What an easy method! Thank you.
get you a mans who'll dye your paper for you, ladies
I love the crinkly sound the dried paper makes
Well Mr Mike! Thanks for the great tut as usual! I spent the best Sunday afternoon making some coffee/tea (no ink) dyed papers. It was sooo satisfying to see the results so quickly, unlike my old method of waiting for hours/days for them to dry. Did a bunch of music sheets, graph papers, ledger papers etc. For anyone else interested, I used my all in one Ninja air fryer on bake setting (model that flips up after use) at 375F. Took max 2 mins per page. I put them on a baking sheet paper, not silicone (from target, Walmart etc) and the bonus is you end up with a crunchy, vintage, translucent baking paper on which you can even stamp with stazon!
Yay…sounds like a satisfying afternoon’s work!
Omg this is a godsend, no more taking all day to tea dye paper that is never dark enough. Thank you so much for this! I'm so doing this!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad I found a guy doing this. I was starting to think maybe something is wrong with me being interested in this stuff. Lol!
We're a rare old breed us crafty blokes!!!
So easy. No drippy piles everywhere ❤
Right?!
I hadn’t thought of using distress ink added to the coffee mixture. Great idea! Thanks for sharing it! ❤️
Oh, so much easier & faster than the alternatives. YOU the man!!!
I went through a paper making stage. My wonderful husband made screens and I used his moms blender for making the pulp. And then I started making tea dyed newsprint. Hung those on the clothesline to also get sun dried and crinkled. To use an English term, my neighbors thought I was bit “daft”. I feel a paper kinda day coming on. Thank you for renewing my interests. As always, love your style and that you share it with the world.

Going to give this a try, I like that it is a quick way to get dyed papers. The only thing better that aged paper is the lovely sound it makes when they are ruffled together. Thanks for a great video!
Lovely color and a quick method. Thank you for sharing.
I prefer your method out of all the methods I have seen. Thanks so much
I agree Laura! I've tried various methods & wound up with a batch of over crinkled paper (the dye application method with the sponge stick must help keep it flat) & sticky brown mess everywhere - best tutorial for ageing paper - thanks so much Mike!
The crackling of the paper sounds great and a simple methode
I like your method. So much easier and less messy than the other ones I have seen on UA-cam. I hope Ian sold a lot of his fantastic creations at the show he attended. Love all of your videos.
Very relaxing to watch this process with the lovely music. Great process. I think this is the best.
Best method that I have seen yet. Thanks Mike!
Thank you, I will try that.
I like to dry mine in the sun. I think once it warms up again, I'll try this on my glass top patio table. Crazy Atlanta weather!
Ha Debbie. Clothes I have worn in the last 24 hours - shorts and tank top, long pants and t shirt, running capris and t shirt, long pants and sweatshirt and capris with a 3/4 sleeve shirt. I will likely need all for this weekend too!
Finally a quick way to get this done! Great tutorial! TFS ~ L
TFS... I love using TM dyes from the Ink refills... I also use my dehydrator to dry several layers of papers safely at a time... plus I can do all that in the garage, so I dont have to be careful to not get the ink/dye on my kitchen floor...
BRILLIANT!😊
Great, thank you for sharing your method :D I live in Las Vegas, NV USA where there is zero humidity and papers dry here in short order!
Have a nice night!
Yes I did enjoy your video, and your sense of humor. Thank you.
Thanks Mike, what a perfect way to dye papers without taking all day!!!!
Love your method! Much easier and less messy.
I like the idea of using the sponge brush....I usually spray and there is always over spray to deal with......thank you!
That’s excellent thank you Mike.
Never thought about dying the oven.
Definitely will do this. 🎉🎉💖
I sometimes layer my papers when they are wet at different angles and get some interesting patterns and shades as they dry in oven. Thanks for sharing.
Try a pizza pan you well love the dots it lives on the paper to I also use ink and if you have a dish with a pattern you can get the other impression if you lay it over top of it to dry you will love the look any kind of plate that has an depression on it will come out great also the dots from the pizza pan hope that helps you much love Denina ♥️
I put up a photo of my beautiful stack of dyed papers using your method on the " Friendly Junk Journal People" group page on Facebook. I of course mentioned I used your method and was quickly inundated with questions! Don't be surprised if that vid gets a lot of new views in the next couple of days. 😃 Thanks Mike...love your vlog by the way. Give Mr. Bentley a hug for me!
Love your way
Great idea, I make sometimes a big pile of coffee dyed papers, but only when the sun shines so it dries Quickly. But this and the oven it is so great when it is winter and we don’t have the warm sun.
Thank you for such a helpful tutorial!
I have used this method as well as other methods. I have also used the actual tea bag to add the tea to the papers... pressing in dabs .... works too!... (I like to also use a slightly damp dishcloth which I place over the papers as they come out of the oven... keep them in a pile... just adding the new one on top...place the dishcloth and cover with a heavier towel... It has the effect of straightening out the papers asap!!!!)
Lilywhyte Wallis - I love your suggestion also!
Good idea!
Thanks for taking the time to show us your dying process. Enjoy all of your videos, especially your weekly vlogs sharing with us Mr. Bentley, Ian & your parents. Thanks again. Lillie
So glad summer is here if only the wind would control herself ...I have never thought of adding "tea dye " distress ink.mega hugs for this video.
Susan Salyer-I love the way you referred to the wind as "her." I never really thought about it but her temperament seems a little more feminine.
Please don't be throwing shade at me. I may not have been very PC, but it was all in jest. Obviously not all females are like that, at least not over the age of four.☺️
Blessings❣
Never thought to add distress ink. Great tips! TFS!
finally something easy to do...the papers look great and probably smell delicious. Had a big move from one state to another - been busy trying to find all my "stuff"- no matter how organized before the move, no one can ever really get back to creating for a while...l enjoy your videos all the time...thanks Mike. Margy

Brilliant video Mike I have shared this one.
Mike you are a genius! I am new to tea dying and I love technique! Thank you for sharing!
1st time tea dyer here. Adding ink to the mixture is genius. I haven’t seen anyone else suggest that. Your process is much easier than what I had in mind. I think I’ll go with yours.
Thanks, Mike! Taking the mystery out!! :)
Thanks for sharing this,,,xx
Well done Mike, love this and will try it 🇦🇺😉👍🏻

Omgoodness! Thank you so much! I was getting so tired of my paper ripping with the soaking method. Can't wait to try!

Great idea. Tks.
Thanks for sharing 😁
The. Best. !!!!

Well done 👍🏼
Thanks for this!!!
Saludos desde Argentina! me encanta su canal !!
Thanks for sharing. I think I can actually do this :)
Great job Mike. And the papers look great. =^^=
That's amazing! I never liked the no tea tea dye methods because they look so bad, but this looks exactly like the real thing!
TFS! Never thought to use Distress Inks!
What a great idea to add distress ink! I can never get the darkness I desire, this may do it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Kimarie Andrews try using hot coffee - dries darker :)
Kerri Rodd I use warm water, will try hot....I also used instant coffee instead of brewed....would that make a difference?
I use instant but i dip mine in a large tray instead of painting it on. the more coffee you add the darker it will be but i find using boiled water and leave for 2-3 mins before use does the trick. its the heat that allows the coffee to permeate the paper fibres. :) you can also soak the paper using the method iv said above. i dry mine in oven or under the grill :)

Cool and easy!!
Hugs Marsha
I love your channel! So much inspiration! Blessings...
Brilliant, just when I decided to look for a way to do it, you come through for me. Much love.xx
I was just gonna do some! :). glad I ckd my vids first
Hi its me again!! LoL....I use a grill sheet...also ..its one you put on the outdoor grill to keep things from falling thru...it has cross hatches..very unique...I use warm coffee and soak the papers for. a min or 2...I just got a rack to put cookies or whatever you want to cool on...thought would give that a go...the pattern should be interesting!!! WLYK... Also use pages from an XL drawing / multi media pad...it also comes out of pad clean..has perforations...Also have used the spray bottle method..didn't like it as much...Have you tried KoolAid for a different color?... Just a few thoughts...Just saw this video..sorry it took so long!!
Great tutorial Mike! I was only able to do one sheet at a time but was still able to 21 in approximately 40-45 minutes! TFS 😊
Glad it helped!
Hi, I'm new to staining papers and wondered if the paper is more fragile after being in the oven ? How long do you leave it in the oven for ? Can't wait to start using this technique xx
Brilliant Mike - followed your method and got LOADS done! It really speeds the process up know end and is helpful to see you 'in action'. TFS
Hello, new subscriber and instant fan! Thank you for the awesome technique. So much easier and looks fantastic.
new subbie🤗
👍
Mike have u tried using bleach on your pages after tea/coffee dying them? also works if you bleach patterns on before hand, adds a lovely pattern :)
Morning, Great video. Love that it easier then most videos I have seen ( I like easy!) I apologize if I am asking a question you may have already answered??? I see you used the distress ink, If I use a wet medium will it run?? Thanks, LS
Is that 150 Celsius? If so, ~300 F, for us Yanks. Thanks, I've been putting this off for 2 weeks, due to the messy process/time of others...This is a brilliant solution! Thanks so much!! Karen
From what I remember paper will ignite at 450 degrees so I would think that 300 for those of us in the states. I have worked at 275 degrees before.
Great video! thank you for for sharing. How much distress reinker per how much water did you use?
Great! Leave it to you to find a simpler way! Thanks!
