My husband passed away in sept. I found coffee dying paper helped me forget things. I dyed around 3,000 sheets of paper from sept to March. So if I ever get my Etsy store up and running I will have plenty of paper to sell
Oh, Cindy! I’m so sorry to hear about your husband! I lost mine five years ago... and Junk journaling has helped immensely. Sending love and prayers!❤️
Hi Cindy. Condolences as you traverse this first year without him. I hope you'll share some of your work through videos soon. Junk Journals really are therapy. Creative Blessings!
Oh Cindy, so very very sorry for your loss. We are here to offer you love & support as well as inspiration. Journalling is amazing therapy. Love to see your journals because you must be making a few with all that lovely coffee dyed paper you have now. Have you tried using avocado to dye your papers. I tried it recently for the first time and the pink it gave was so pretty. Love & hugs, C xx
It's so much fun to go through the papers after they're done. Idea for you. Squish about 5 blueberries in about a cup of water and bring to a boil and cool. It makes the lovliest blue paper. Love the sage green. I mix instant coffee, tea and vanilla for my paper. I have a box of things I've collected waiting to dye but haven't had the time to get it all done. Do you know if the fabrics are colorfast? Oh if you ever see the Easter egg dyes on clearance they're really fun and inexpensive. I found some gorgeous natural Easter egg dyes and I paid about fifty cents for it. But these are just beautiful and inspiring me to get it done! Thank you!
Oh thank you, the blueberry dying sounds great. I will give this a try next time we have a garden day. I don’t think we have Easter egg dye here? I hope you have fun making lots of colourful papers x
I really like the color variation on the lace curtains!! I was so hoping I could color some lace fabric and trims...your video shows me that I can, indeed, do this for myself. Thank you! Added note: love the vintage look when coffee was added. Can't wait to give this a try!!
Pretty! A couple of weeks ago I discovered I'd bought (and forgot about) those little Easter egg tablets, so I put one color each into a spray bottle with hot water, shook it up, sprayed a plastic lid and then dabbed my paper onto the splotches. I ended up with some beautiful spring-colored paper with fun splotchy patterns of color. The egg-dye pink is definitely a bright pink, but combined with some sprays of yellow or orange turned the paper a lovely pastel peach that's very vintage looking but still hints at springtime. I've fallen in love with the pink myself (such a cheerful color, a great mood brightener) and have found myself making a boatload of pink&cream ephemera. I also discovered that those bright colors applied to *cream* paper creates some lovely faded colors. I'm going to use up the rest of the egg dye water on some book pages if the sun comes out later today.
Loved seeing your results Tina. Yesterday I came to the conclusion I needed more dyed paper and here you are giving me more ideas. I have some inks I might try and I’d love to try eco dyeing but it’s winter ☔️here and I think I’ll leave that until at least spring. Thanks for sharing.🌈😁
Hi Tina! Your lace and papers turned out beautifully! I was hoping to see the actual process from start to finish, so I need to find that video. I have never dyed anything before, so I need instruction so I don't mess it up! lol. I have some white lace curtain that I would like to try to color. Wish me luck! Once again, your results here are fabulous! Great job! TFS Happy Creating! Samantha
I loved the papers /doilies esp the blush beigy pink....not so keen on the brighter papers and have never liked coloured lace except for coffee dyed but I can see and hear you are very excited by it all and look forward to seeing you use them
My word girl! You were a staining machine! Everything turned out just wonderful but the lace was scrumptious. What a fantastic stash you have created. Good for you!
OMG, The aqua and green lace turned out so gorgeous! And the paper is AMAZING! I really enjoy experimenting when I am dyeing lace and paper, too!! Thank you for showing these. It's wonderful!
I love, love, loved all the beautiful colors you got in the papers, doilies and especially the laces! The greens were so gorgeous but the aqua was my absolute favorite color you did! So yummy!!! 💙😊💙 Awesome job on everything!
Tina, these are amazing! I love all the great colors you achieved in the process of dyeing. Really stunning how well. They all came out! Thank you for sharing.
I love dyeing papers!! I have some lace I need too dye as well!! I love the purple and teal! My youngest daughter is getting married in September and teal is one of her colors! Tfs your beautiful goodies!!😍🤗
Hi Tina, I also love love love experimenting with coffee dying, food coloring dying and I've also used Rit dye, your aqua colored lace you showed at the end of this video was just so beautiful and awesome. I'm going to try to get that color. That color just took my breath away, so beautiful! : )
Absolutely beautiful, Tina! Wish I could have been there with you in your garden to help! Always wondered about using food coloring with papers and fabric, and now I know. I like the aqua, but my favorite is the vintage green, so gorgeous! Thanks! Wendy
You were a very busy lady doing all the dying! You really achieved some beautiful colours, and the teal (I loved it with the white paper best) is just stunning! I can hardly wait to see your creations with some of the papers and lace.
This was fun to see! I haven't heard where anyone else puts coffee into their colored dyes! Cant wait to see what you do with your new papers and laces!
Thank you so much Tina, I really really love 💕 those papers and laces.....I can seen how excited 😆 you are. They’re really really lovely. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks Mags, yes I was excited, I just loved the pretty colours, especially when they are all stacked together in a pile.........am at risk of hoarding them now! Lol . Hope all is well with you x
yummy yummy lol - i love to use food coloring, kool aid drink mix, fabric dye and inks - your batch of papers and lace are fabulous - TFS Tina - be well xx
Beautiful colors. I love the aqua color. I just dyed papers with food coloring a few days ago and love how they turned out. Hope you and your family are doing well. 😁🇨🇦
Really love the different colors.. I too love green, teal and aqua.. I have used food coloring and coffee on some of my papers and they turned out great.. I can't wait to see how you use them..take care and see at our next tea time..🤗
I haven't tried dyeing with instant coffee or with food coloring. I noticed that I still have a couple of pieces of your grandmother's lace curtains that I am hoarding. I don't iron my papers and just stack them in a spot where they are pressed in a tight spot. I have 11 x 14 papers that I dye that I bought from a thrift store. I just started dyeing some grungy looking paper by spraying a blue color on top of the wet paper and making puddles of the coffee and blue together. I still keep giving away my papers and I still have so much. The weather has been so hot that I could make more. The green is my favorite of your paper❤
What a fantastic time saver to not need to iron your papers 🙃 . Your coffee and puddles of blue sounds lovely. Oh yes, do some more whilst the weather is hot and they will dry quickly. I love the green also, although I just love the look of the entire bunch piled up, it looks sooooo pretty, it was definitely a fun time. You’re always giving things away, I am actually surprised that you have anything left! 🤭🤗😉 x
All were beautiful, the brighter ones along with the darker ones. My most favorite is the teal (my favorite color). The teal lace was the icing on the cake.
These turned out so wonderful love all the different colors, I am just waiting for a warm enough day and no wind , the no wind in my area of the world is a rare event so I may have to stick to doing it inside but I might get lucky. TFS Hugs and Smiles
I coffee dyed some lace, but it had a horrible coffee smell afterwards, ended up putting the lace in washing machine to get rid of smell which it did and also took the colour out! So I have been reluctant to coffee dye anything else!
Wow you’ve been busy love the teal and pink, I did red cabbage and got loads of blue papers. Next time I go shopping I’m getting pink food colouring if it’s back in stock. Xx
I also dye my fabrics and paper with food coloring and coffee. You can also put your left over colors in jars to fill up little spray bottles and use the spray like you would the ink sprays. They turn out beautifully. Hugs 🤗
GdM Tina! WOW!! I'm so glad you shared this project with us! I was wondering how I could get colored papers in junk journals (other than coffee/tea dyed). Hope your daughter is loving being back to school with her friends too! Have a wonderful safe and blessed day! Also a wonderful 4th of July! Peace & Blessings!
Those are really pretty. Have you thought about dissolving your gel dye with hot water in a small batch before you add it to your large container? Perhaps if you make a concentrated batch first it might help.
Oh wow love the grape and the teal/aqua colour too. Sorry Green is not my colour... Do you usually wet the fabrics first Tina, before putting them into the dyes? I think it can help but I've never done it so I was wondering 😁😁 thanks Elaine x❤️
These are so gorgeous Tina! I think the green lace is my very favorite. I was going to do a blue journal as soon as I finish my current project, but now I don't know... might have to be green! TYFS all this. I do indeed feel quite inspired. With love from the Southern California desert, MK ❤☀️🌵
I love the teal and grape colours. I’m going to be buying food dye! What did you use? I love dyeing things, I used procion on fabric and the pieces were wild but the whole process was time consuming and my hands reacted badly.. you are such an inspiration Tina, so artistic and feet down to earth and honest. You’ve been a blessing through the long weeks of shielding. Thank you. So now I need to buy food dye...I will run out of money if I’m not careful....😊❤️
Oh thank you so much Sara, I really appreciate your kindness. I am so thrilled that you have been enjoying my videos and that they have been a small part of helping you get through this difficult time. I used Wilton food colour gels, I have had them for years, so I couldn’t find the exact ones that I used, but Amazon have that same brand. Have fun and continue to stay safe and well x
All those yummy colors,you have done an amazing job . Soo pretty Tina. Where do you get your square and rectangular shape dollies. I need alot of them thanks for sharing1❤
Oh I’m so sorry. I just literally took the food colouring to a lasagna dish of hot water, then I mixed it with a little coffee, just playing around with the colours until I had a colour I wanted x
Those papers are gorgeous 😍😍 when you mix food colors and coffee do you spray them or brush them please ? Thank you so much for sharing those beauty ❤️
WOW! Your laces and papers are gorgeous! Can you tell me what brand of gel food coloring you used? There are so many out there and I'm sure some are better than others. xo
Hi Deb, I used Wilton food colour gels, I got them from Amazon several years ago, I couldn’t find the exact ones anymore. I’m not sure what the liquid food colours would work like? Have fun x
Gorgeous results Tina, what weight is the paper you have used? sadly we don't see the true colours on screen, never thought of adding coffee to the food colouring something l will certainly have a go at trying, tfs lovely lady huge hugs x Julie
My paper is 100gsm, slightly up from the regular copy paper, which tends to be 80gsm. Yes the coffee just tones it down slightly and makes it look suitable for vintage works I think, otherwise it was all a bit bright x
Just poured coffee granules into my big lasagna dish, straight into the boiling water. The food colour is more like a gel, so I just added it with a knife and stirred it around. I added the food colour first, and then slowly added the coffee as I felt it needed it x
@@shabbydabbydoodah you more than welcome,you have been there for me with all my email ect n thought why not iv never seen those.items n colors on esty you would do so good selling them,I'm nourishing you luck you don't need it you got to 20k by being yourself n honest
Beautiful results, Tina! Did you add anything to the food coloring as a fixative? Did I miss that? I'm going to rewatch the video just in case ;-) Creative Blessings!
I never thought to mix coffee in with my colored dyes! I can't wait to try that! Yours all turned out beautifully!

That aqua if fabulous. You have been a busy beaver. TFS

Amazing color - can't wait to experiment.
I’ve sewn messy patches onto ripped papers for journal pages and it turned out really cool. Just another layer for interest. 😀
Wonderful job, Tina!!

I got mine from a cash and carry called Bookers, but I have seen some on Ebay x
Would have loved to see your dye recipe and how you did this. I watched for 19 minutes hoping for the DIY instructions.
Oh I’m so sorry. I just literally took the food colouring to a lasagna dish of hot water, then I mixed it with a little coffee, just playing around with the colours until I had a colour I wanted x
Those papers are gorgeous 😍😍 when you mix food colors and coffee do you spray them or brush them please ?
Thank you so much for sharing those beauty ❤️
Thank you, I literally dunk them into a large lasagna dish x
Shabbydabbydoodah wow then it’s not how it’s who did it and you made them look fabulous 😅❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for replying dear ❤️❤️
When dying fabric you get different results with different fabric content e.g. natural fibers takes dye better then man-made
REALLY LOVELY, I LIKE THEM USED WITH THE COFFEE DYED PAPER. HAVE SEEN KOOL AID USED, BUT ITS NOT AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA. 👋CAMILLE
Hola ,no entiendo inglés me podías decir si tienes algún vídeo de teñir papel ,cartulina ,telas , puntillas ,etc?

Can you tell me what brand of gel food coloring you used? There are so many out there and I'm sure some are better than others. xo

@@shabbydabbydoodah Thanks Tina! Now that we are moving, I don't think I can do this yet! Maybe in October! I'll have lots of room to dry papers :)

My paper is 100gsm, slightly up from the regular copy paper, which tends to be 80gsm. Yes the coffee just tones it down slightly and makes it look suitable for vintage works I think, otherwise it was all a bit bright x
They are so lovely, how do you iron your papers? Do you put a damp cloth on top ? Also how do you dry your papers ? X
I dyed these in the garden, so they were able to dry naturally in the sun. I just iron straight onto the paper x
Do you chuck out the leftover dye waters or save them to reuse?
I used it all x
Those are gorgeous, did you mix some to get the green or was it a cake icing type of food coloring?
No, it was the green food colour. I did add coffee though to tone it down x
hi! do you mix the food coloring and coffee right at the start of making the dye?
Just poured coffee granules into my big lasagna dish, straight into the boiling water. The food colour is more like a gel, so I just added it with a knife and stirred it around. I added the food colour first, and then slowly added the coffee as I felt it needed it x

Beautiful results, Tina! Did you add anything to the food coloring as a fixative? Did I miss that? I'm going to rewatch the video just in case ;-) Creative Blessings!
No you didn’t miss anything, I didn’t add anything as a fixative x
Can you explain how you did this?? Did you mix the coffee and dye in the same container then add paper or dip the paper in separate containers ??
I mixed it all in the same tray, a large lasagna dish, and then just dunked the papers one at a time x
Tina hello there 🤗 - 2 questions : do u iron your paper after dried? and what kind of paper do u used? thanks girl 🤗❤️
Hi Alicia, to answer your questions, yes I iron the papers after they are dry, and These were all on 100gsm copy paper x
@@shabbydabbydoodah
oh hi there 🤗 thanks so much 🙂🌺
When you say grape do you mean purple food coloring or did you use something else
Yes purple, sorry for the confusion x
Where do you get the doilies? I never see them where i live!?
You should be able to find similar on Ebay, these were from Bookers x
Thank you 😊
