    HAVE FUN AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PAPERS AT ALL TIMES!!
    If you want to check out how these papers came out, watch this video (timestamp 6:40): • Ramble Session 106: Ge...
    Materials:
    Rubber gloves
    13x9 baking dish
    Water
    Food coloring
    Spatula
    Cookie sheet with sides
    Cooling rack to fit inside cookie sheet
    Process:
    *Cover and protect all surfaces
    *Fill 13x9 baking dish an inch or so of water
    *Drop in 24 drops of food coloring
    *Place one sheet of paper into water and tamp down till submerged
    *Continue putting sheets individually one on top of the other (10)
    *Let soak for about 20 minutes
    *With gloves on, carefully take pages out individually and "flop" them one on top of the other onto the cooling rack inside the cookie sheet with sides, there will be peaks and valleys, that's ok cuz that's how the marbling happens...it's magic!
    *If you are not air drying, place cookie sheet into a 250 degree F oven and KEEP AN EYE ON IT AT ALL TIMES
    *Once the papers begin to dry, take them out one at a time
    *Iron if you desire

    Came across this video by happenstance and I love you already! It's so nice and comforting to watch a crafting tutorial by people who are straight up and not pretentious as get out with a gazillion dollar perfectly organized craft room and craft table in the background and perfect manicures. TFS. You are quite talented and Seriously outstanding amongst so so so many crafting artists. I'm just so happy I came across your channel today. Keep on rolling girl...YOU ROCK!

      I dunno much about being pinned, but I hope it's a good thing. After all, my notification said "Congratulations, you've been pinned.." Honestly, I've never commented on a crafting video til today. I'm just blown away by your absolute creativity and real talk. And I guess I should say something like..."oh.em.gee...she pinned my comment." Instead I had to google what that means. Lmfao. Yeah, I'm old school,

I am thrilled that you came by my channel and I do hope you peruse its contents and find it equally appealing :) Honestly...I'm not fancy-shmancy...all I know how to do is be me/real and I'm happy that you enjoyed and hope that you continue to enjoy. Not a fan myself of "gazillion dollar perfectly organized craft room" and I do not care one iota about my nails. I'm simply an empty nester trying to explore my creative side with a passion for journaling and all things creative. You made my day with your comment and that is why you were "pinned" it is a good thing, LOL!! Be safe and be well, Elizabeth

    I love the simplicity of this video. Thank you for sharing your process with explanations of what you are doing. I'm tired of seeing vidoes where people claim to "make something out of nothing" using all these expensive professionally designed and packaged beautiful products that someone on a fixed budget could never afford. I am disabled and stuck in my shoebox apartment just wanting to explore my creative side and maybe create something to bring a little color and joy into my otherwise dull, boring life. So I am going to try this on a smaller scale with smaller papers and probably air dry them.

Now that we are living on a fixed budget as well, I need to use what I have; so many beautiful things can come from so little material or material that we have around our house as long as we just look.

    I use the McCormick food coloring to make my own spray and alcohol inks. Since the name brands are quite expensive. It’s a lot of fun to just play with and add color to my journals when I don’t want to watercolor a page.

    The reason for the veining is the air pushing the dyed water across the paper and it drying very fast on unevenly like blowing on distress inks which if you drop them on wet paper spread like that too, probably weight of inks in water.

    I came across your video by chance. Thank you Elizabeth for showing how to dye paper using food dye. I had been wondering about this and was about to try...now I am definitely going to dye some papers. while watching I was transported 40 years to when I was studying and carried out lots of natural dyeing on materials, wools etc. I used items like onion skins, fruit skins, beetroot, tea, coffee etc. I also used natural mordants found in my home to help make the colours fast ( not run when washed). I had not experience with this topic and tried anything and everything found in my house to make colours.
    I really liked your natural, matter of fact attitude towards making your video. I also liked your disclaimer about not being responsible for the end product and also not to leave the kitchen...
    Thanks again for 20 min of education with humour.

But about the time that I said that, I realized that it was the light up above. I am watching many different ways to dye my papers. This is one of the ones I like best.

    I haven't read all of the comments, so not sure if someone else suggested....but I have been seeing shaving cream dying shoes on the internet. I wonder what that would do? I'm envisioning spraying the foam into a baking pan, putting the coloring drops and then squishing in the paper....or even paper down first, then layer the foam and coloring..... then maybe have a pan of water to dip and rinse the sheets. This may be more work than worth, but seems like it could make cool marbling as well.

Just leaving this there for people reading that don't have a big enough pan for the entire sheet 😊

    Only done tea dyed paper so far, but I used my Sahara food dryer; put the wet papers straight onto each rack (2 papers side by side slightly overlapping) - 12 racks; lowest setting on my food dryer for about an hour and a half on regular cycle, and they dried quickly. Didn't have to worry about setting fire to the kitchen, but I did check them a few times. Put a few into a low oven but got too nervous about that and changed them back into the food dryer. (I haven't got much space to just lay them out, and have cats. We know about cats and paper, right?). Definitely going to give this method a try soon. Those papers look amazing.

    • @NeverHopelessbyElizabeth
      @NeverHopelessbyElizabeth  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks for watching!! Honestly, I’m not sure because I’ve never tried it, you might have to experiment. My only concern would be the integrity of the paper weave. After dunking it the first time, I would assume the weave of the paper would loosen, if that makes sense. Try it! You might be onto something new 😊 Be well 🕊️

    Great tutorial, I am going to give this a try. Now for the silly question. I've done tea dying before, but with this, I noticed you just used cold water? Many thanks ~Karin~

    • @NeverHopelessbyElizabeth
      @NeverHopelessbyElizabeth  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you so much for watching!! Glad you enjoyed and I do hope you give it a go :) I just use tap water and add the drops of food coloring, the more drops, the deeper the color. In my experience, the temperature of the water does not make a difference. The only reason one would use hot water for tea dyeing is because the tea has to be able to steep in order for the color to come out of the tea bags, the longer it steeps (depending on how much tea you used) the deeper the color brown, but I don't think that the temperature has any bearing on the outcome of the color. Hope that makes sense. Be well, Elizabeth P.S. If you do try the food coloring, I'd love to see your outcome, tag me on IG @neverhopeless123 ;)

      Thank you so much for watching Valerie!! Initially I let them soak for about 20 minutes, then they soak for how ever long they take to dry in the oven.
