afternoons/evenings, it was like being in the middle of the caution area of a stop light lol.

I love it
You can use those little boxes/packet of sugar free drink mixes like Sonic Cherry, Citrus.
Oh I love this technic. I was the youngest of seven, guess that's why my oldest sister couldn't move out of the house fast enough.
I found this very interesting. It occurred to me whilst you were creating the coffee one that because coffee isn't a pigment, what would happen if you popped in a drop of the same coloured ink, would it take the colour further into the paper? would it fix the colour of the coffee allowing shapes and lines to form instead of just staining?
“Pretty wicked” indeed!
Sher - bet. I dislike trying to pronounce it! 🤣 Great video! I enjoyed this experiment. You got wicked awesome results! I think I’ll try it with Halloween colors. TFS
I grew up near Boston where everything is "wicked" good!.. lol...
Good idea for sure to use paints in a beautiful way, many possibility, thank you ! I'm looking for a video of yours (I'm pretty sure it's you) where you showed how you made colored ribbons, perhaps with alcohol inks, I don't remember. I can't find it. Would you have a link for this video, please?
So different to dunking a page in a tub of dyed water. Will give this a try next time.
Yep. A yellow painted wall with white cupboards which looked like a fried egg in the end.
Wicked!! 🤩👍

You can only do this a page at a time?
Would you recommend this method with mulberry paper?
Will these colors bleed once they have dried? Like if you want to used a water-soluble medium like watercolor pencils or even paint?

Uh oh!! 😬 I see hours upon hours in the garage coming on despite my intentions to "just try this on these two papers".

I have trouble when I dry my papers on plastic tablecloth. It leaves marks on the side of the paper that was touching the plastic. What can I do so that doesn’t happen?
Hi Jodi! Hmm...maybe if you flip the papers over a few times as they dry the dye wouldn't have the chance to settle in any particular areas?
Don't dry on plastic
I would do this if only I weren't lazy
😂💖
Story of my life! 😂
