I hope you enjoy this video! If you are new to my channel, I hope you'll consider subscribing to my channel...until next time...have a FABULOUS DAY!!
Why or why do we LOVE that crinkly sound so much! Such a lovely sound!
I don't know why Robin, but we do love the sound of crinkly papers!!!
Don’t we just love that sound!
We do indeed Julie!!!😁
Ohhhh I love that sound!!!!🥰
Right????
💕💕💕 Love ❤ this. Anyway to make coffee dying easier is a big+++. So thank you.😊😊😊
Thank you !!
Love the spray bottle method !
Thanks for sharing your method!
Ronda you cracked me up with that glassine bag love fest!😁
Lol!!! 🤣😂😊
Love the red sprayed paper!
Thank you friend!! :)
Love the look of your freezer paper. I would use that for a cover!
Thank you Judi! I thought about it, but because it's on the shiny waterproof side, the colors come right off. I sprayed it with water and dyed a few more papers. LOL!
Exactly what I was thinking!!
Love that grungy
Thank you Sherry!
I wish I would have remembered this video today before I spent 2 hours in the kitchen drying papers in the oven. Next time for sure! 🐦
Oh no! Next time...hugs!!
I really like your method. I was ooing and awing over the patterns created on your freezer paper background. Those would look nice in a journal too.
Andrea, I know...right??? This method has changed me dreading "coffee dying day" into...ok...how many can I get done now and looking around for more to dye! LOL!
I wouldn't call it a "Lazy Way to Coffee Dye Papers". Say "Smart, Easy and Faster Way to Coffee Dye Papers". So clever. I didn't want to use my oven to dry the papers either and letting them sit to dry or hang to dry takes space which I don't have. And your spritzer bottles you can use diluted food coloring, or different green teas, or whatever else to dye with. Very clever Ronda. Thank you for the information. Going to start right away!!
This will change how you think about dying papers for sure! It's freed me up to actually ENJOY the process...LOL! Merry Christmas one day late...
Thank you for this. I love the crinkle too! I like how easy this is! And no going to the kitchen. I was impressed with how fast the heat gun dries the paper.
It sure makes easy work out of what for me was a chore before!
You do it pretty much the same way I do only I use a wooden cutting board and paper towel for clean up. Walmart also has the nonspray containers that allow you to just dump your dying product right onto several sheets at once. Btw I use just a regular hair dryer on low cool to dr them quickly. Next I'm trying food coloring n water!😊
These are great, Ronda-----
I especially like the glasine bags---wow!
Thank you! I know, right??? The glassine bags are awesome!!! Happy creating!
Quick and easy. Love that I can keep my dyeing in my studio all by myself, LOL. TYFS and good luck with your Etsy store. Donna, in California.
Thank you Donna!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING....I LOVED THE PAPER YOU HAD DOWN TO WORK ON, I COULD SEE LOTS OF DELICIOUS THINGS ON THAT....MAYBE YOU COULDNT
REPEAT THAT...WAS LOVELY....LIKED THE SHINE YOU GOT ON YOUR BAGS......CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
Thank you Camille...
I think your butcher paper looks lovely too!
Thank you Connie!
Great ideas. I've just recently learned how to put the papers into my junk journal covers.
I will have to use your method in my journals
I've got six covers ready for signatures right now. Two of them are for my great grandsons using boxes from toys that they love. Have to go get the papers and things like coloring books ECT to fill them up. They are for birthday gifts.
Thank you June! It sounds like you've been busy making gifts of "Love"!! Happy creating...
I don't know anyone who enjoys crinkly paper more than you. Great, informative video!
LOL Gayle!! Yes, I do love crinkly papers!! I'm not sure if it's a curse or a blessing...thanks for watching!
Awesome :)
No more Oven!
Thank you for this inspirational turotial, very pretty stuff you made
It has truly been such a blessing and I hope it will be for you as well!
That’s a great way to do it. One minute drying time is not bad. Tfs. Congrats on the Etsy store! Hugs & blessings, Lenneke
Thank you Lenneke! I'm all about making paper dying easier...psssttt...don't tell anyone, but it's one of my least favorite things to do...
Looks good. I spray mine usually too. But have a "paper dye station" in my sunroom. (That's sad!!) Junk journal crafters go to all lengths. But are the friendlyiest group of people I've ever known!!
I have a shelf thing in there I dry my papers on. The heat gun could really help if you need paper dried faster. Without standing in kitchen for an hour.
Nice video!!! I've never seen your videos before. I will Like & Subscribe.
Thanks for sharing,

Welcome to my channel Barbara! I'm so happy you're joining me...I hope you will find lots of fun videos by looking at my playlists and video titles...happy paper dying...the easy way...lol!
@@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH Thank you for the warm welcome!
Wonderful ideas with your method. I just love this. Thank you and keep on creating!
I appreciate you watching Josie!!
Was happy to see this video because I have been doing this ‘lazy way’ to stain my papers for a couple of years. The only difference for me has been in using my microwave instead of a heat tool. I have used all types of papers and color of dye sprays. When using the microwave (it’s a low-watt, small one I have in my studio), I put 1-2 papers in at a time. Parchment and other heavy paper I put in at 1 minute one side, turn over and 1 minute more. If still wet I will do 30 sec or less at a time. Be careful and time this process because it can scorch. Thinner and more delicate papers I start with 30 second intervals. You’ll have to experiment a little to learn the timing of each paper you use. But, using the microwave is even easier than using a heat tool. The prep that Ronda has used here is the same as I use: coffee or tea already made, a spray bottle and protected surface. I microwave 1-2 8 1/2” x 11” parchment papers at a time. I do microwave smaller bits, but I can get two papers done in short time. I do about 6- 10 pages in each dying session. It goes so fast and easy that I can do a batch every day, if I want too! Okay, well, Rhonda, thank you for the video. I wondered why more crafters didn’t share this ‘cooking’ method (even in using the heat gun). Happy to see your tip for paper staining!
Some of us just must be late-comers to the party GJ! LOL! My studio isn't large enough to accommodate using a microwave...and it takes less than a minute to finish both sides of my papers with the heat gun, so I'm satisfied. Thanks for sharing your way of drying your papers...sounds like you've got a system that works really well for you!! I appreciate your comments and wish you a great day with creating lovely things in your studio! :)
What a great idea !!! I always dye papers in kitchen, now I can do in studio and work at 2 things at once! Your ' re amazing :))))))) thanks.
So glad it will work for you Simonne! I usually wait until I have virtually NO dyed papers left before I can bring myself to go downstairs into the kitchen and bake papers! This sure has helped me!
Love the CRINKLE too😃
I know...right?? Lol!
Easy method. Like it! TFS the inspiration!
Thank you Gail!!

You’re welcome Sara ! 😊 I've always wanted to visit Australia...hope you've recovered from the fires...hugs!!
Interesting l🥰
Thank you Jacquie!!
Love this idea, going to try it, as I find coffee or tea dying papers is always a long process. TFS! New subbie here!
Welcome, welcome!! I hope you love the method as much as I do...it has made dying papers fun, rather than a chore!
Congratulation on your store opening!
Thank you Sandra! It's been on the back burner for almost a year, so I thought it was about time! LOL!
I too have spray dyed my papers but did not get that lovely mottling effect. I think that may be due to the freezer paper. Will have to give that a try. Thanks for the crinkle crinkle effects - it’s a beautiful sound!
Yea for we "spray dyers"!! LOL! The crinkle sound is the BEST EVER!!! Have a terrific day Sharon!
Beautiful! Tfs
I hope this gives you some great ideas!!
Wow! Wonder about food color now!
The sky's the limit Franci!!!
Thanks Ronda I love the look of your technique.. They all turned out great. Its finally Sunny here in Calif. I might have to do this today spread out on my porch. Have a Crafty Day~ Roxanne
It's raining where I am...thank you for the compliment!!
Pixie Bee's and Me roxanne roxanne all she wanna do it party all night
Holy cow I love your papers !!! L0L. And the way you dye them !! I’m going to have to steal your idea. I hope you don’t mind 😃
Of course I don't mind! So happy you like my way...have a terrific day!!
Thank you😃. You too !!!
❤
Thank you!
GREAT IDEA Ronda! Did u print that on a Laser jet, I noticed the lines didnt wash out. And I love Glassine too!
Yes, Jeri I did...thanks for watching friend!!
Wear a dust mask when spraying coffee. Inhaling coffee droplets can make you sick and overdose you on caffeine. I dry coffee paper on our glass topped patio tables. They dry fast even in winter. No oven or hair dryer needed at all!
Thank you for the great tip!!
I thought the heat gun would melt the p[lastic on the freezer paper...guess I was wrong. Definitely going to give this a try!
I hope you have success with this method...it's been a life saver for me...hugs!!
I have used food colors, that makes a good Stan,,all colors.
Sounds great!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have avoided making coffee stained paper because of the complexity and oven and mess. This is what I have wondered about. Do you think it could be air dried instead?
Absolutely!! Sun dry, air dry, heat dry...whatever method you choose will work great!!
thank you
Very good! can you please put in the link of the punch you use for the edges? thanks 😊
If you're asking about the corner edging on my cards and such, that's a punch I bought in Michael's or Joann's...can't remember which as it's been several years ago. Hugs!!
Thank youuu!!! 😀
Thank you Ronda, great tutorial! I have an important question though. Is your printer a laser or inkjet printer? I have an inkjet and I know that dyeing paper already printed with an laser printer won't make the 'ink' run, but will it make inkjet run and smear? If I dye the paper first and iron it, do you have any idea if the paper will still go thru a printer to be printed on AFTER it's dyed and dried and ironed?
I do have an Inkjet printer...for my printing, I usually print and then dye and I like the messier look, but I'm really just usually printing lines for writing so fading on them just adds to the charm. I have sometimes done as you are suggesting, but it can be tricky. You have to feed the paper in really carefully as it's a bit wavy even with ironing, but if you're careful it should work. Good luck!!
@@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH Thank you Ronda without the h :) I thought it would smear much worse than what you're getting so I will keep that in mind for things that could use the charm. I'll experiment with ironing tho I had hoped to leave all ironing behind when I retired, LOL. Thanks again, hon!
LOL! I grew up ironing sheets and pillow cases, shirts, skirts, etc. Mom had an ironrite for the sheets and we had two HUGE (to my young eyes) drawers full of laundry needing to be ironed! Ironing paper is fun girlfriend!!
Hi can you say what the pink colour is please
I bought easter egg dyes a couple of years ago, and it's from those. I'm sorry I can't give your better information.
@@RondaWinsteadRondawithoutanH Hi that's ok so it's food dye perfect 😀
Just coffee? Do we need to add vinegar?
I don't...I do add rubbing alcohol to mine which makes it dry faster...about 1/3 water to 2/3 alcohol...to anticipate your question...have a great day!!
Did you add vinegar to the egg dyes?
Judi Gullett-BitsysBaubles X - that's a great question. I just assumed the vinegar was for the eggs..can't wait to see her reply to you.
I originally learned about the easter egg dyes from Rosemary Frias...here is her TH-cam Channel where she discusses them and where she purchased them...the upshot is...if the dye call for vinegar, add it...I used a small amount of boiling water to mix the dyes up and then added rubbing alcohol, as it dries faster than water. th-cam.com/video/GB1AVDhYzMU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info Ronda!
Actual method starts at approx 6.00 mins
I love chatting with my friends...
Thanks 🙂
