If you would like to see what I do with the left over tea bags, have a look at these videos: (Altered Vintage Playing Cards) czcams.com/video/Kp0BxSKPXx0/video.html and (Vintage up those magazine images) czcams.com/video/eQ0P-A1tD74/video.html
Thanks for getting back to me, I am excited about it!
I am new at Junk Journals and I enjoy your videos. I would love to see videos using Easter Egg dye and vegetables and anything else that you can use. I am going to take the leap and try tea dying some paper. I love your videos! ❤❤❤
Can you tell me what kind of copypaper you use, mine starts to break down when I'm submerging it..
My type writer paper breaks up but artist paper doesn't. I don't submerge the type writer paper I squeeze the tea bag over it which works great.

I'd like to see a whole series of just dying papers with different methods. Fascinating.
Love this idea!!!!

A series sounds awesome!

'I don't have time to iron things that should be ironed'. Ha Ha Ha!!
BUT she has THREEEEEEEE DAYS ?!?! to dye paper?
I do mine in 45-min to 1 hour from start to finish- done n dried. An hour (about as many or more pages). I don’t have three days to dye paper 🤦🏻♀️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I came here to say this very thing! 😂 Natasha, you're my kind of woman. When my daughter was 16 she asked me "mammy, do we have an ironing board?" and I replied "Yes, it's the digital piano stand that you practiced piano on for 4 years!" She had seen me use many tools over the years but an iron wasn't one of them.😂 I'm new to journalling and your tutorials are great. I've been using tea and coffee to stain new wood in household projects for years but as I move to paper crafts it's great to learn from paper masters such as yourself. I did a small first batch blind without all of the logistics figured out in advance (drying space in particular). Also, as I used an older roasting tin, the solution became grayer as it began to oxidize with the surface of the metal, delivering a gray/green hue that I didn't care for. Second time I used a newer tin with better results. Fantastic to see your process in particular to see that sheets can be par dried in small bundles and separated midway through. Your channel is great for 'keeping it real' compared to some creators that have studios as big as a small house. Once again, thank-you for sharing your talent. You set a high bar for us newbies but it's great to have a quality standard to aim for. 🙏
"I don't have time to iron things that SHOULD be ironed" is the comment that made my day :D
absolutely love the tea dyed paper - amazing!!!
I like them all, but would like to see the onion dye.
I have used purple onion skins and it turns the paper this beautiful sage green color. It’s gorgeous!
@@ajennyforyourthoughtscincy How much onino skins do you need? Save a bunch in a produce bag until ready to use?
Since I don't have anything like your lacey tablecloth, I tried adding stencils on top of my wet/dyed papers, and it works beautifully. And it allows me to use all those stencils I've bought and made over the years and years!!! Great ideas in the vid! TFS!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial. You are the only one I’ve seen who uses “baking soda” though and it makes perfect sense! I also hadn’t thought of using a vinyl tablecloth to lay out my papers to dry. This tutorial was loaded with “tips and tricks” thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Claudia :)
You are truly the Queen of Treasure Books ! I learn so much from you . Thank you for all your hardwork in making these videos !!
Love them all,but the onion an the avocado would love to see them
Oh my gosh! I love your personality explaining all this! "I don't have time to iron things that should be ironed." "🤣
I have never felt so excited just watching a tutorial video! You have a brilliant mind and are incredibly inspiring ❤
Great video... thank you
Can you also make a video on the purple paper? I love how that looks! This video is really great!
I would guess same as teabags except use an Easter egg dye tablet. She probably leaves out the Vinegar due to ph levels.
I tried doing this with some fruit tea bags. The water from them was a glorious dark pink so I thought I'd get some fabulous results from that. However, the colour seemed to oxidise in the air and all the paper came out grey! Not really a problem as they are lovely, but very unexpected. If you see my previous comment about drying the teabags on watercolour paper to make stains, I did this with the fruit tea bags and got gorgeous grey stains which I then doodled over in black. I am absolutely thrilled with the result of these! The actual teabags did stay pink and once I'd taken out the tea, I ended up with some nice pink teabag paper to use in projects.
I would love to see the dying using onion skins. Sounds interesting.
Awesome information - thank you. I would love to see the onion dying process. We use a lot of shallots so I think those skins would give a lovely purple hue to the solution. Your drying process is perfect; I have to use my oven to since I can't even imagine the havoc my cat would wreak on a floor full of paper! LOL
Oh gosh, Yes. No. Not with a cat in a house hahahah
You would get some very cute Paw pad stains on your papers!!! 🐱
I’ve been anxious to watch someone actually doing tea dye
As a chemist, I love this!
I'd love to see the onion dyed paper video. Thank u for all ur valuable info. Hugs from Corpus Christi, Tx 💙
Your LOVE of PAPER, as you shared with us 'why", REALLY shows!!! It's so apparent you find utter joy working with it in the more ways the better! I'd loved to see your other methods. This one is an absolute keeper! Thanks darling lady! ~Ana xo
Thank you so much Ana!!
They all turned out beautiful! ❤ I started using beetroot juice from precooked beetroots. That makes a very pretty pink colour. I started collecting the juice in the freezer.
I used beet juice also but it seemed to soften my paper. Maybe heavier paper would be better. I still used them all though. I love the rosey color.
I love that trick with plastic doily! I know what I'm going to try finding next week :-) the patterns are soooo pretty!
Thank you for answering the questions I wanted to ask :) Would love to see how to dye the purple ones. Usually I use coffee (love the smell...and taste) and hibiscus tea: the tea turns pink and the flowers turn the paper blue afterwards. Love the effect.
Oh oh oh!! These are so pretty!!!! I love dyed paper!!! BUT WHY have i never thought about how coffee & tea is acidic?? Yikes!!!! Thank you for this video!!
Hi😄lol
I didn't think about it either
@@beanerb822 hi hi hi! I see we are fans of the same amazing women!! hahahahahah
Why does that acidity matter?
@@Mary-em5yi Because over time, acidity will eat through whatever material it is - which is why a lot of "archival" things also say "acid free" - like photo paper, inks, materials, etc.
Oh my gosh that was just too funny. You just put the plastic runner over the papers and said you will NOT touch them at all until they are totally dry and then....pat pat pat , you touched them hahahahaha. It just made me giggle a bit. 😁
I've watched several other vids on how to do this----
Natasha, your's is the best, by far! Makes total sense, and nothing is wasted!! This will be my method from now on----
Thank you for sharing all your talent w/ us!!
Thank you so much !
YES! I would like to see the onion dye, avocado dye and whatever else! I understand the egg color dye. One time I used "old" but not moldy, raspberries and it came out so pretty! Just mashed them up. I had given no thought to the acidity in tea, so THANK you for that tip. Thank you!😀😁
Thank you so much Eileen. Ohh mashing raspberries, never would have thought of that!
I’d love to see any paper dying video you’d be willing to make! Love to see all the colors!
“Not gonna be touching at all until its completely dry” - and goes in right away slaping them papers to the plastic doilies 🤣🤣🤣 I laugh so good watching your videos, you are so much fun to watch😍🥰❤️and also I learn so much from you, thank you🙏🏼❤️❤️
Love love love your work
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I've also used the liquid from pickled beets for a pretty pink and I sometimes add a little balsamic vinegar to my tea or onion mix for a darker effect.
I'll have to try that, thank you :)
Thnx indeed! I’ll try that too 😃🇳🇱💖
Fantastic idea Vera...👍
Doesn't the Vinegar make the solution overly acidic?
I haven't had any problem with doing that; I just use about a tablespoon to a quart and a half of my mix.
My favorite was using the plastic tablecloth. And as others have mentioned, dying using onion skins and one using avocado dying. 🙂
thank you so much for this video....
I use: coffee, black tea, green tea... and agree, time give different shade...
other what use for experiment is: ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, ground smoked paprika, balsamic vinegar, vanilla essence.... cocoa powder........all of them mixed with hot water.... all give me more or less colors.......same with smell like balsamic or vanilla or cinnamon= love it so delicate......paprika or turmeric very interesting raw smell and pale color.... cocoa give dark brown color much darker like even strong coffee and smell like chocolate, I love this smell......... not satisfaction for me with avocado, but my be use wrong color of skin, have green, probably better is use dark, purpule skin, I do................... great success with water after cook red beetroots, amazing dark red color.........and depends on time have from "burgundy" to pale pink paper........ I LOVE THIS COLOR from beetroots.........................now I collect onion skin and think about red cabbage.....and I'm stack how make any kind of greenish??? ..........
hugs, Ursa from Cape Town, RSA........
Oh wow, you have tried many methods!! I am trying paprika next!
I love them all. gorgeous!
This was a great video and I learned a lot and can't wait to try it! Thank you for being so generous with your time and talent. I would love to see a video on making the colored papers. 😘
Love the ones with the tablecloth in print!
Great video. Always interesting to see your process!
Great process video, Natasha! TFS the inspiration!
Great tutorial on how to dye your papers; TFS!
I love the idea of using the coloring pages, those are very neat looking dyed. The onion color and the avocado dye are also my favorites. I would love to see how you do the onion skin dye. Thank you for sharing. I use coffee a lot to dye paper, but I didn't know about the baking soda to alkaline it. That is great to know. You can also use distress ink colors to make many colors of dyed papers. So much fun to do.
So interesting! Thanks for sharing! WOW!!!
Love these! Thanks so much for sharing!
That was super helpful! I'm using some tea/coffe dyed papers in my bullet journal so I've been looking for tips and ideas. This video has given a lot of insight and inspiration. Thanks so much!
Your papers are gorgeous, I have never dyed paper before but I am tempted! I love the blotchy ones and the ones dried on the plastic table runner but, they all would be lovely to have! I not sure I have the patience, it would be amazing to have a greenhouse to lay them all out in! Thanks for an inspiring video!💕🇨🇦
Astounding - thank you!!!
Beautiful techniques.
I love it! I will love to see your tutorial about dyed papers with avocado or else too! You are a good teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤️🦋🌻🇨🇦
Natasa Thank you for this video! Haven't tried the tea dyeing yet, have done the food coloring, did a video over a year ago on it. Love mixing the colors to come up with new ones. Always enjoy watching you!
Great video, love how you do it.
Thank you. The papers are wonderful.
Beautiful papers and hues. I would like to see the onion skin process. Tfs🌷
Great information, Natasa, thank you. Yes, please do a follow up with the vegetable dyed papers.🌸
Love the lavender!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Thank you Natasha this is so good to learn I literally put the paper in and took it out after a few minutes as I thought it would fall apart 😂😂😂 I would love to see a video on other dyeing methods I love all your fabulous tutorials and creative makes 😍
I love the look of tea or coffee dyed papers and have watched several videos on how it's done, but my biggest drawback is that I don't have my own craft space to work in, otherwise I'd jump at the chance. Thanks for sharing your talent, time and inspirations. I really appreciate the way you teach. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Do it in the kitchen!
Wonderful tips, thank you 😊
Love them, thank u Natasa! ❤
Just found you, & love everything I've watched. I've been wanting to start making journals for my family as gifts. I would love to see your onion dying process.
Thank you so much Diane. Here is the onion dying process video: czcams.com/video/ttRVgeyc2QM/video.html
So cool! I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of that with us. Ì have never dyed paper this way. I have sprayed on color with ink and water but I haven't tried coffee or tea because I don't have much space. But you have given me a lot to think about. Would love to see the onion skins... and maybe the different colors too.
Wow. You are insanely creative! Thank you for sharing!
VERY informative! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️ I don’t have time to iron things that should be ironed, either, Natasa! So no ironing paper in my house as well. Thanks for sharing your method. I’d love to see you dye with onion skins and food coloring. 😃
I love the grundgy look. Love the big splotches.
What is ironing paper? Lol, I don’t even own an ironing board and only use my iron for craft! 😀
Please also make a video on how to stain paper with union skins!
I would love to see more tutorials on this, thank you!
Love love love this video!! I learned so much! Thank you for sharing!
This video is great Natasha, thanks for explaining the acidity factor, I didn’t know that. And I didn’t know I can leave the papers in the dye overnight.
I would love to see how you use avocado to achieve the pink color. I tried with berry fruit tea but the papers were turning blue as they dried.
I would love to get some blue pages. *adds berry tea to shopping list.
Thank you so much Dragana :) Oohhh blue paper from berry fruit tea! That sounds awesome :)
Can you tell us what brand of berry fruit tea you used and THANKS for the heads up on that one!
@@heymudda1 I used Teekanne forest fruits ( mixture of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries) Tea is dark red but the paper turns purplish blue. Another time, I used dried Aronia fruit(chokeberries), boiled them for a while to extract color. Paper turned grayish blue that time.
Yeah!!! I've been hoping you'd do a video on this! Thank you!
Natasha thank you so much! You are such an inspiration!
great papers. I dye several times in the summer using eco style and regular teas and food color dyes in sprayer bottles. Simply love the process.
The “neutral” “acidic” and “alcaline” really confused me, could you explain more about the importance of it? Thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I explained everything in the video, but here goes again. Ph level measures alkalinity versus acidity. Water is neutral. Bleach is highly alkaline, coffee is acid. Paper is also already slightly acid. When you add tea or coffee to paper, you make it very acid. Acidity eats through any writing on the page and especially if you place photograps into a journal that has very acidic paper. It takes years for this to happen, and for the writing and photographs to fade, hence why people don't worry about it too much. That is also why a lot of scrapbooking products and paper state "archival" paper, meaning its not acid, it will not fade your photographs. So, adding soda bicarb, which is alkaline, it neutralizes the acid and brings the solution to neutral. I hope this helps
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation, I understand now that it’s all about preventing the paper, photos, etc to become yellowish over time. Best regards from Canada :)
Firts time I've heard about this too, thank u for such a learning vid
@@TreasureBooks WOW! I did not know this. Thanks for sharing your dye methods and educating us on what "archival" means. I'm working on a family tree book and I want it to last, so it's going to be archival papers for all vital documents going forward for me!
I learned so much from this video! Thank you for taking the time to film it! I will be looking for the rest of your paper dye series!
You never disappoint Natasha!! Thx so much! 💜
I’ve never left mine for hours. Need to do that next time I dye. Like the coffee sprinkles idea.
Amazing tutorial thank you!!
