Coffee, Tea Dye Staining in limited space & using plastic lace- Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Welcome to all adult viewers and journal crafters-- to my show & share.... Is limited space halting your attempts to coffee or tea stain/dye your papers? Or is oven drying taking up too much of your time? In this video I want to share my method that requires little space for lots of results, no mess, no stress and no oven drying. And how to use plastic lace to minimize the need for stenciling journal pages. Coffee and tea dying paper and fabrics was never easier.
Please note: Due to all my projects and tutorials having been pre-recorded for over a couple of years now, many will not be uploaded in chronological order. However, I will endeavor to mention here in the description box the date when videos were first recorded for my archive of projects in the playlist to make sense.
Date stamp of recording for this video was 14 May 2019.

Stop saying you are sorry. You are doing us a big favor and I for one greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this video! I found it today! This is wonderful! Blessings from Alabama, USA ❤️🤗🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind comments. You have made my day. I am so thrilled this video has been helpful. Wishing you happy coffee/tea dyeing.
Thank you, a great idea. No need to apologize constantly, you are doing something very nice for us!
Great idea! Have a small apartment. Will try this right away. And please, stop apologizing. We all have stuff happen or go wrong when crafting and filming. Who cares? The end result of your method is fabulous! Thank you!
Thank you so much Novelyn, you are so kind and I am grateful for your wise and supportive reassurances. It is so encouraging and it means a great deal.
I was watching Gayle Agostinelli today and she mentioned you for your paper dying. I was thrilled to find your "limited space" technique as I have been rolling this idea around in my head for months. Now with confirmation that the idea works beautifully!, I will buy some more coffee (I don't drink it either) and check my local Daiso for plastic doilies. Cross your fingers!
How exciting to hear that you had the same idea Katty. We are on the same wavelength. It is wonderful to have something confirmed and someone else road test it. I am so happy your ideas are now achievable.
Man, oh man, I wish I had seen this yesterday before I did my coffee and tea staining with the hot oven on and heating the house! I will definitely try this. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Lynne, great hearing from you, thanks so much. Sorry that you didn't get to see it sooner but like you say, next time. Take care.
Spotlight is going to do a roaring trade after this. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Susan....lol......you really made me laugh. Yes, Spotlight is not going to know what hit them. Especially if those outside of Australia make inquiries or purchases for plastic lace. Thanks so much for making me have a good belly laugh. Take care.
Love this. There is nothing wrong with curly, crazy hair. Been afflicted my whole life and I just learned to love it the way it is.
Thanks so much Robin. Your curly hair looks so pretty. I like how you have come to love the hair you have, I hope to get there one day too.
Us curly haired women are the special ones.
nice one thanks for this brilliant tip!
Thank you so much Susanna. Most kind of you.
No need to apologize thank you for doing this video to show me how to make really cool paper.
You are so kind Joanie. Thank you for your kind understanding and support.
It’s been years since you posted this most helpful video, this is my first time attempting to tea dye, you hints and instructions are great, just have to find out where to get plastic table cloth, I’m in Alberta, Canada. Plus thought with you being on your knees you did very well, plus no apologies nessary. Have a blessed day.
Hi Carol. Wow, what a heart-warming and kind comment. It has made my day. Thank you so much. I am thrilled to hear you are giving tea dying a go. I hope you had a lot of fun. Also I have been meaning to record myself with a tutorial on how to find alternatives when plastic lace is unavailable. Reading your comment, I must try to get onto it. However, I do have a tutorial that was posted 4 years ago, on my channel, on some helpful alternatives that can be achieved with things in ones own home. Also stencils can also achieve a wonderful effect when plastic lace is scarce. Thanks again for watching and your kind support. Have a great day.
Love watching you work and explain. So much easier when we watch you. Love the lace patterns on the paper and the beautiful color. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Cheryl. Your comment means a lot to me as I was worried that watching my long winded process might get tedious and boring. You have reassured me so much. Thank you heaps.
I just started coffee staining paper a couple weeks ago after seeing someone else's video. I'm obsessed! I was working in my tiny kitchen with coffee everywhere and drying my papers in the oven. I play ransom videos when I'm creating when all the sudden I saw yours! Game changer! I'll be buying a bin and spray bottle! Thanks for your great videos!
Wow, what an awesome comment. Thank you so much Leslie, it means so much to hear this. I am thrilled that coffee dying in a bin has been a game changer for you. Thank you so much for letting me know. Best wishes
Can't believe how easy this looks...surprise to me! I had no idea vinyl lace is still being produced...thought it was a thing of the 50s and 60s. Checked the Internet...definitely available! Love the color of your mixed brew...beautiful!
You soar with your creativity and it shows in all you do, right down to staining your papers. We just got back from the mountains and came into the valley from temps in the 80’s to 114 degrees. For real. Lol hot and hotter. Hope to have my project done this week. Take care and a big thumbs up on this.
Awww Char, you have the most generous of hearts. Thank you so much! Welcome back from the mountains. So hot though! May you cope with and survive the heat. How exciting, about the project.Thank you so much!! I hope to get a chance to pop in and see you Char at your YT channel. Love watching you. You are a constant source of inspiration. Huge hugs. XX
I use instant tea and instant coffe, both from the local dollar store. 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Hey, I'm from Africa, Nairobi Kenya. I'm totally in love with how your papers turned out. I'm in bed and I definitely am trying this in the morning. Thank you for sharing
The Ultimate!!!! Thank you very kindly for sharing this method, after this, I'm totally done. amazing talent! I love it!
Thank you so much Yolanda for your darling comment and encouragement. Means everything!
What a wonderful way to do your coffee and tea dyeing. Now I'm off to look for plastic tablecloths. Thank you so much foe sharing your techniques and your awesome digitals.
Hi Lucille, thanks so much. You are so kind and a wonderful support. Thank you. Happy plastic tablecloth shopping! xx
Thank you for a fun and thorough tutorial ... soon I'll be picking up a similar container and cheap instant coffee. I loved your results!
I could watch you all day.... My guilty pleasure!!
Hi gorgeous! Awww, thank you. You always know how to plant a huge smile on my face and heart. I hope to visit you at your channel sometime today. xx
yup what i use to do my papers. I make my own books like this. There great for all kinds of projects
I like what you have done here, very nice work.
What a brilliantly simple solution to the agonies of coffee/tea staining! Thank you so much for sharing! I went a got me a container tonight and am going to tea stain to my hearts content tomorrow! SO EXCITED about learning this new method!!!!
Hello gorgeous Angi, such a delight to hear from you. Thanks for your happy themed comment. You describe it well, the agonies of coffee/tea staining..It was becoming like that for me too, something had to change and this method was born. Let me know how you went with your attempts. Thanks so much for your wonderful support Angi. Take care. xx
Coffee/tea and eco-dying are such addictive processes. The results are always different and fabulous. I will be trying your method; thank you for sharing.
Hi Belinda, thanks so much or your lovely comments and positive feedback.
This video was soooo helpful, thank you. No more buying coffee-stained paper for me!
Hi Jenn, thank you so much. I am so happy this has been helpful
Great technique! Can't wait to get some plastic lace 🙃 And, don't worry about your hair or knees so much. The video was fine 😁
Hi Faith, thank you so much. I really appreciate your graciously kind support.
Now i know why you wanted to share this technic with us. I life in a little 3 room appartement in switzerland with my little daughter. I try this technic today and is not dry yet, but i can say, this is a super way to dying a huge amount of paper. So thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Hello Loka from Switzerland, a warm welcome from Melbourne Australia. Thank you so much for sharing your situation of small spaces. I think you are amazing. So many live in small spaces like yourself, we need solutions that will work. I am so happy to hear that this can be a solution to your limited space. Really value your feedback so much. All the very best to you and your darling little daughter. Thank you immensely.
I can’t believe that I’ve only just stumbled onto your site. You do such beautiful work and I absolutely love the art work on your digital kits and I will be buying as soon as my new bank card arrives. Wonderful. A cheerful end to a dreary day. Thank you 😊
Playing around with inserting various items between the layers is now on my to-do list! I'm thinking of rocks, keys, marbles, leaves, ...
Such a good idea! I live in a small unit with a very small kitchen so I need all the help I can get doing things in small spaces! Spotlight and Reject Shop here I come! Looking forward to Pt 2.
Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for your lovely comment. Yes, this method is so practical for ones like yourself situated in small spaces. I am so pleased for you that this will be helpful. Let me know if the Reject shop has something to offer you. Happy plastic lace hunting.
Brilliant video thank you so much thats Brilliant idea I'll try that
New subby--what a great idea! I live in California--right now, triple-digit temps every day. Bleh. This would be brilliant for drying out on the deck and no oven--Yay!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for joining me on my channel. I am sorry you have such high heat. At least this method is perfect for such hot summers.
You have gone back to videos and tutorials Jarf and I did not know. can you image my joy when I saw you back on air. you know how highly I rate you. I am so pleased Jarf. its like finding an old friend. your knowledge and talent is to good not to share. welcome home. Rose.
Oh Rose, wow! thank you so much. Who needs a cheer squad when you have Rose, the best single cheerleader ever!!! Thank you so much for filling my heart with so much joy. Your kindness is amazing. Thank you and best wishes always.
Just viewed this video! Fantastic!
Thank you so much for our kind comment and for watching. Best wishes to you.
I really loved this tutorial! I have a lot of space to work, but I love having it all contained in one space. Still working on getting the lace images to transfer every time. But in each batch there are some really beautiful ones.
This is a brilliant idea, Jarf!!! You rock! Thank you.
Awww Wendy, thanks so much hun. Huge hugs. xx
Super! Very informative and love seeing how it's actually done. You needn't be sorry for anything, you were perfect. Besides, a knee here or head and hair there is no big deal. Now I'm going to go and watch part 2 😊 Thank you!
You are super kind! Thanks so much for your lovely assurances and for your kind encouragement.
You do beautiful work on your papers. And you are adorable in your explanation and demonstration. You do not need to apologize. I will be getting some plastic lace soon!!
Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for your heartwarming comments. It has planted a huge smile on my face, heart and spirits. Your reassurance is very much appreciated.
This is such a great idea! Plus I love the idea of mixing the tea and coffee!
Hi Kathleen, thanks so much.
My dining room table is a mess too with projects I am currently working on. Thank for sharing this video.
Very cool. Came over from Roxy Creations. New subbie from Pennsylvania, USA. thanks! Looking forward to the end results.
Thanks so much Karen for joining me on my channel. Thanks to the beautiful Rachel, I am getting to meet all her gorgeous subbies like your lovely self. Thanks so much.
Rachel sent me.. seeing hers and hearing about yours I had to come see! New subbie and excited 😊
Thank you so much for joining me on my channel and for your kind comment. Rachel is amazing and so generous in her shout-outs.
Have some doilies ,coffee and tea .... just need spray bottle ( which my friendly neighborhood dollar tree will provide 🤗) and ready to start. Thank you for sharing 👍😉Love from Texas ‼️‼️‼️
Thank you so much Angelita! Such a pretty name.
You’re so sweet ..... it translates into little angel but people who know me would say otherwise 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣👍🤗
Do you know that vinegar gives a wonderful aged effect on paper. Something about the chemicals in eac that when they are combined it turns out so pretty and using only a little of the non-smelling vinegar and see the difference. Vinegar alsp does metal as well. Just FYI from a scientist in California. Thank you for reading.
Hi Traci, so wonderful to have a scientist from California share such wonderful pearls of wisdom of science know how. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your expert input. Actually, when I first started out coffee staining many, many years ago. I played around with vinegar and lemon juice and you are right the results are different but so pretty. Thanks for reminding me, it has been so long, I had completely forgotten. Kind regards.
Are you using vintage in the coffee?
Vinegar not vintage.
As kids, we had a timber mill at the end of our street & it smelled strongly of vinegar. Apparently some freshly-milled woods, like oak, have high concentrations of acetic acid, which give off the 'vinegar' smell. I imagine the addition of vinegar to paper might reverse some of the bleaching process, carried out on the wood pulp, making the paper closer to its natural colour, perhaps?
@@susansharpe8781 Hi Susan, no, I am not using vinegar in this recipe and method for Part 1, 2 and 3 of the tutorials. I was explaining in my reply to Traci's comments, that I had used vinegar in the past, a long while ago for different effects. So there is no vinegar in the formula for this tutorial. Hope you have a lovely day.
I found your videos in the recommended videos on the right, and thought I'd better watch! It just sounded very good. Thank you...off to watch part 2 now, and new subbie from NY state, US.
Hi Jessica, thank you so much for subscribing and watching. Best wishes.
I love your process and how you do this! Great tutorial and thank you for sharing with us! I usually do it on the patio and lay each sheet individually! This is so mucg faster and easier! Love it!❤️
Hi Donna. Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I am so happy you now have a faster and easier way by using this method.
Hiya MM, what a charming video.....oooooh your poor knees, I possibly would have never been able to get up!
I too live in Melbourne & am just starting out on this hobby.
I am enjoying this tutorial for tea/coffee dying! So amazing! You are so wonderful to do this for us! xo deb
Hi Deb, so lovely to have you take the time to visit and watch, as you are so busy with your own YT channel, running your own shop and creating such gorgeous digitalis. Thank you so much for your wonderful support. And thank you for gracing me with such a beautiful heartwarming comment. It means a great deal. xx
Hey Thanx for that! Great idea, not so much mess. I am in WA so will wait till summer for drying the paper. Take care Sara G
These are awesome. Thank you so much. I have very limited space. Only my bedroom to keep my supplies so I have to use what space I have to its fullest capacity. The only way to go is up. I can do some work in my granddaughters kitchen, but can't leave anything out there for any length of time
Loved this easy no crazy mess techniques. Thanks
Hi Debbie. Thanks so much. You are so right, easy and less mess is ever the best and only way. Life is too hard as it is, why not make some parts of it easier on ourselves. Thanks for your lovely comment and visit.
Like so many others, I’m here on Rachel’s recommendation. I’ve subscribed and am excited to see your other videos. Thanks so much for sharing this technique! P.S. Love your digitals! I’m going to have myself a giant shop one of these days! ❤️
Hi Gayle, thank you so very much for the honor of your visit and for subscribing. Wow! I am blown away! I know of you through the gorgeous Rachel who speaks so highly of you on her channel and hope to catch you sometime at yours, as you are so admired by the junk journal community..... I am just late, slow & awkward in coming to the UA-cam party which explains my very slow response to your beautiful, heartwarming comment, of which, I do apologize. In scanning some of the comments, as I have only just recently signed in to upload a video, noted that some have said they have come via generous hearted you. That is so kind! Thank you so much for this Gayle. I am going to mention you in my acknowledgments alongside Rachel, in the description box of my recent video, which will go live to the public in about 15 minutes, where I will be thanking you both for directing your wonderful subbies my way. Please know how much I deeply appreciate this. Best and warm wishes to you and hugs overflowing with much gratitude!! xx
Awesome way of doing this,will give this a go for sure. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Barbara, thanks so much. You are most welcome.

Fabulous tub spraying idea! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️ And looking forward to more 🌹
Hi Liane, thank you for subscribing and for taking on board YT's recommendation, so nice to have you join me here at my channel. Thank you so much for your positive and kind feedback.
Great Idea mixing the coffee and tea together i was using a very small container, I will be trying this method, Thank you so much for your time and helpful hits for small spaces.
Hi Lorelle, thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your lovely and graciously kind comments. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Hi Jarf .. Great idea .. Will definitely try it out .. Shout out to Rachel for first introducing me to your fab digitalis and now this ... Love love love .. New subbie from South Africa
Hello Sally form South Africa. A huge hello from Melbourne Australia. Thanks so much for subscribing and for your beautiful feedback and wonderful support using my digital kits. It is deeply appreciated. I am so grateful to Rachel for sharing the link to my channel and this technique and so kindly and generously using my kits in her wonderfully inspiring crafting projects.Great hearing from you Sally. Thanks so much.
not sure where you live, loving the coffee dye, I am in the UK now, but I lived in Frankston, I used to go to the Dandenong Market, and they too sold this plastic cloth, not sure now, but assume still do, may be cheaper than spotlight, I wish we had Spotlight here, I so miss that place...love Sherry xxx
Brilliant ideas, can't wait to get myself set up and give it a go! Thank you!
Hi Brenda, hope you are well. Thank you so much for your ongoing support and kind words.
Just found you. I am in Perth. We have hard borders and you are in lockdown. Hope you are doing ok. I love this look.
Love this compact area for coffee dying. Not having to destroy my whole kitchen. Just go into my backyard and have fun with it and lay out on my tables to dry.
Sounds wonderful, Just Judy Crafting. I am so glad this method is so helpful. Thanks so much for your visit and for commenting.
Lovely to find your channel just now via this video being listed in my suggestions. Always special to find fellow Australians. Coincidentally we just returned to Brisbane from visiting our son in Melbourne and here I am stepping south again! Great suggestion to use underbed storage boxes. I’ve used them for children’s sensory play and can’t wait to try dyeing in one. Working with plastic lace as stencils and for staining is a fabulous idea, thankyou for sharing. Next shopping stop Spotlight! I have quite a few plastic lace placemats from Daiso and must go check the pattern varieties on them. Best wishes :)
Lovely to have you find me Susan. Kind greetings from Melbourne. Thanks so much for your lovely comments and for sharing. Your feedback is deeply appreciated.
Love it, just wish I could find plastic table cloths now 😍
Hi Carol, so sorry for my slow reply. Thanks so much for your kind words. I am so sorry you have struggled to find plastic lace, but today I uploaded my show and share video on alternative solutions to plastic lace. It is Part 4 of this series....coffee/tea dye staining in limited space WITHOUT plastic lace. I will put the link for you here... ua-cam.com/video/8yjowNGCi_U/v-deo.html
Well I’m off to Spotlight today!! I’ve used stencils before but the full coverage the lace gives will work really well on larger pieces of paper. My crafting space is limited so I’ll be giving your process a try. I enjoyed both your commentary and your enthusiasm for the end result. TFS 😃
Hi Kate, happy Spotlight shopping. I hope you got the plastic lace ok. Thanks so much for your kind comments and gracious feedback, much appreciated.
Love this, just saw some plastic table lace yesterday at Spotlight I thought of spraying through it for my already stained paper. So this is great to see this use as well it will be worth getting. Thanks for sharing
Hi Michele, thank you. Nice to meet another fellow Spotlight shopper. Yes, absolutely worth getting, very functional for both uses.
I love this idea. I can’t wait to try it. I too am in Pennsylvania USA. New subbie here! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brenda, welcome. Thanks for joining me on my channel, really appreciate your kind comments.
I have a plastic doilie table cloth that is falling apart. This is a great idea! I tried with paper doilies and it was a hit and miss. I will definitely try this.
Hi Jo, thank you so much. I am sure you will have had great fun using your plastic doilie table cloth that was falling apart, how perfect for this project.
Omg I feel like I am sitting in a dentist chair...and needing a valium.
It's a really painful waffle!
Hi I've heard of you from Rachel of Roxy Creations. I love this method will try it as soon as I can find a lidded tray in Wilko (UK) so far I've painted the coffee or yes with a paint brush. Left on dining table overnight then ironed afterwards. I love your printed pictures Rachel was using in some of her 100 day projects.😊
Hi crafty Barb. Thanks so much for your lovely message of kind compliments, sharing your own techniques and for your kind feedback. It is deeply appreciated. Best wishes.
thats the way i have been doing it to,painting it on ,i will also get a tray,semmed faster hehe
@@medievalmirage I too found you via Roxy Rachel...lol
Hi! Your video showed up in my feed - I’m so glad! I have a similar process because I have limited space for laying out my tea dyed paper.
I use my rebounder (a small personal indoor trampoline) layered with cardboard boxes, then old towels, then paper, rubber(?) shelf liner, and a plastic (vinyl?) lace table cloth.
I also prop one part up a little height to get the liquid to flow and pool. I will definitely start mixing tea and coffee now. I had thought of that but not tried it yet.
I sit on my office chair to dip my papers into a plastic basin so my back doesn’t break. Since the surface of the rebounder is only about six inches off the floor, there’s a LOT of bending involved! I like the idea of using a long plastic container that can be moved to any surface - process papers at a table, then move it to the floor.
I place a small portable fan on a nearby bookcase and point it toward the stacks of paper. Then I periodically check them and remove the top layer when it’s dry. And I place my paper under books, like you do.
And I’ll definitely try your method of “coffee stenciling.” Love it!
I use a huge rectangular plastic/vinyl lace table cloth I bought for about US $14 through a mail order catalog, but I can’t remember the name right now. Will try to find it and link it for others.
Love your layering technique - so random, great results! Tyfs!
Hi Annie, thank you so much for your kind feedback and for sharing your similar but amazing process. You have really set out your process brilliantly. Thanks for the in-depth info. Really appreciate your suggestion having a fan nearby to speed up air drying, just fabulous.
I too decided to put tea and coffee together, I couldn't handle the smell of just coffee, it was too strong. It isn't too heavy when you do half and half and still looks great. Thank you for the great video.
Hi Lynn, thanks so much for your kind comment and for sharing your recipe of tea and coffee together. Much appreciated.
I am here because Gayle A recommended your video. I am going to give this a try, off to see how things turned out in part two. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to meet you Bernice through the gorgeous Gayle. Thanks so much for your visit and watching.
Ohhh Jarf - I’ve been admiring your work for some time now and have only just realised you’re a fellow Aussie!!! Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us all!!! It appears I have now have a scheduled trip to Spotlight and some paper staining fun ahead in my future!!! 😉☺️ Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for your beautiful comment. Hope you were able to snatch up those pretty plastic lace at Spotlight. May you have loads of fun paper staining with them. Take care.
another aussie...great stuff, lovely surprise to hear a home based accent. Just stumbled across your channel and I'll be watching often.
Awww thanks so much Lesley, so very kind of you. Glad you stumbled over my way. Take care.
Hi... love this idea!! I came to your videos from Gayle Agostinelli’s channel... she mentioned That she tried your process and I wanted to also!! Can’t wait to try!!
Hi Cindy, thank you for you lovely comments and I appreciate the gorgeous Gayle for sending you my way. Best wishes to you.
Thanks, so much easier
You are most welcome. Thank you so much Teresa.
Wow Jarf, I love those book covers. Can't wait to see the tutorials, I'll definitely be crafting along 😀 ... It's lovely to see you back, even though I'm the late one now, catching up... your coffee staining technique with the tub, is fabulous. I'll be organising that set up asap, I love the rich tones you achieve on your coffee/tea staining to.... those plastic doilies are really pretty, I'll check out my local spotlight. Sorry I have been MIA myself, I'll pop in and catch up with you very soon.... tfs xox hugs Fi
Hi lovely Fi, your support is always there whether you can comment or not or even if it is delayed due to life, ill health, challenges and/or being busy, your generous kindness is always present and felt and deeply valued. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments, you always say the most heartwarming things and they always make my day and flow on into the days, weeks and months to come. Thanks so much hun. Sending you happiness and hugs. XX
Absolutely love this. V. Doing similar on my table no to clear out a tub 🥰
Thank you so much Janette.
Love♡ from BANGLADESH..
Wow this is awsome. Love love love this tutorial. I heard about this from Gayle. I'm off to buy a tub . Cheers from Sydney.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Your feedback means a great deal. A huge thank you to the gorgeous Gayle for sending you my way. Happy coffee/tea dye staining in limited space. Cheers from Melbourne.
i love your video,you are filming absolutly perfect,it is easy to watch, and i enjoyed it and learned a bit :) thank you
Hi Siv, thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Hello! I am a new subbies from New York City. I just viewed a 3 month old video from Gayle Agostinelli in which she highly recommended your videos. I am so excited to try this. The papers are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Eileen, lovely to meet you via the gorgeous Gayle. Thank you so for subscribing. I am so pleased to hear that this technique appeals to you. I wish you much joy trying it out. Best wishes.
Love this idea to always have some “cookin” while we are creating
Thank you so much Jamie. Your positive feedback is much appreciated.
Thank you!❤
Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your kind comments and positive feedback, it is much appreciated.
This is such a great idea. I usually use the oven but like you said, it is time consuming and terrible for my lower back after standing for so long. I also have to time my dying so it doesn't interfere with making meals, etc. I have been using books to flatten my papers and it does such a great job! I came over from Roxy Creations too! I subscribed (from the USA - Madison, Ohio) and am looking forward to seeing all of your other videos. Thank you for sharing!!
Great to meet you Nancy, so grateful to Rachel for introducing us. Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind comment. I am so happy to hear that this method will help simplify coffee and tea staining paper for you. Thank you.
Awesome technique!!!!
Hi Betty. Thank you so much.
Ive noticed out tea comes out more orangey than the tea staining in USA...great idea mixing coffee and tea , will have to try this , great video ty x
Thanks so much for sharing your observation and for bringing it to my attention. Thanks for your kind comments.
Very inspiring 😊!! Thank you so much for sharing this method🥰! I have tried and... it works😊👍🏻 new subbie😊👋🏻
Thank you so much. You are so kind. Thank you so much for subscribing. I am so glad it worked for you. Yay!
Medieval Mirage 😍❤️😊‼️
Inspired.
Thank you so much Deb, so lovely of you.
It's also very cool to use food colors mixed in water to spray on paper :)... and experiment with all kind of stuff.
Thanks Inga. Yes, you are right. I also water down acrylic paints into a spray bottle and spray over the coffee and tea staining too. The effects are gorgeous. Best wishes.
Thank you so much for this process video! I heard about you from Rachel (Roxy Creations). And of course now she’s making albums using your paper kits!! They are just what I’ve been looking for, so I’ll be getting those as well! In the meantime, I’m going to be making coffee & tea-dyed paper! I have some plastic doilies, placemats & sink & tub protectors! Should be lots of fun! I love your technique for this. I’ve already burned paper in the oven & had paper outside blow into dirt & sand, so I’m looking forward to a different method! Ta-ta for now!
Thank you so much Erica. Rachel is awesome!! I am grateful, that you found me through her wonderful channel. You poor thing having burned papers in ovens and paper blown into dirt and sand...that is why I am thrilled to hear you are set up for your coffee tea staining process in limited space using a tub set up and all the bits and pieces to go with it. I wish you lots of joyful fun.
Excellent idea! I have a tiny, tiny flat so I'll be using this idea for sure. Just wish we had those sheets of plastic on the roll like they do in Australia. I used to live in Adelaide and had I known I was going to get into this I'd have gotten some of it. Here in the US it's not easy to find plastic doilies or tablecloths! Thank you so much for sharing this great idea. Your papers look lovely. New subbie :)
Hello, I know your post was few years ago, but it might still be of interest? to you or someone else...Rolled plastic doily table covering can usually be found at JoAnn's or even Walmart. At JoAnn's or sewing shop look back where the decorator or utility rolls of vinyl are. Walmart usually sells vinyl table covering by the yard and is on a roller cart. Hope this helps! :)
Awesome. Wish I could get that plastic lace here.
Thanks Darlene. I am sorry to hear you are not having much success in locating plastic doilies/tablecloths. My go to is always Ebay. The only other thing I can suggest is and I am not sure if this will be of any help but I will copy and paste where I purchased mine here for you.
The shop I purchase from is Australia wide, which means they maybe big enough to ship internationally. It is worth checking out. Wishing you all the best.
The plastic lace I love the most and use is available here...

Here also are the other two pretty ones

I craft with paper, I like the results but I reduced my use of plastic and I won't buy plastic lace. Trying it with doilies from the flea markets and such would be fun.

Thank you so much for visiting and for subscribing. Thanks to dear Rachel of Roxy Creations for making this possible.
Seems like it'd be easier to cut the plastic slightly larger than the paper and just layer everything in the box.
Absolutely. I was waiting till I got/purchased more plastic lace to cut up as you say. I use the larger lengths of plastic lace when I have loads of papers for those hot outside days, place them all in a row and throw the plastic lace over them with the brew and all done in one go.
