Thanks for a great video. I've never put in a stack that big but trust me - I will! One thing I do differently is - preheat the oven to about 350 and then just turn it off. Put in the papers as usual and go do something different. No need to worry about fires, burning paper - and it dries just the same usually in about 15 minutes. I reheat the oven between batches. Much easier on the nerves LOL.
Good advice for the ADHD, etc who gets distracted. I’ll wonder-what is that smell? I’ve burned flowers pressing/drying them in the microwave. Crafting can be dangerous, I don’t go near a glue gun. Lol
I mix instant coffee and 6-8 tea bags together with hot water. I pour into a spray bottle and spray my papers, I prefer doing it in the summer when my garage gets hot when we have a heat wave. Stock up for the winter. I also use the top of the instant coffee jar to make coffee circles on the paper. I do iron the papers after they have dried. I leave puddles of coffee on the papers and let it dry too. 👍🌻🌻🌻
This would be great to do on a cold, snowy winters day when the oven can help heat the house too! I cant believe that you can do a whole ream of paper at the same time! Amazing! Thanks for showing us how you do it! Cheers!
I've never seen anyone dye the paper in such bulk! I love it! I would've thought the paper would've stuck together. That really solves the "I don't have enough dyed paper for my project."😂
This is how I do my wine stained paper! I add doilies on top a few in the oven to add texture too.. It turns out beautiful!! 💖 Thanks for sharing your way of doing it too!! 💖
I just started junk journaling and need all the helps! You are so personable! I will now be scanning all your videos. Your channel is saved! Thank you, Pam. I love your personality! And your lil birdy, too.
Love how you craft with reckless abandon. Can't wait to watch the other dying tutorials, especially the avocado and beetroot. I love to learn. Thank you for sharing. Be Blessed.
I have found that a cat litter pan from Dollar Tree works great for paper staining....the sides are deep enough to handle a good amount of liquid and it's only a dollar! :)
I like dying papers in bright colors and I had been spraying them one at a time. As I watched you I realized that I could make up a bath (I use cheap liquid watercolors) and then dry them in the oven in batches. Much more efficient! You always inspire me, Pam... thanks so much.
Pam, you have changed my life forever. I never thought about stacking papers like you have done. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I have to dye papers. Thank you so much for sharing.🌺🌼🥀🌻❤️💛🧡
I’m so thankful that you are so willing to share your “trade secrets” with us. Batch dying will surly speed up the process of stocking my paper supply shelf. Once again, thank you. Hi Holly!
This is so much quicker and easier just to put the whole stack in the coffee liquid I would’ve never thought to do that and here I was doing them one by one taking forever to do thanks for sharing and I love your birds in the background
Love the video the natural dyeing is truly fun. Your warm chat through out is inspiring and you made us see its easy. Yes yes to more on this topic speedy yet simple. Can't wait great video thank you 👏👏👏❤❤❤
I like that you can get quite a few papers done without spending too much time. Holly likes that you are crafting with him. Thank you for the video. Fun. ❤️❤️
I'm going back and viewing your old videos -- great fun! Personally, I do not need a huge stack of papers. I dye about 10 or so sheets and place them on grid cookie cooling racks to dry. Living in California means they dry fast enough without the hazards and hassles of using the oven. If they are damp, I just touch up with a clothes iron which also flattens them out some what.
Wish I had seen this earlier. I have been doing them a few at a time. My dog hears Holly and was jumping around. Now I know that I can do a team at a time.
FINALLY got to do this. I know my time & space is limited, so I used the bottom of the pot and 14 pre-cut to size pages in the JJ I'm making, set them on paper towels for about 5 mins then popped them in the oven on 200 for 7 mins and wa-la! O I'm so happy with how they turned out. A lighter color true, but that delightful crinkle just the same. Reckless Abandon on a Saturday afternoon is even better than hibernating in winter!!! Thanks so much for your encouragement to remember "it's just paper" and to "go for it" ... I'm having soooo much fun!
Oh MY! You're so Funny! I just love watching/Listening to you! A lot of exclamation points here? Maybe but they are well deserved. Lots of great tips from you but most of all you've given me the confidence that 'my way' is OK. I'm a bit messy and am always chastising my self internally. You create such great work and are no neater, well maybe a bit, than me. I'm new to journalling and your site and I'm just loving it! Thank you!!!!!
Living in Houston, unless it is extremely humid, I can stick my papers outside and they will dry in about 5 min. If I dry in my oven, I have to stand right by it and it just kills my back, but I will do it if I have to.
Have you done a video on avocado dyeing yet? It’s something I’ve heard you talk about and I then tried it and lived the results. I’d love to see you do it on here though
Addicted to dyed paper. So therapeutic. I also liked inked edges but don’t like to do it. Found that taking about 30 sheets of paper stacked I could dye edges in coffee quickly. Really liked the result. I did leave some with only edges done but pattern dyed a few.
I spent my afternoon coffee dying and the results were great so thank you for posting this. I did rip a few but saved it for backing paper. You are so entertaining. I love watching your video’s. Can’t wait to see other techniques :)
What a great idea to do it in chunks. I think that's why I have tended not to coffee dye very much in the past because it took so long just putting a few sheets in at a time. This is far better. Thank you!!
I will need to try your way, I dye mine one sheet at a time, and layer them through paper towel. And hang them up in my craft room, I don't do as much, but works for me, I love the school drawing paper on your Amazon sight, it dye very well. Thanks for sharing.
so glad you did this video, to see you put a small stack straight on the oven trays is an eye opener. I put one piece of paper on a tin tray and it takes so long to do a lot of paper...thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this, I've been dying one sheet at a time and leaving them out all over the kitchen to dry on paper towels. At least I can reuse the paper towels. I didn't realize you could do stacks, I accidentally put 2 in once and they tore to shreds. I'd bought the cheap coffee BC (before covid) but now I'll quit procrastinating. Anxious to see other dying methods. Thanks again for sharing. Oh, and I too thought/hoped for a peek at Mr Holly, love his audio addition to your videos.
Hi Love, I use my heat gun for drying mine. I do use it on low but be careful when using the heat gun. You can burn yourself or anything close by because it gets pretty hot. I do because I live in a 5th wheel camper and I'm not using my oven/propane. Its a bit of time but it turns out nicely.
My dining room table is right behind my oven so I was working on my project and I would turn around and open my oven and check my paper as I watched this video .
Absolutely will have a blast today its raining and what better way then to loose yourself in your crafting space. I have not dryed my papers in the oven YET as its gas ...open flame dont think that will go down too well, BUT i fold mine over the wash line, fence and on our really HOT days lay them on the lawn and they get more puddle marks which are awesome as well.. but I try to pick a windless day.. ..yep have chased my papers around our acreage once or twice.....lol....crafting with a fitness routine ....hahaha ..tfs your technique Pam 👍
I dye papers outside when hot enough and just set small rocks on pages so they don't blow away, or if cold out, I drape my dining table in a drop cloth and lay them out there to dry under the ceiling fan. Have never used an oven, I'd be afraid they'd burn.
Oooooh i love the coffee dye it give an antique look love it thank you !! You teach amazingly . I live in Jeffreys Bay , South Africa . You reach all corners of the world
We have a Keurig coffee pot. I have discovered that I can take my used pods and get a 2nd pass on them. I typically add instant coffee to it to get a deeper color. I put mine in a spray bottle and just layer paper towels onto my flat top stove and just spray the pages. I have a white tea towel that I dab the papers with. (The towel can be used later for my journals) I really like the layers of color I get by doing it this way.
Funny this came up. Last 3 days I have been using the sun power and I enjoy being outside. I will have plenty for Winter. Also I had a little coffee left over added more water and decided to go rogue by adding a packet of strawberry drink mix. I have some beautiful colored brown/pinky paper as well. I want some green too. I work my papers in the oven similarly but I use a Turkey roaster pan. I swish the coffee back and forth to get it in between the sheets.
I love it! No frills, no fuss! Perfect! I've been hesitant to do any dyeing as the videos I've seen were much more complicated do to wanting various designs. That's too much work. I'm going to be trying your method...just as soon as I get more copy paper. Thanks for sharing!
Just watched stencil and now with the oven can’t wait to try both always have done single air dry with fabric and paper new to me love Holly and your vids and inspiration abundant
I didn't know you could dye so much at one time. I have always done sheet/page by sheet/page at a time and it takes forever. Going to try doing more at a time now. Thanks.
I let my dyed papers, air dry - mainly bc I don't soak them in coffee/tea or other liquids I spritz them, so they do get wet, but they can dry quicker 😉🤣 Thanks for the cooking lesson, Pam - love from Denmark 🌸 💕
Coffee dying in a clean white top. You do have super powers!
😂😂 Right!!
LOL..thats just reckless abandon at work ;)
You mean she has guts 😄
😂😂😂
I love this! Also love your verbiage & Holly Boy😊
Thanks for a great video. I've never put in a stack that big but trust me - I will! One thing I do differently is - preheat the oven to about 350 and then just turn it off.

Great tip!
Smart! And far safer.
So when l soaked my paper about 10 sheets in coffee in my sink. The paper got super thin and tore apart. 😔 Any tips?
Thanks for this tip! As I was watching I was thinking there's no way I'm putting paper in my oven because I will surely burn my house down! Haha!
Good advice for the ADHD, etc who gets distracted. I’ll wonder-what is that smell?

Holly ???? I thought that sound was a smoke alarm, and your paper was burning !!!!😁😄😀
You’re so kind . Make smile every time. God bless you.
This is how I do my wine stained paper! I add doilies on top a few in the oven to add texture too.. It turns out beautiful!! 💖 Thanks for sharing your way of doing it too!! 💖

Hi Helen Nelson! Thanks kindly! :) Pam :) !!
😂😂😂😂 reckless abandon in deed!! I was 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I have found that a cat litter pan from Dollar Tree works great for paper staining....the sides are deep enough to handle a good amount of liquid and it's only a dollar! :)
You're a perfect crafting lady Pam. Just love what you do.
Brilliant brand new to this and after watching this I made a batch and it worked ! Thank you
Hi Pam, I love how natural you are...always love watching your videos...thank you x
Thanks for watching!
Ok loved this with Holly - but you really MUST show him to us!!!
Love how you made it more personal today, letting us into your kitchen!
This sure beats 4 pages at a time. I will have to try this out. Thank you so much for sharing. Love what you do.
I like dying papers in bright colors and I had been spraying them one at a time. As I watched you I realized that I could make up a bath (I use cheap liquid watercolors) and then dry them in the oven in batches. Much more efficient! You always inspire me, Pam... thanks so much.
Do you mind me asking what you use to dye the paper in color ? 🤔
@@shelbyshumate7627 liquid watercolors. The cheap ones meant for children. No need to use the expensive ones for this
Thank you
Yes please show your other dyeing techniques so I’ll no how to do them thanks so much😊
Yes, indeed; please, please, please show your other techniques in paper dying. :)
@@laurenpiantino8312 444444
I love your down to earth, positive, upbeat attitude 🙏🏼
Pam, you have changed my life forever. I never thought about stacking papers like you have done. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I have to dye papers. Thank you so much for sharing.🌺🌼🥀🌻❤️💛🧡
wow...that was cool how you did all the dying in a big stack like that. wow! I love it!
Kept thinking there has to be a faster way :)
I love dying bunches 'n' bunches of paper at once. It's like Christmas morning!! Never know what you'll get. ❤☀️🌵
Thank you for the video! It’s always nice to watch you create with reckless abandon!
My pleasure!

Best coffee dyed paper video I've watched. Just got finished with 200 sheets of paper! So quick and easy. Thanks for sharing!
I know this video was done over 3 years ago. I did it pretty much this method just now. Worked great!
Just found this video after doing individual papers. Ugh! So many torn sheets. BUT NOW … I’m going gobs and relaxing! 😎
Yes, please show us Holly and your love birds too, I love all of your videos. They are interesting, helpful and you are so funny!
Lillie
Thanks Pam. I’m a visual learner and watching you was such a help. Looks like fun. Have a great day! 💕🦋💐 oh, I love your measuring system, too. 😉
So glad!

The Paper Outpost, there are days though, I am afraid they will burst into flames it’s so danged hot. We’ve been in the 100+ days lately.
Thanks for sharing I like the idea doing them in stacks cool beans😃

I can't believe how pretty and unique they all are!

Just found this video, looking for ways to coffee or tea dye paper and I love this chaotic energy so much, hahah
Much love to Holly!
Thank you for this.
This tutorial was the very thing.
Happy to report that I went for it and I am absolutely delighted with the results x
What a great idea to do it in chunks. I think that's why I have tended not to coffee dye very much in the past because it took so long just putting a few sheets in at a time. This is far better. Thank you!!

Loved this video! Can’t wait for more!!💕💕 Let’s see Holly!
More to come!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing this! I never thought you could do so many at a time... game changer 🌟😆
How fun this is. I just tried a few sheets with some leftover coffee. Super easy and I added some used grinds. I’m addicted!
OMG your stove & oven are so clean. I'm going to the kitchen & cleaning my range😂
Oven cleaning is overrated because it gets dirty after just one roasted chicken lol.
I’m a chef - and I NEVER clean my oven lol.
LOLOL.. now that is funny!
This tutorial is going to save me a lot of valuable time as I usually dip the paper one at a time. Thank you so much.🙏
so glad you did this video, to see you put a small stack straight on the oven trays is an eye opener. I put one piece of paper on a tin tray and it takes so long to do a lot of paper...thanks for sharing!

I love this method of paper dying. Awesome, I can hardly wait to try some big batches. My husband thinks it's hilarious when I bake paper. 🤣
It worked beautifully! Thank you so much for the recipe and the tips! Hello, parrot!
Wow I love how they turn out ❤️💕❤️💕
Pam - this is a great technique! I always do one sheet at a time but no longer!
Me too!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You!!! Awesome process to get hundreds of sheets done in much shorter time...
Glad it was helpful!
That is easier!!! Here im doing this page by page. Thank you!!

Thanks Pam. I’ll get to it now, I think I prefer coffee to tea x so don’t worry about your hair dear Pam just so good to hear you and see your process
Funny this came up. Last 3 days I have been using the sun power and I enjoy being outside. I will have plenty for Winter.
Also I had a little coffee left over added more water and decided to go rogue by adding a packet of strawberry drink mix. I have some beautiful colored brown/pinky paper as well. I want some green too.
I work my papers in the oven similarly but I use a Turkey roaster pan. I swish the coffee back and forth to get it in between the sheets.
I just found you and I'm obsessed with this process!! I've already made a couple dozen pages! 💜
Thanks Pam for this video - I'm off to do a batch like this. Love Holly's contributions.
I love it! No frills, no fuss! Perfect! I've been hesitant to do any dyeing as the videos I've seen were much more complicated do to wanting various designs. That's too much work. I'm going to be trying your method...just as soon as I get more copy paper. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love your oven. I'm weird like that. Love nice appliances 😂😂
Very nice technique. I am looking forward to other paper dyeing videos!
I’m just now trying this and will definitely do it this way! I did the leftover coffee from my pot and it wasn’t very dark.
Just watched stencil and now with the oven can’t wait to try both always have done single air dry with fabric and paper new to me love Holly and your vids and inspiration abundant
Thank you so much for doing this and sharing it. Learning a lot.
Thank you so much for the video on coffee dying papers.
So much fun! Thanks for sharing!! 😀
I never thougt to put a hole stack of papers in the coffee dye. That is a lot faster. Great idea, thank you
I love the sound of Holly in the background ❤️
Awesome thank you I was doing one paper at a time taking me forever now I know ...
You can do it!
Great video! Thanks Pam ❤️
I used ready made cold brew! Worked well.
I didn't know you could dye so much at one time. I have always done sheet/page by sheet/page at a time and it takes forever. Going to try doing more at a time now. Thanks.
I found this very helpful......not sure I am brave enough to try quite that much paper! But I have my instant coffee!
I've been afraid to try this until now. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Pam for your video and for your inspiration! It’s always fun to try something new.
Love the idea of bulk dying paper! Thanks so much for sharing !
Thank YOU for your video! You sure have a lot of fun over there. And your birds - it was so cute to hear them in the background ♥️
I let my dyed papers, air dry
- mainly bc I don't soak them in coffee/tea or other liquids
I spritz them, so they do get wet, but they can dry quicker 😉🤣
Thanks for the cooking lesson, Pam
- love from Denmark 🌸 💕
I really like this idea...I'd like to try spritzing and air drying
