I use vanilla extract to dye some papers. The color is a little darker than the coffee dyed papers and the papers smell wonderful:)
Oooooo thanks 😊I'll be trying this tip today for a few harry potter journal pages.
I love it and the smell
I absolutely love this video! Natural dying should be used more frequently, here are some methods I’ve also tried
Black beans- lavender
Avocado pits- light pink
Turmeric reduction plus iron- olive
Thank you sm ☺️
How can I add Iron?
@@claudiahirthirt2464 By adding something rusty to the dye water. You can also make iron water first and then use it. There are tutorials on how to make iron water or iron mordant.
This is so fascinating! You could dabble into this endlessly! I love the shape of the jars you keep the dyes in, and they’re beautiful just sitting on the shelf. I wonder how watercress and dandelion would color the paper. Marigolds too!
Please let us know if you try them out! ♥️
你真的是个全才,什么都是你的擅长,我觉得你的想法都很好,讲解也很清楚,画面的视频,画作,工具三位一体的展示非常清楚,如果天气不好,我也会这样拍试试,但是天气好的时候,我还是喜欢去户外写生,在玩的时候也拍了有新鲜感的视频,自己开心,拍的视频也会让观众开心。
Thanks for other ideas. I used dried Sorrel to dye paper and doilies. The dye gave a deep pink color. I had limited drying space so I used white copy paper in-between layers. I have so many blush signatures I'm so happy to use. 🍵tip: putting a little hot sorrel tea in a cup with honey and cinnamon is a great treat while crafting.
Love the colours you've produced! I use:
Avocado skins. - Pink to almost purple
Wilted flower heads - scented phlox, so purple, blue, pink
Rusty pieces - brown, orange

Awesome thanks for sharing! I’ve done avo and it’s pretttty 💕
Avocado pits will give a beautiful pink color. The longer you soak the items the darker the color becomes. Red cabbage will give you a beautiful reddish color, a deep blue color or a purple color depending on the ph of the water used. You can add vinegar or baking soda to the dye to change the color.
Avocado seeds also make gorgeous button’s.
I have had some interesting results with turmeric where I got some bright pink patches!!! I was also doing tea staining, as I prefer it to coffee dyed paper, so it may have mixed.
I want to try Roibois tea next. I'm also a big fan of avocado dying. If you want it more pink just use the pitts/ stone. The skins add darker pink / blush tones.
I haven't tried it yet but I have heard that spirulina gives a nice green too.
Spirlina is so expensive!! But I have to try that omg😍😍 green paper is the best
When you done pulling the color from the seeds you can then make buttons and paint those. Just drill two holes to sew on the buttons. ❤
Late to the game, but for others just viewing this I thought I should mention that it may be a good idea to boil any flora outdoors. Some plant leaves or flowers may give off toxic fumes that shouldn't be inhaled. Looks like there are plenty of safe options from food though. Thanks Johanna for sharing this information. Can't wait to give it all a try. With summer coming, I'll be hitting the farmer's markets.
Thank you for featuring natural methods and techniques!!! The papers are so beautiful!
Love this! Thank you for sharing this.
Oh my goodness Johanna, thankyou so much for sharing such a brilliant idea. Can’t wait to see the natural dye papers in use. I’m imagining how perfect they would be in a botanical creation. On my to do list for the next time our mulberry tree has fruit. Love the labelled storage jars of liquid and the colour samples you added to your journal :)
I love this. Some of the colors are soft and muted while others are rich and vibrant. And it looks so simple to do. Thanks for sharing with us.
The quality of your videos is simply amazing.
Gorgeous!!! Love this video.. I have been making natural dyes all weekend- Rosemary, Blackbean, Concord Grapes, yellow onion skin, red onion skin, beets, red cabbage, avocado..beautiful colors and yummy results..
Love this Johanna! I believe Eucalyptus leaves; walnut shells and flower petals are also useful dyes.
Purple basil makes a lovely grey-green (I mean, the beauty is surreal). Goldenrod makes an amazing yellow. I've only done this with wool but I imagine it's the same on paper.
Love this info and your help with dying! I've just recently started experimenting with the dying process (and my countertop unfortunately shows it). TFS the inspiration!
Thank you so much for sharing this video Johanna! I was always wondering how you achieve those beautiful dyed papers and taking the time to share this with us, is just so thoughtful of you, and an awesome gift to all your followers!! Thank you so so much!! 😍😘😘😘
I love natural dyes. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so in love with this video!! My daughter and I did a science project with onion skins and it was fascinating!! We had a lot of fun!! The blueberries and green were really beautiful!!
Loved it! So, there are indeed no limits to your creativity..best junk journals and journal ideas I found on CZcams so far! Thanks so much for sharing!
Fantastic! Thanks for doing all the hard work so people like me can learn then have a go, rather than avoid it because I think it's probably too hard! The colours are gorgeous and some of them quite unexpected!
Oh Wow! I love the green and yellow you created!! Thanks so much for sharing.
I tried Butterfly Pea Flowers, sold as tea on Amazon. The papers turn out a beautiful light blue to violet.
Great video!!! This would be so fun with kids!!
Thank u Johanna. I luv the red cabbage dye. I am a subscriber of Juni Desiree and now u two💜
This is so cool! Your videos are always so informative. I love learning new things.
I like this idea of using natural dyes. Your colors came out so beautifully! How long does this kind of dye last in your glass bottles? And do you have to store it in the refrigerator?
Susan Taylor Brown i don’t think the dyes would last long term even in the refrigerator without some kind of additive. But i think you could freeze them if you needed to store them for a while. I will be using my dyes asap after making x
@@JohannaClough Ooo, I just had an idea. I wonder what kind of background would result if I froze the dye and then used a cheese grater to shave pieces off. I could let these pieces randomly fall onto the paper and melt leaving their color. Johanna, have you tried this?
@@lynnmking3008 Following to see how it turned out for you
@@lynnmking3008 screamed shot this idea... it's genius!
Hi Johanna, I enjoy your videos a lot but I find your voiceover really soft. I turn up my volume on maximum but some parts I really struggle to hear what you are saying, especially if you have background music going on.
I agree. It's hard to hear your voice.
I've used coffee, tea and inks but now you've given me some new ideas. Thank you for sharing 😊💗
Such lovely colours. I definitely want to experiment with this one day. Love your gorgeous bottles.
Thank you for sharing, this is some thing I would like to try. I might leave it till summer so I can do it out side. I have ended up staining the worktops with food colouring before today ! The papers can then dry in the sun.
Make sure that the pans, spoons and other things you use for it are the same every time, and dont use it for making food for yourself after, some of it May be toxic when you Boil it, like avocado peels, just a thing i learned making dye for my fabric..
I never heard of avocado peels being toxic and I can't find any sources on the internet. Where did you get that info from? 😊
You have some fabulous ideas, love your ideas, you have really inspired me thank you. Happy Mothers Day 💐
What a lovely video! I want to try making my own natural dyes now! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is beyond cool!
What a wonderful presentation. Have you tried using any of the dried food powders to see if you get a richer color as well?
Thank you, Johanna for making this video. You have inspired me to try my own. I am so excited!
Wow! Thank You!
Love this, thank you.
Currently learning to make my own inks and paper. Thoroughly recommend Make Ink - A Foragers Guide to Natural Inking by Jason Logan. The book is wondrous. I’m fortunate enough to live in the middle of a forest, so have a myriad of natural materials to hand. Something about the unpredictability. The alchemy of Nature and one’s imagination is magical ⭐️
Awesome idea and love natural products. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting this! The colors are amazing!
Thank you Johanna for sharing your methods and tips. I was delighted to find your video this morning, as I experimented with food dyes just last night, and the colors weren't exactly to my liking...I will try these methods and especially now that fruits and veg are going to be plentiful with summer around the corner. Beautiful presentation, BTW.
I used dewberries which are similar to blackberries and I have red to a lovely purple depending on the paper.
Fabulous video Johanna and very informative. TFS
What an awesome video and so cool all the items used to make colors. I’m fairly new at dying papers. I’ve done coffee/tea many times but today was first time with avacados and the papers came out so pretty. I have a question…I have lots of dye left and wondered about storing it. I noticed your beautiful bottles your dyes were in. Do you know the best way to store leftover dye like in a bottle, freezer, or refrigerator? Thanks for your amazing video and I’ll be checking out more of your videos. ☺️
Beautiful colors! Can’t wait to try!!!
I ve been wondering how u dye papers you use in your journals... finally u made video... thank you so much for making this video... this will be useful for making ☺☺ TFS 👍👍👍
Brilliant, thanks so much. I've aldo used:
Blue pea flowers- grey
Rooibos - pale orange
Hibiscus- pinkish
I heard spinach makes a pretty green dye!
Wow that's a great idea... I love green paper
How nice!! I really loved this video!!! I will try it!!! You are such an inspiration ! ❤️
Hibiscus would be interesting!
Wonderful results 🙏 I've done botanical, Avocado and mainly coffee dies 🙂 I have some Easter egg dies I am going to attempt next. TFS 😍
Loved his video it was very helpful!! TFS all your videos they are very helpful and inspireing! Thanks for sharing your journaling life with us💞💝💘😍
Awesome experimenting! Thanks for sharing your ideas xx
Amazing! What a nice way to colour your papers. I will give it a try. Hope to see more projects with these.
Ppuutrt
Xxxxdd
Some lovely ideas- definitely going to try some!
Wow, really unique and interesting, thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you! What's the shelf life on the liquid dye? Does it fade on the paper with exposure?
Very interesting and beautifully presented. I have some of the same questions as have already been asked below. Thank you.
Have you considered adding vinegar to one batch of red cabbage dye and baking soda to another batch? The colours will surprise you. Also a fun experiment for the kids to see.
This is the best... thank you for sharing. I’m off to gather some goodies to boil
Love this thank you for sharing the colours are so pretty. Hugs Susanna xx
Hi there, awesome video! Thank you! Have you by chance found anything that makes a Grey pigment?
Great idea! These sprays and paints can get expensive.
Sent by Juni Desiree.
That makes me think....how cool would these look if you put different colors in spray bottles and dyed by spray instead of soaking and dipping!
My favorite is goldenrod (solidago)... Turns a brilliant yellow.
can’t wait to see your new handmade journals!!! hoping to be able to snag one if they’re going on your etsy! 😍
Beautiful colour and textures 👌
I came here because Juni is having a giveaway... I am so glad I found this video because I have really wanted to try natural dyes!
Fabulous.Thanks for sharing - it is just what I had been looking for.
Really enjoyed this Johanna, thank you. Has got me thinking now what else could be used 🤔 would like to try this on fabric definitely
Flowers and plants can work too! ♥️
@@JohannaClough I thought about grass to use too, can always remember my boys with grass stained trousers 😊
How interesting ! Nicely done
Hi Johanna, I have been wanting to try natural dies but wondered whether it would make the paper smell, especially the red onion and the red cabbage, how did you find these? Thank you for sharing X
Hi Bernadette - I just did a red cabbage dye the other day and other than during boiling there was no smell. I was hoping for purple but ended up with a beautiful blue.
@@nikolinethomson4874 thanks nikoline, I might give it a go then 😁
Bernadette Taylor i had the same experience as Nikoline, the cabbage was quite smelly during making and using the dye but once the papers dried they didn’t smell. The stain that leaves the strongest smell out of this lot is coffee!!
@@JohannaClough thanknyou for your reply Johanna, I think I will be raiding my kitchen cupboards today x x
@@JohannaClough Have you tried beets? I wonder if they would go pink or magenta.
There is something so satisfying about watching someone die papers. Thanks for ideas, will be sure to try some out. x Marieke
Loved this! Those papers turned out beautifully! I have always wondered.... Does anyone know if the onion dyed retain any kind of onion smell? Thanks for sharing Johanna! ❤️
Late reply, it doesn't retain smell.
you can try using oranges or lemons to to concentrait the dys good idea ty
love it.. thanks. Do you make a paste out of these to draw fine lines? Could you make a video of that please?
Wow, so amazingly beautiful colours. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter!
Great idea! Thank You Johanna💚❤
Just beautiful! TFS! 😊❤️
This was such a lovely video about natural dyes. My question is, though, what do you do with all your dyed paper to dry them? I would think the dyes would stain whatever you laid them on. Ideas?
very happy you made this
cool idea, and you make this look so easy. thanks for sharing! what did you say you can use as a fixative for fabrics?
@@SusanTaylorBrown Thanks!
Beautiful idea thank you for this video ❤️
Happy Saturday
Beets also make beautiful colors as do turnips
you create such a calm and relaxing atmosphere! i'm just starting out on natural dying and handmade paper and i was wondering how long do these paints last and if you use anything to fix the colours? thank you!
I'm wondering how long they last, too! Maybe you need to can them in boiling water like you do to vegetables and fruits, to make them last longer?!
@@shellyvoyer2796 a good idea, yes. and maybe in some smaller jars so that you have "many portions" for a long period of time
@@mayadanailova2463
Just thought if something...you could freeze it! That would work! In small quantities and then pull out what you need
The colors are so beautiful and I love that it’s natural. How do you dry your papers? I’ve heard of people dry them in the oven. Thanks, Johanna!
I dry my coffee papers in the oven but i found that drying these colours in the oven made the colours change significantly so I prefer to leave them in the sun to dry ☀️
great video! want to try this soon on handmade paper
Thank you soo much😍😍😍i just love ur videos! It really helped a lot❤️
Sorry if I missed this. I did finally get around to making my own avacado dye, but I don't recall if you advise refrigerating these homemade dyes or not. I hardly have the room in my fridge, but if it wiser to keep them there, I will. I will soon be making red-cabbage dye too! TFS!! ~tina
Hi Johanna, I just found your channel when I searched for dying papers, this video was so informative many thanks, the cooled dyes can be stored in the glass bottles for using another time?
Thank you! Its so interesting
How do you store these so you can preserve them? I imagine they would mold after a while?
At John’s wert. Madrona tree. Avocado Camilla blossoms. Red current blossoms.
So beautiful!! What did you do with the food afterwards? I would hate to waste all that produce
Whats the shelf life of the dyes and do you need to storage them in the refrigerator?
This is great!!!! How fun!!
I steamed some strawberries in a pressure cooker. (insta-pot) It was a whim, but I liked the result!
Johanna!!! This is beautiful!!! So you dye these for your journals? Will the dye effect long term storage on the papers????
