I just got a pack of 6 vinyl placemats from EBay. I only needed one placemat, but now I can share some. i can't wait to try your method for coffee dying. It sounds so much easier than some methods I've seen on videos. Thank you!
I won't do it any other way. I have seen some people stack it up, that would scare me with mold. I hope you have a great time creating. And yep, share four of those but keep two for yourself. Have fun!
Thank you very much. I tried to be very detailed in this one. I know a lot of people have started using my technique. Too bad they don't give me credit
GREAT GOOGA-MOOGA, these papers are absolutely gorgeous! I am going to make a few as soon as I get the vinyl lace pieces. Actually, I have a few coffee-stained papers on my table right now drying, but I didn't do the lacey thing 'cause I don't have them -- yet, but you can best believe I will. I would have never thought this could be achieved in this manner, but seeing is believing. Thank you so much, Elaine. You have truly inspired me to get busy in yet another crafty way. Take care! 😊 P.S. I'm newly subscribed, so I'm looking forward to seeing your other creations.
That was excellent. I thank you. I make the job vastly more complicated than it obviously needs to be. I also do stencils on my papers. I have some beautiful birds, butterflies and flowers.
Let me see I just subscribed to you you won me over with the paper lace! I love your style I love how you do your tutorial for it! I'm new at Jump turning and these will make awesome pages! Just got to look around for me some plastic tablecloths LOL! I love your work sweetie and I am so impressed! Much love coming your way from indiana!
Elaine, thanks for the show and tell on your coffee dyed papers. I know you are enjoying all the retreats. Hopefull I will make it to one of them soon. Take care! CB
LOL just walk away, and dont look! Luv it! Beautiful designs! I normally do mine outside on a few long tables and have assembly style. But 18 sheets over night is awesome! Have a very creative week and Merry Christmas!
If my husband goes on a fishing trip I do it inside on my kitchen table and my countertops I get a whole lot more done. I sort of like doing it inside because I don't have to worry about a gust of wind or the dogs
Oh my word I was going to save this to watch after work, but once I peeked I couldn't look away!!! LOL!!! Very nice work! Thank you for this! I have never made coffee paper so I am learning. This is lovely!!!!
I am so excited to try this tomorrow!!! Wonderful instructions and since I have all the supplies but have never tried it, I am so thrilled I found your channel. Would you like to know how I do?? Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
Omgosh Elaine, these are so good! I wish I could find the plastic iones here in Jersey. I can't find any I only have one and it's because someone gifted it to me. I definitely would buy any you find. Also I would purchase some of your papers, so, pretty. Merry Christmas!
I have a few pieces of vinyl that I cut up from tablecloths if you were interested in them. You can let me know after Christmas and we will work something out. You just have to always be on the lookout. Many I have also purchased brand new. But I don't need a whole tablecloth and that's why I cut them up to share. It helps me and it helps others with costs. Merry Christmas
Wow! I'm glad I found your video! Best lace coffe stained paper video I've seen. May a ask. Is your tabelcloth made of plastic/pvc? Now I have to look for lace tabelcloth. Sorry for my bad english. I live in Sweden. Thank you for sharing your process. 😊👍❤🙏
Thank you so much for a great tutorial! I have never coffee dyed any paper but I think I have at least a clue now! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
It's really not that hard, you just really need to pay attention that your coffee or tea goes into every nook and cranny. And Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Are the lace tablecloths and placemats that you use plastic? Can you use fabric lace instead of plastic? BTW those papers are to die for! Thanks for this great tutorial.
Have you tried this with tea? I normally tea-dye my papers & I love the look. But I'm thinking I may have to hunt down a vinyl placemat somewhere ... hugs from Ireland.
You can buy brand new ones online. I have done that many times. If I don't want all of them I share them with friends. And that way I get some of my money back too. Just keep looking. If you lived close to me I would be glad to share.
So am I have purchased brand new. Once in awhile I get lucky and find them at a thrift store. But not very often. That's why when I buy a new one I share it.
@@rechellethackray if you would look at the info that I have posted with my video you will see my email address. Send me a note and we will start there.
Yes, I have ordered online. However, you will get many placemats or too much in a tablecloth. So I sell the extra. I have been lucky to find at thrift stores from time to time and yard sales. I have some available right now, if you live close to me.
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations Hi, I live in Maine so I don’t think we are close to each other but that would have been very nice. I realized once I started looking that it was going to be hard to find a variety if any. Thanks Tricia
@@MelissasMemoryJournals I just use the cheapest instant coffee I can find and I don't measure anything and sometimes I put in the baking soda and sometimes I don't
Me: hmm that looks like an interesting tutorial …. Also Me : ho look at all those wooden stamps in the background …. They are stamps right or what are they …. Putting the video to full screen to have a better view of the stamps …. Ho yes I came here for the lace coffee dying ….. lets rewind the video 😂
I have found some online in stores. I have found it at yard sales and thrift stores I have found some on eBay. Just make sure there is not a backing on it and that the weave is open
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations lol After I asked, I thought, "Gee, just try it, silly." BUt I appreciate it. I have several plastic doilies and tablecloth I just haven't tried yet. Can't wait until this crazy week is over.
The video was awesome to watch and you are very informative, just received a large vinyl tablecloth and definitely want to try your technique. Thanks again
Best coffee lace tutorial Ive seen! Thank you so much❤️
Thank you for your kind words.
Hands down the BEST video on how to achieve these amazing patterned papers‼️
Baking powder acts as a mordant to permeate and fix the dye as well as reducing acidity. Like vinegar when dying eggs.
Great instructions.
This was so helpful! I have coffee-dyed paper before, but never with patterns like this; now I feel confident to try it! Thank you soooo much!!
This is beautiful. I've never seen this done before.

Best tutorial for dying ever! :) How much baking soda to coffee? Thx!🧡from Terry Y in Texas
I don't measure anything. I Just Go With It! Thank you for your kind words.
These are stunning ❤
Thank you very much. I am actually going to demonstrate how I do that in person at my retreat next week.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I am going to be on the lookout for vinyl placemats and table cloths.
Thank you so much. 💓 🙏 👌 🔥 💯 😂😂😂
Thank u for a lovely video🎉
Cool! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I like your style of paper dieing the best. Makes better sense.😊
thankyou for sharing, Ill be collecting vinyl placemats now and have a go. Good fun
TFS
I definitely will be buying !
I am so excited to try this tomorrow!!! Wonderful instructions and since I have all the supplies but have never tried it, I am so thrilled I found your channel. Would you like to know how I do?? Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
Yes, please let me know.
Thank you for an awesome tutorial video. As soon as I can find some vinyl lace I’m gonna try it. 🌸💕🌸
Just make sure that your vinyl does not have a backing on it. It needs to be an open pattern
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations thank you, I’ll just use what I get from you 🌸
I’m new on your channel. It looks easy enough to try. They are pretty.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you, something is been wondering how it was done.
Mystery solved! LOL
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations yes, thank you so very much

Best demo ever. Thank you. Do you use fabric table cloths also?
No vinyl tableclothes.

It is listed as plastic and sometimes it is listed as vinyl
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations Thank you for your answer! 😊
Just be sure that if you order online that it does not have a backing on it. You want the lace designed to be open
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations Thank you! Yes it must be open to get the patern on the paper. 😊👍
Excellent tutorial.
Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thanks.
Thank you!

Boy, these are just gorgeous! Where do you find these plastic place mats etc.? I’ve never seen them before.
I am always on the look out.
Are the lace tablecloths and placemats that you use plastic? Can you use fabric lace instead of plastic?
BTW those papers are to die for! Thanks for this great tutorial.
Yes, plastic and vinyl. Fabric lace has never worked for me.
Have you tried this with tea? I normally tea-dye my papers & I love the look. But I'm thinking I may have to hunt down a vinyl placemat somewhere ... hugs from Ireland.
Yes I have it's just a little lighter in color but just as beautiful
That's quicker and simple.
I have looked everywhere for plastic place matts. I can't find any!!! Yikes. LOL
You can buy brand new ones online. I have done that many times. If I don't want all of them I share them with friends. And that way I get some of my money back too. Just keep looking. If you lived close to me I would be glad to share.
Hello, this is fascinating! For the table cloths/placemats/doilies, are they all vinyl or are any of the cotton? Thank you!
All vinyl. I think if they were some kind of fabric, the fabric would absorb the coffee or tea. And you want that to stay on the paper
Love your presentation! Where did you find the plastic table covers?
So am I have purchased brand new. Once in awhile I get lucky and find them at a thrift store. But not very often. That's why when I buy a new one I share it.
I'm from Australia and would love to buy some coffee died lace effect paper from you. Could you please tell me how to go about this?
@@rechellethackray if you would look at the info that I have posted with my video you will see my email address. Send me a note and we will start there.
Do you wash the table cloth and placemats before using them again? You were saying the vinyl tablecloth gets sticky
I might wipe down the placemats from time to time. And I will put the tablecloth in the washing machine when I can't stand it anymore
Fantastic video. Have you used fabric or stencils, if so any tips?
I do not believe fabric would work because it would absorb. I have thought about trying to use stencils, I just haven't had the time to do that.
Really lovely patterns. This will seem like a stupid question, but what will you use them for. Is it for collage painting?
Sure, use them in collage. But most folks use them as pages in their junk/creative journals.
@elaine.larkinlanecreations 👍
I have no idea where to get the lacy plastic. I went to town yesterday and looked everywhere. Did you order any online? I just love this idea.
Yes, I have ordered online. However, you will get many placemats or too much in a tablecloth. So I sell the extra. I have been lucky to find at thrift stores from time to time and yard sales. I have some available right now, if you live close to me.

How do you mix your coffee? You mentioned baking soda??
@@MelissasMemoryJournals I just use the cheapest instant coffee I can find and I don't measure anything and sometimes I put in the baking soda and sometimes I don't
Have you tried tea to do this???? I'd like to try it minus coffee(can't stand smell of coffee)!
I used to use tea but I could never get it dark enough to my liking. Plus instant coffee was just so easy to use. But yes I believe he should work
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations ok, thx!
Can this be done with real lace or must they be vinyl?
@@colleenhalverson4108 I have never done it with real lace to me that would be absorbent and would defeat the purpose
Me: hmm that looks like an interesting tutorial …. Also Me : ho look at all those wooden stamps in the background …. They are stamps right or what are they …. Putting the video to full screen to have a better view of the stamps …. Ho yes I came here for the lace coffee dying ….. lets rewind the video 😂
Lol
Same about the Stamps... like WOW! 😍
Where do you find the lace place mats that are vinyl like that
I have found some online in stores. I have found it at yard sales and thrift stores I have found some on eBay. Just make sure there is not a backing on it and that the weave is open
Can you use cloth lace and get the same results?
I have tried and did not have any luck doing that.
Does it have to be instant coffee?
You could use tea or leftover brewed coffee. Instant is easy.
Do you dye the paper before you do the lace dye?
I show the entire process in the video
Do you use actual crocheted laces too?
I tried it once. It did not work out for me. So I just stick with the vinyl. I don't think the crochet material is flat enough.
@@elaine.larkinlanecreations lol After I asked, I thought, "Gee, just try it, silly." BUt I appreciate it. I have several plastic doilies and tablecloth I just haven't tried yet. Can't wait until this crazy week is over.
The video was awesome to watch and you are very informative, just received a large vinyl tablecloth and definitely want to try your technique. Thanks again
Thank you. Have fun!
