Thank you for watching. There is an updated follow up video for those after more and concise tips.... th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html Please note this video tutorial is an in-depth presentation. Time stamps are provided, please see above in the show notes. Additional points to mention for clarification: I use metric cups of water, so you may need to google for the conversation equivalency in your region. I am not sure if this is helpful nor how accurate this is but 1 metric cup is 237ml but this may vary. I suggest a cup that you use for measuring your cooking recipes and stick with that regardless of what country you reside in.
Great video. Please ignore the negative comments. You spent alot of your valuable time giving us an in depth view. Everyone should know how to fast forward to where they want to be.
Hi Patty, what a darling you are! Thank you so much for your heart-warming support it means so much. I appreciate you! Many blessings for your kindness.
You keep talking I learn that way 😊 those people who complain of too much talking should just move on and stop posting negative things we in the real crafting world really appreciate each other 😊 tfs ❤️ Alison new subbie
Hi Alison, thank you so much for your beautiful support and for becoming a subbie, it is so great to have you join. Thank you. I really appreciate your kindness. Wishing you a fabulous day.
Ignore the negative nellies. They can’t be happy unless they’re putting someone else down. Loved the video and how you took the time to explain the process. 💕🥰💕 Hugs
Hi there gorgeous Mitzie. Hope you are well. Apologises for my slow reply. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments of support and looking out for me. It means a lot to have you in my corner. I really appreciate your kindness and positive spirit. You are a gem! Huge hugs of appreciation and best wishes for you always.
Thank you! For those who find the video too long are probably those who do things their own way... For those who are learning, and want to see the full process, this is excellent. I started with using your process, for coffee dying, and continue to use. I appreciate you sharing what stencils you use, how you store them, etc... very thorough, and much appreciated!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for your sweet support. I appreciate your kindness. Huge apologise for my slow response. Sending tons of best wishes your way.
Thanks for a very informative video! Just to share a couple of ideas: I sometimes place the border stencils (tall and slim stencils) to the right or left of the pages to get a ' blank but colored' center writing area... I have also used this method to dye pages in other colors using diluted food dyes ( like easter egg dyes) - worked well, gote clear but soft colors. And, adding a dash of mica powder can also make some pretty softly blingy pabes... 😊
Hi dear Miranda. Hope you are well. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments and support and also looking out for me, when it comes to those who leave unhelpful comments. It means a lot to have you in my corner. Thank you so much. I always appreciate your feedback and tips. Have you ever thought of starting your own YT channel. I am sure you would have so much to teach us. Thanks again for always cheering me on and sharing your thoughts. Huge hugs of appreciation and best wishes.
Hello sweet friend, what a great surprise and it made my day. It’s been awhile. So happy to see you and share this time together. Be sure to watch my latest journal using one of my favorite digital of yours. It’s gorgeous and filled with lace. Hugs
Hello gorgeous Char, wow, thanks so much for being here and cheering me on. Your support means so much. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones. Thank you for letting me know about your latest journal, sounds wonderful. Thank you dearest. I am so looking forward to watching it and the magical things you created. Huge hugs coming your way. PS. Once I get to watch your DTP, shall chat with you over at Etsy.
Beautiful papers!! People might not think about plastic placemats for the kitchen table. Before I finally found all of my plastic table cloths, I found gorgeous placemats. They’re usually out at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have a LOT of gold, red and white ones. Some are large round ones and others are rectangular shaped. I love my place mats and use them all the time when dying papers. ❤❤
Thank you so much Amber. I am so happy you are nicely set up with plastic table cloths and pretty plastic placements, I am sure you have the most beautiful results. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
Hi Jarf - you are so sweet ! Loved your intro ! so happy to see you today. Even more excited about this video. I could have watched this video for hours. I so enjoy how you go through each “chapter “ if you will - even the serving trays were so helpful. I do have so many of these larger stencils I love them . I’ve used them when I do my gold water color dying . However , one at a time ! A true labor of love . This is amazing !! I love how every piece is so unique. No 2 are exactly alike . Thank you , so very much for your time in creating this video. Wonderful visiting with you. I’m happy that I’ve not yet printed my latest kit of yours yet. These will make lovely additions to my journal. Thank you for the bonus video xx Enjoy your weekend happy crafting xx

Hello Jarf, beautiful coffee/tea stained patterned papers. So nice to see your smiling face. I pray that you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your time to show your inspirations. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Oh Amy, hi gorgeous! Such a huge honour to have you here. You have made my day!! Thank you sooo much!! Hope you and your darling loved ones are well. I have been meaning to message you in Etsy Convo to see how you are doing and catch up. I will do my best to be in touch soon. Thanks again for your kind comments. It means so much. Huge hugs with tons of well wishes. Xx
How happy am I to have come across a video by you. I have never forgotten you lovely lady. I love the idea of this video, after all these years I am still too frightened to try and coffee dye. I think I might give it a try now as I have a huge selection of stencils, especially since I found Temu!!!. Hope life is treating you well and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Rose.
I to have wanted to try this method for so long, She’s made it look so easy. also you mentioned Temu. 🙌🏼 ❤ lol not heading over to the site to buy stencils now. 😂 can’t wait for that rabbit hole, wonder where I’ll end up. Stencils, Stencils, Stencils, Stencils. 😭
Hi there lovely Rose, so great to hear from you and have you join me here. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so excited you are going to give this a go, with your huge selection of stencils. Yay! You are going to have the best time. Best wishes with hugs.
Amazing tutorial - I learned so much and you're calming nature is easy on the soul- thank you much for such clear, well thought out , directions.. incredible !
Thank you so much for your most beautiful comments. I am so happy this was helpful. I appreciate your kindness and support so much. Best wishes with gratitude.
Too funny, I just put out a video of me coffee and avocado dying paper sharing how much I would LOVE to find some one that could teach me how to do all those wonderful designs and two days later, here you are! Yeah!!!! By the way, I purchased your two latest kits. So beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing! God bless you!
Oh wow, how amazing is that! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I am so thrilled that this fits what you were looking for. I hope you have the best time with this method. Thank you so much for your support and sweet words regarding my kits, you are most kind. Best wishes in all your endeavours.
Such a helpful and lovely way to coffee dye papers. Thank you so much for sharing this tip with us. Hugs to you Jarf. Also, thank you so much for adding the link to my coffee dying papers. I'm amazed that that is my most watched video of all time.
Hi gorgeous Juanette, what a pleasure to have your beautiful company. Thank you so much for your sweet support and kind words. Yes, I had to mention you....my upload for this video took so long, i opened up another window and scrolled through your tutorials and was thrilled to find and watch your coffee dying papers. It is brilliant and worth every view and so I had to share your talent with my dear subbies and viewers. You deserve the praise. Thanks again!! Huge hugs to you dear Juanette and of course Miss Fiona. Xx

This is the exact information I’ve been searching for. Thank you so much for your knowledge and tips. I’ve been wanting to create my own papers and you go into the depth I needed. Ignore the negative. You are so kind. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Debbie, thank you so much for your lovely comments and kind words. Regarding your question, the papers remain in the tray and they dry in the tray. It is true that drying time is slow this way, but in summer the tray can be left outside and brought in at night and in winter, safely place the tray in directional heat and as the top layers dry, they pull away from the rest of the papers in the tray, you peel those pieces off and stack those dry pieces on your craft table, and the same will happen to the next layers. So continue to follow that process until the air drying process is completed. Hope that helps. Thanks again for watching and for being so supportive. Best wishes.
Thank you for all the information and your video to showing how you achieved these gorgeous dyed results. There are so many ways to dye papers that I like to watch different videos to see their special tips and take from them what I find useful or what method I might want to give a try with. Your process looks like I could get good results with so I’m hoping to give it a try. I really like your mix of the coffee and tea together because I don’t like the deep brown from coffee but the tea can’t come out quite yellow. I’ve been thinking of mixing them too and now your video has confirmed my hunch to give that a try. I’m in the US and I’ve also seen where vinyl placemats or table runners with an open weave design can be used like the plastic lace as well. I appreciate all your explanations and video tutorial and now I have a few more tips to make my paper dyeing even more successful. Happy crafting! 😊
Lovely hearing from you Belinda. Thank you so much for sharing your own wonderful experiences and experiments and for all your kind words and support. Wishing you the very best.
Hi there Marlene from NZ. Thank you so much. Love NZ, best place on the planet. Melbourne's weather gets pretty cold. Though I can imagine if you are from the South Island, it would certainly be extremely bitingly cold. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Stay warm and enjoy your stencil dyed papers. Best wishes.
I love your digital kits, I don't know why I didn't think to look for a TH-cam channel. I so enjoyed your video. I have used stencils during coffee dying but I was underwhelmed with the results for the effort. I can't wait to have go at your method. Thank you for sharing. Xxx
Hi Carol, so lovely to have you visit my channel, (such an honour! thank you!) and for always being so heart-warmly supportive of my digital kits. I appreciate you. Thank you so much.
Hi dear Deb, so lovely to have you join me here and for your kind comments and heart-warming support. I am glad this method will prove helpful in your new living arrangements. I wish you the very best in all endeavours. Huge hugs in return. Xx
Hi Lucy, lovely to have you here. Yes, I too use this method also with plastic lace having done so for many years however since so many haven't been able to find plastic lace, it was time for an alternative. As mentioned in the video, little stencils can work well too. Take care dear Lucy.
Thanks so much for your sweet words and support. Yes, I have used lace for my coffee/tea staining but it was a while ago. Sometimes it works sometimes not, it depends on the design of the lace. Lace trims work best especially if they have defined perforation. The great thing is, you get aged vintage looking lace and coffee stained papers at the same time. Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. Best wishes with appreciation.
I don't know what's going on with your comments, because I hate extraneous chatter and you didn't do any. I'm listening to the whole thing because you're telling me things I want to know. And it's making me want to check out the rest of your channel.
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind comments and your suggestion. I appreciate your input. It is true that some people do use baking soda, but I never have. I have been coffee/tea dying papers for more than ten years now with no baking soda and it has not harmed or hurt the papers in all that time. Thanks again with best wishes.
Dear Jarf, I loved how you revealed the fruit of your labours in the beginning before going in to the process, that way we didn’t have to wait and see the beautiful results. Your small space techniques are greatly appreciated. I don’t have many stencils but I use the plastic lace method you showed us to tea dye my paper all the time, because even in winter on a sunny day I can sit the container out on the lawn and have perfect papers at the end of the day.👍🌏
Thank you so much for your most kind, darling, heart-warming comments. How fantastic that you are able to get so much done with plastic lace in a container even in winter while the sun is out. I am thrilled for you. Thank you so much for your sweet support.
Hi Joyce, thank you so much for your heart-warming appreciation. I am so glad it proved helpful for you. Wishing you happy coffee/tea dyeing index cards with stencils. Best wishes to you with many thanks for your kindness.

Hi Sharon, thank you for your kind comments and for watching. I apologise for not being very clear, but the colour blue was just watered down acrylic blue paint, just a generic brand. Thanks again.
@@kathyanstine4472 Hi Kathy, I apologise for not being very clear, but the colour blue was just watered down acrylic blue paint, just a generic brand. Thanks for watching.
Hi Cherie. Thanks for watching. Yes, i leave them in the tray but I also take off the top layers as they begin to dry and peel off. Climate and heating will determine how long this process can take. In hot dry summer outside, it can take a day or a day and a half. Inside, in winter, with good heating it can take up to two 24 hour days and a couple of hours. If you need to see the step by step drying process, I have just uploaded a follow up video with time stamps. I will paste the link here for you, if you require it.

I like to lay down some instant tea and or coffee undiluted for what i call flecks. I just bought some brusho and will also try that this weekend... for color.
Hi Monica, thank you so much for your beautiful comments and for your heart-warming appreciation. I am thrilled to hear that you are going to give Coffee/tea dyeing with stencil layering a go. I am excited for you. I am sure you will have the best time. Thanks again for making my day.
Ich ärgere mich über viele der Kommtare hier: Wenn ihr Euch an der Länge stört - warum schaut ihr das Video dann? Seid einfach froh, dass jemand sein Wissen mit Euch teilt und meckert nicht über die Form der Wissensvermittlung. Das finde ich absolut frech und respektlos. Danke für diesen Wissensschatz 👍😍
Kind greetings to you! Thank you so much with deep appreciation for your beautiful support. Your kind comments give me strength. Many blessings for your kindness.
Absolutely gorgeous! 🌹❤I can't dye for myself anymore - having CRPS & I'm also rheumatic - wont allow me to sit in my studio for more than 20 min - time has totally changed me from independent to almost needing help for everything. I miss this so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your heart-breaking situation. My heart goes out to you and your struggles. I am so sorry. Wishing you much joy despite it all. Huge hugs coming your way.
Hi there, thank you for watching. With regards your question, I really love the colours of the two combined. It is a nice rich warm colour. Coffee on its own at times has a cool tone. Tea has a warm tone but the coffee adds depth and so the two work well together. Thanks again and best wishes.
It's me again Jarf, these would make another great digital for your Etsy shop. I'd buy the other tea/coffee etc background pages if I could. I'm sure these would be best sellers also. Just a thought for you. God bless. Becky B
Hi Becky, I really appreciate your kind input and suggestions. You are so encouraging. Regarding turning the papers into digitals for my Etsy shop, i like the idea, however, I have a feeling this could encroach on the copyrights of the stencil designers. Thank you anyway dear Becky. Best wishes with hugs.
Thank you so much Linda. You are most kind. Many felt like you with wanting to see the unwrapping of the dried paper stack., so I created a follow up video with time stamps included. I will post the link at the end of this message for you. It also answers questions as to how long they take to dry. It really depends on the seasons, whether one dries them indoors or outdoors, and how many papers and how much liquid used. Thanks again for your kind support. Best wishes to you. th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
Hi, thank you so much. This is a great tutorial and very informative. i have to give this a go 😊 i am slowly but surely going through all your brilliant tutorials 😊 tfs ❤alison
You are most kind Sylvia Regina. Thank you so much for your beautiful support and comments and for sending your sunflower sunshine my way. Best wishes to you.
Bonjour! I would love to try this process, but I am sadly allergic to coffee. Even the smell is nauseating to me. Have you tried dyeing the papers using alcohol inks?
Bonjour!! Lovely to have you join in watching this video. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am sorry you are allergic to coffee. The good new is, that you do not have to use coffee at all! Use only tea and you can make a light brew or dark brew, or both. You can use the dark brew in the spray bottle and light brew in the dipping tray. You will still get great results or you can add a bit of re-inkers. The ones I like are “Coffee” by Ranger or Ranger's “Vintage Photo” to add an imitation coffee colour. But please be careful as the ink is highly saturated only add a single drop at a time, and build the colour to your preference slowly. Keep doing tests with strips of white paper to get the right colour and tone for you. Don't forget to write down the amount you put in, how many teabags, how much water and if using re-inkers how many drops. I hope that helps. Alcohol inks work in such a unique way and thus I haven't gone down that path...but maybe one day. Thanks again with best wishes.
Hi Jarf, your papers are exquisite and I love the ghosting that occurs naturally too. I am an oven paper baker from way back but interested in trying your method with the stencils. Please could you let me know where you got those trays from in Oz. I am in Oz too hence why I loved seeing an Aussie tutorial which relates to where I can get supplies from. I would use these so much. I did a search but can only find these trays in singles and around $7 to $8 au each tray. Would you kindly share where you got the pack of 10 from if you still have that info? Thank you in advance. Shar
Hi Shar, my dear fellow Aussie, so lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for your kind comments and for watching. I hope you are well. Regarding the trays, I got them from Ebay ages ago. I think they were in Melbourne or Sydney. I need to purchase from Ebay soon, when I sign in, I will try to locate the purchase and relevant info and if it is still available, I will message you either links or the name of the company here for you. Thanks again. Best wishes.
@@sharfisher1959 Hi Shar, hope you are well. Thanks for your lovely reply and for your patience with me. Sorry it took so long, only got to do my Ebay shopping the other day. Unfortunately it seems that the trays I purchased are no longer available. But I will give you the details from my purchase order, which was in July of 2021. They may have totally sold out and may restock them again, it may be worth getting in touch with them. Also you may try the title of the listing in Amazon and see if they sell these trays there. Anyway this is the info for reference. The Ebay shop is called: ozhousehome6 and the listing title was: 6/12pcs Black white Large 45 x34cm Fast Food Drinks Tray. I wish you the very best in locating either the same trays or similar ones. Please let me know how you go. Thanks again Shar. Take care. Xx
@@medievalmirage Hi Jarf. That's amazing. I think since Covid, our crafting supply world has turned upside down. When I saw them for $7 to $8 per tray? I think that would be right. I think you mentioned quite a few for $30. Maybe those days are gone. But bless you for getting the info for me. I will certainly follow that link you shared. I have been looking into other trays so if I find anything similar I will pass onto you. I watch your videos in between making my own. Time goes by so fast x
@@sharfisher1959 Thanks heaps dear Shar. You are a delight. Yes, it is so true as you say Covid has turned crafting supplies into crazy prices. I do hope you find something that fits your needs and is affordable. I wish you the very best in your search and your crafting adventures. Take care, hun. Xx
Hey Jarf so glad to see you back, love this idea and will definitely give my stencil a try, next time I coffee dye my papers 😊😊 thank you so much for taking the time to share 😊😘😘❤️🇨🇦 PS. please don’t listen to the negative comments unfortunately we can’t fix broken people 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Love you and your videos 😘😘😘 see you at your next video 😘😘
Hey darling Dana, you always cheer my heart up with the sunshine of your kindness and uplifting support. You make me smile from ear to ear. Thank you so much for looking out for me and cheering me on. You are a gem! Xx
Hi Linda, thank you for your kind visit and for watching. The stencil holder is actually a plastic a4 document folder that I picked up here in Australia at either the supermarket or office supply store. I added cardstock to each plastic shelve to separate the stencils and to make them easier to see. I hope that helps.
This is an amaaaazing video! I loved seeing your stencil collection! For the people complaining about the length of the video, they need to learn how to use the cog/gear wheel on the top right corner of the video and increase the speed of the video, and stop being so disrespectful and hateful.

Die Idee einfach Vorzuspulen ist ja nicht schlecht, aber warum musst Du so beleidigen dabei sein? Den Begriff "Gejammer" finde ich ziemlich frech und respektlos. Anstatt das Du Dich darüber freust, dass sie Dich an ihrem Wissen teilhaben lässt.
Hi, why do you add just a little bit of coffee in your dipping tray rather than the whole pot at one time? And also, what is your blue dye? Is it just watering paint? First time watching your channel and I’m addicted. Thank you for making my day.
Hi Sandy, I am touched that my video made your day. You have made mine with your kindness. Thanks so much!! Regarding your question, where i was filming this video, I didn't have much bench space, also the tray I was using wasn't very deep and as I didn't want to make a mess and get liquid everywhere, I only added a bit of the brew in the dipping tray. The blue dye I used was actually watered downed acrylic paint. Thanks again for your encouragement. It means a lot. Best wishes.
So with the stencils do you just wait 3 days for all the paper layers to dry out? Do you put them in a low oven (as I do for regular coffee dyed papers) for an hour? Coffee stain papers… layer in some stencils… What’s the NEXT few steps?!? Can you show what happens from wet stencils stacked inside papers to the dry finished products?!
This was my very first video that was sooo boring ❤❤❤. I've watched countless videos. This was also my first time seeing, your video---- O M G LADY !!!!! TRUTH BE TOLD !!!!
Hi LegoStar. Thanks for your questions. The coffee/tea dyed papers remain in the tray to dry. In summer, I take the tray outside and bring it in at night, it can take one to two days to dry this way. In winter, inside a heated room, the papers in the tray can take up to 3 days to dry. I peel off the papers that are dry at the top of tray and continue that process, until they are all dry. I never use an oven. So yes, coffee stain the papers laying stencils in between and that is it. They sit in the tray until they air dry. I will keep your suggestion in mind for next time. Thank you.
Beautiful stained paper! I use stencils too! However, I dry halfway in my oven, with very low heat, with the oven door open, and for 5 min. I remove the stencil and let the paper finish drying and it works well. I also watch over my new stencils to make sure they can tolerate the heat. I'm sorry if you explain why, but I can't finish watching, is there a reason to dip the in-between pages other than just getting ghost-like prints? Would putting say baking paper in between prevent the need for 4-5 paper if someone didn't have that many to use? Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your process, it is much appreciated. The reason for the extra papers on either side to sandwich the papers is not only to get the ghost prints repeated till they fade, but also to stop the stencil impressions from clashing into each other. I did a follow up video using your suggestion, so thank you for that, to use baking paper instead of the extra papers, and because the baking paper wrinkles intensely, this added its own patterns but also distorted or compromised the stencil impressions. I will leave the link here for you if you are curious. Thanks again for watching and for your suggestions. th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nici, gracious greetings to you. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. Apologies for my slow response. I am grateful to Chris who assisted with answering your question.

Thanks again. Here is the link... th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
Hi Sonya. Thanks for your question. I haven't decoupaged coffee-tea stained papers but I agree you would have to seal them first. I use these types of papers for junk journal signatures. Thanks for watching.
What kinds of paper have some of you used? And which do you think gave the best results? Has anyone used a sealant? ModPodge? Spray? Polycrylic? And which worked well for you?
Hi there, thanks for your question. Sorry for my slow reply. You can use any kind of papers but I find printer copy paper easy to use with great results. I am not sure what you mean by using a sealer. Do you mean after the papers are dry, to stop the stencil impression from fading or being compromised if it gets wet? I use the papers for junk journal signatures and they do not need any sealing at all. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for helping out a fellow viewer. I really appreciate your kindness. And I totally agree with your helpful comment, its exactly what I use and my feelings too.
Thank you so much for looking out for me, Patty. It is true, such comments are disheartening but it is ones like you that help mitigate and dilute them. Thanks again for your sweet support. Best wishes to you.
Hi Barbara, thank you for watching and for your question. Apologies for my slow reply. Yes, instant coffee is the one I use. I just get the most cheapest generic brand available.
I believe she said not to touch them, or rather not to even peek at them, but rather to let them be. The only way you can disturb them. She says, is to drain off excess coffee if you need.
Drying time will vary 😅 depends on your paper thickness, how much liquid is in the tray, and of course local air temperatures. If you have the patience to leave them in the tray they will get a better imprint... you can place them out in the sun (the whole tray) until they dry fully or partially ‐ your call as to the final effect you are going for... the earlier you ‐ very carefully - separate the pages, the lighter the imprint will be. You can also place the tray in an oven at very low temperature and check it back often Removing pages as they dry... This is not an exact science... ❤

@@831Miranda Hi Miranda, thank you so much for your kind assistance. I really appreciate you for helping out a fellow viewer and giving such a fine explanation. Many blessings for being so helpful.
Hi Becky, thanks for watching and for your question. It depends. Is the old cookie sheet shaped in a tray and is it in good condition, because anything that can rust will alter and effect the final outcome of coffee/tea dye results. I would recommend either a plastic or stainless steel or ceramic in the form of a tray.
These are so very beautiful 😮 Wondering, how long does it take for you to dry your layered papers in the sun, or inside? Lovely! ❤ Also, with the utmost respect to you, I think it would have been good not to have so much talking, etc, before the tutorial actually begins. It was close to an hour of you literally repeating yourself. I mean no harm or disrespect. This is just an observation that I found myself very frustrated and finally speeding up the video. It could cause many people to abort the video before getting to the meat of it. Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing this. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being very respectful. I appreciate your input because it is so constructive and I will keep your pointers in mind for next time. I have a lot to learn, so thank you. Regarding your question in the summer it can take one to two days. Inside in a heated room in winter, up to three days. Hope that answers your question. Best wishes.
Wow! Great technique! Could have been a 20 minute video, though. Really didn't know if you were ever going to get around to showing how to do the project. A hour's worth of just talking almost made me turn it off.
You are a delight but you made this video too long. The how to should be straight to the point on a separate video. And all this 50 minutes of an intro should be a tips video. Way too long to get to the point.
Maria, perhaps you don't realize that your tone comes out as complaining and insensitive in English? Many people who are new to this process DO like the detailed explanations. For you I suggest playing the video at higher speed (using the gear icon youtube offers at the upper left of the page).
@@831Miranda was this message for you? No. She posted and left comments open. Did I insult her artistic abilities? No. She’s amazing. People are allowed to comment good or bad.

It is true that drying time is slow this way, but in summer the tray can be left outside and brought in at night and in winter, safely place the tray in directional heat and as the top layers dry, they pull away from the rest of the papers in the tray, you peel those pieces off and stack those dry pieces on your craft table, and the same will happen to the next layers. So continue to follow that process until the air drying process is completed. Hope that helps. Thank you.
Thank you for letting me know. I am glad there is a fast forward button. Also you can play it at high speed if need be. Please know I am working on doing better in future. Thanks for your honesty.
That's very rude to say it that way! There are other videos that are an hour long and nobody says anything about them. If it goes long I save it and watch it later.

Thank you for watching. There is an updated follow up video for those after more and concise tips.... th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
Please note this video tutorial is an in-depth presentation. Time stamps are provided, please see above in the show notes. Additional points to mention for clarification: I use metric cups of water, so you may need to google for the conversation equivalency in your region. I am not sure if this is helpful nor how accurate this is but 1 metric cup is 237ml but this may vary. I suggest a cup that you use for measuring your cooking recipes and stick with that regardless of what country you reside in.
Thank you so much for being the voice of grace and kindness amongst the vitriol. I don’t know how you do it but it is much appreciated 💕
@@reginaeid1568 You are so kind! Thank you so much for your sweet support and heart-warming words. Best wishes to you.
46:20 the actual stenciling and technique begins for those who don’t have a long attention span.
Where is the rest of the stencil process shown?! Wet them with coffee… layer between many coffee wet sheets… bye guys thanks for watching!😂
Thanks for the reminder. I had meant to add Time Stamps but it slipped my mind.
Great video. Please ignore the negative comments. You spent alot of your valuable time giving us an in depth view. Everyone should know how to fast forward to where they want to be.
Hi Patty, what a darling you are! Thank you so much for your heart-warming support it means so much. I appreciate you! Many blessings for your kindness.
@@medievalmirage you're welcome 😊 🤗❤️
You keep talking I learn that way 😊 those people who complain of too much talking should just move on and stop posting negative things we in the real crafting world really appreciate each other 😊 tfs ❤️ Alison new subbie
Hi Alison, thank you so much for your beautiful support and for becoming a subbie, it is so great to have you join. Thank you. I really appreciate your kindness. Wishing you a fabulous day.
Ignore the negative nellies. They can’t be happy unless they’re putting someone else down. Loved the video and how you took the time to explain the process. 💕🥰💕 Hugs
Couldn't agree more about negative people. I also loved the video.
Hi there gorgeous Mitzie. Hope you are well. Apologises for my slow reply. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments of support and looking out for me. It means a lot to have you in my corner. I really appreciate your kindness and positive spirit. You are a gem! Huge hugs of appreciation and best wishes for you always.
Thank you so much for your kind support and heart-warming appreciation for the video. It means a great deal. Many best wishes for your kindness.
Thank you! For those who find the video too long are probably those who do things their own way... For those who are learning, and want to see the full process, this is excellent. I started with using your process, for coffee dying, and continue to use. I appreciate you sharing what stencils you use, how you store them, etc... very thorough, and much appreciated!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for your sweet support. I appreciate your kindness. Huge apologise for my slow response. Sending tons of best wishes your way.
Thanks for a very informative video! Just to share a couple of ideas: I sometimes place the border stencils (tall and slim stencils) to the right or left of the pages to get a ' blank but colored' center writing area... I have also used this method to dye pages in other colors using diluted food dyes ( like easter egg dyes) - worked well, gote clear but soft colors. And, adding a dash of mica powder can also make some pretty softly blingy pabes... 😊
Hi dear Miranda. Hope you are well. Thank you so much for your beautiful comments and support and also looking out for me, when it comes to those who leave unhelpful comments. It means a lot to have you in my corner. Thank you so much. I always appreciate your feedback and tips. Have you ever thought of starting your own YT channel. I am sure you would have so much to teach us. Thanks again for always cheering me on and sharing your thoughts. Huge hugs of appreciation and best wishes.
Hello sweet friend, what a great surprise and it made my day. It’s been awhile. So happy to see you and share this time together. Be sure to watch my latest journal using one of my favorite digital of yours. It’s gorgeous and filled with lace. Hugs
Hello gorgeous Char, wow, thanks so much for being here and cheering me on. Your support means so much. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones. Thank you for letting me know about your latest journal, sounds wonderful. Thank you dearest. I am so looking forward to watching it and the magical things you created. Huge hugs coming your way. PS. Once I get to watch your DTP, shall chat with you over at Etsy.
Beautiful papers!! People might not think about plastic placemats for the kitchen table. Before I finally found all of my plastic table cloths, I found gorgeous placemats. They’re usually out at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have a LOT of gold, red and white ones. Some are large round ones and others are rectangular shaped. I love my place mats and use them all the time when dying papers. ❤❤
Thank you so much Amber. I am so happy you are nicely set up with plastic table cloths and pretty plastic placements, I am sure you have the most beautiful results. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
Hi Jarf - you are so sweet ! Loved your intro ! so happy to see you today.

I could have watched this video for hours. I so enjoy how you go through each “chapter “ if you will - even the serving trays were so helpful.
I do have so many of these larger stencils I love them .
I’ve used them when I do my gold water color dying . However , one at a time ! A true labor of love .
This is amazing !!
I love how every piece is so unique. No 2 are exactly alike . Thank you , so very much for your time in creating this video.
Wonderful visiting with you. I’m happy that I’ve not yet printed my latest kit of yours yet. These will make lovely additions to my journal. Thank you for the bonus video xx Enjoy your weekend happy crafting xx

How happy am I to have come across a video by you. I have never forgotten you lovely lady. I love the idea of this video, after all these years I am still too frightened to try and coffee dye. I think I might give it a try now as I have a huge selection of stencils, especially since I found Temu!!!. Hope life is treating you well and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Rose.
I to have wanted to try this method for so long, She’s made it look so easy. also you mentioned Temu. 🙌🏼 ❤ lol not heading over to the site to buy stencils now. 😂 can’t wait for that rabbit hole, wonder where I’ll end up. Stencils, Stencils, Stencils, Stencils. 😭
Hi there lovely Rose, so great to hear from you and have you join me here. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so excited you are going to give this a go, with your huge selection of stencils. Yay! You are going to have the best time. Best wishes with hugs.

Thank you for watching.
How do you dry so many pages. Loved this tutorial, the pages look very medieval, Lovely.
Hi Debbie, thank you so much for your lovely comments and kind words. Regarding your question, the papers remain in the tray and they dry in the tray. It is true that drying time is slow this way, but in summer the tray can be left outside and brought in at night and in winter, safely place the tray in directional heat and as the top layers dry, they pull away from the rest of the papers in the tray, you peel those pieces off and stack those dry pieces on your craft table, and the same will happen to the next layers.

Wonderful tutorial Jarf, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Your papers are delightful. 💖💖💖
I really appreciate your kind comments. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all the information and your video to showing how you achieved these gorgeous dyed results. There are so many ways to dye papers that I like to watch different videos to see their special tips and take from them what I find useful or what method I might want to give a try with. Your process looks like I could get good results with so I’m hoping to give it a try. I really like your mix of the coffee and tea together because I don’t like the deep brown from coffee but the tea can’t come out quite yellow. I’ve been thinking of mixing them too and now your video has confirmed my hunch to give that a try. I’m in the US and I’ve also seen where vinyl placemats or table runners with an open weave design can be used like the plastic lace as well. I appreciate all your explanations and video tutorial and now I have a few more tips to make my paper dyeing even more successful. Happy crafting! 😊
Lovely hearing from you Belinda. Thank you so much for sharing your own wonderful experiences and experiments and for all your kind words and support. Wishing you the very best.
Guuurl! That is very cool.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely beautiful, thank u for sharing. I can’t wait to try this out.
P.s the oxidation on those images were gorgeous. 😍❤️👌🏼
Thank you so much for your lovely, heart-warming comments. I wish you great joy trying this out. Best wishes.
Hi Jarf, thank you so much for this new version. I will try it and pop the trays in front of my heat pump. Winter is biting in New Zealand. 😊
😂 I was shocked when I read your post, then I had to remember the earth is large and I am in Texas and our seasons are opposite.
Hi there Marlene from NZ. Thank you so much. Love NZ, best place on the planet. Melbourne's weather gets pretty cold. Though I can imagine if you are from the South Island, it would certainly be extremely bitingly cold. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Stay warm and enjoy your stencil dyed papers. Best wishes.
I love your digital kits, I don't know why I didn't think to look for a TH-cam channel. I so enjoyed your video. I have used stencils during coffee dying but I was underwhelmed with the results for the effort. I can't wait to have go at your method. Thank you for sharing. Xxx
Hi Carol, so lovely to have you visit my channel, (such an honour! thank you!) and for always being so heart-warmly supportive of my digital kits. I appreciate you. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this technique. I hadnt considered using stencils during the coffee/tea dyeing process. You had some beautiful images. ❤😊
You are most kind. Thank you so much.
So so inspiring my mind is almost racing from the possibilities. I am going to try old book pages with stencils
Thanks so much Sonya. I am sure your possibilities are exciting. Absolutely old book pages with stencils will be stunning. Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing! Great Tutorial! 😊
You are most welcome. Thank you so much for your kind comments and heart-warming appreciation, with tons of best wishes.
Thank you, this how i do it with plastic lace. I don’t have any stencils large enough.
Hi Lucy, lovely to have you here. Yes, I too use this method also with plastic lace having done so for many years however since so many haven't been able to find plastic lace, it was time for an alternative. As mentioned in the video, little stencils can work well too. Take care dear Lucy.
beautiful. have you tried using lace fabric? i was wondering if that would work? thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge
Thanks so much for your sweet words and support. Yes, I have used lace for my coffee/tea staining but it was a while ago. Sometimes it works sometimes not, it depends on the design of the lace. Lace trims work best especially if they have defined perforation. The great thing is, you get aged vintage looking lace and coffee stained papers at the same time. Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. Best wishes with appreciation.
I don't know what's going on with your comments, because I hate extraneous chatter and you didn't do any. I'm listening to the whole thing because you're telling me things I want to know. And it's making me want to check out the rest of your channel.
You are so kind, Laurie. Thank you so much for your heart-warming reassurances. Your support means a great deal. Wishing you the very best.
Thank you for showing me your process. Awesome ❤️❤️
Thank you so much.

Thank you for taking the time to sharing great information it was very helpful enjoy your day .....
Thank you so much Joan for your heart-warming appreciation, it is most kind of you. Best wishes with many thanks.
What do you think about adding a little baking soda to the tea or coffee solution to mitigate the acid from the solution? Beautiful results! ❤
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind comments and your suggestion. I appreciate your input. It is true that some people do use baking soda, but I never have. I have been coffee/tea dying papers for more than ten years now with no baking soda and it has not harmed or hurt the papers in all that time. Thanks again with best wishes.
Dear Jarf, I loved how you revealed the fruit of your labours in the beginning before going in to the process, that way we didn’t have to wait and see the beautiful results. Your small space techniques are greatly appreciated. I don’t have many stencils but I use the plastic lace method you showed us to tea dye my paper all the time, because even in winter on a sunny day I can sit the container out on the lawn and have perfect papers at the end of the day.👍🌏
Thank you so much for your most kind, darling, heart-warming comments. How fantastic that you are able to get so much done with plastic lace in a container even in winter while the sun is out. I am thrilled for you. Thank you so much for your sweet support.
Thanks so much for sharing your process. I needed this! Already experimenting with some index cards. 😂❤
Hi Joyce, thank you so much for your heart-warming appreciation. I am so glad it proved helpful for you. Wishing you happy coffee/tea dyeing index cards with stencils. Best wishes to you with many thanks for your kindness.
How do you dry them? So many would seem to take a lot of space?
Hi there, thanks for your question. The papers remain in the tray and they dry in the tray.

Love your results. Please share what you added for blue coloring at approximately 1:06:00
Yes- I was wondering that as well!
Hi Sharon, thank you for your kind comments and for watching. I apologise for not being very clear, but the colour blue was just watered down acrylic blue paint, just a generic brand. Thanks again.
@@kathyanstine4472 Hi Kathy, I apologise for not being very clear, but the colour blue was just watered down acrylic blue paint, just a generic brand. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your time and effort- great info❤
You are most kind. Thank you so much for your heart-warming appreciation.
so, do you leave them in the trays untl they completely dry? How long does this typically take?
Hi Cherie. Thanks for watching. Yes, i leave them in the tray but I also take off the top layers as they begin to dry and peel off. Climate and heating will determine how long this process can take. In hot dry summer outside, it can take a day or a day and a half. Inside, in winter, with good heating it can take up to two 24 hour days and a couple of hours. If you need to see the step by step drying process, I have just uploaded a follow up video with time stamps. I will paste the link here for you, if you require it. Best wishes. th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
I like to lay down some instant tea and or coffee undiluted for what i call flecks. I just bought some brusho and will also try that this weekend... for color.
Sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Ich ärgere mich über viele der Kommtare hier: Wenn ihr Euch an der Länge stört - warum schaut ihr das Video dann? Seid einfach froh, dass jemand sein Wissen mit Euch teilt und meckert nicht über die Form der Wissensvermittlung. Das finde ich absolut frech und respektlos.

Ich denke genau so wie du !
Absolutely gorgeous! 🌹❤I can't dye for myself anymore - having CRPS & I'm also rheumatic - wont allow me to sit in my studio for more than 20 min - time has totally changed me from independent to almost needing help for everything. I miss this so much.

Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your heart-warming appreciation. Best wishes to you.
Just ran across your very informative video. I am just wondering why you have coffee and tea together in your brew? TFS
Hi there, thank you for watching. With regards your question, I really love the colours of the two combined. It is a nice rich warm colour. Coffee on its own at times has a cool tone. Tea has a warm tone but the coffee adds depth and so the two work well together. Thanks again and best wishes.
@@medievalmirage Good to know I think I will give it a try.
It's me again Jarf, these would make another great digital for your Etsy shop. I'd buy the other tea/coffee etc background pages if I could. I'm sure these would be best sellers also. Just a thought for you. God bless. Becky B
Hi Becky, I really appreciate your kind input and suggestions. You are so encouraging. Regarding turning the papers into digitals for my Etsy shop, i like the idea, however, I have a feeling this could encroach on the copyrights of the stencil designers. Thank you anyway dear Becky. Best wishes with hugs.
What beautiful results! I would have liked to see you unwrap the dyed paper stacks, however. How long did they take to dry?
Thank you so much Linda. You are most kind. Many felt like you with wanting to see the unwrapping of the dried paper stack., so I created a follow up video with time stamps included. I will post the link at the end of this message for you. It also answers questions as to how long they take to dry. It really depends on the seasons, whether one dries them indoors or outdoors, and how many papers and how much liquid used. Thanks again for your kind support. Best wishes to you. th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html

Bonjour! I would love to try this process, but I am sadly allergic to coffee. Even the smell is nauseating to me. Have you tried dyeing the papers using alcohol inks?
Bonjour!! Lovely to have you join in watching this video. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am sorry you are allergic to coffee. The good new is, that you do not have to use coffee at all! Use only tea and you can make a light brew or dark brew, or both. You can use the dark brew in the spray bottle and light brew in the dipping tray. You will still get great results or you can add a bit of re-inkers. The ones I like are “Coffee” by Ranger or Ranger's “Vintage Photo” to add an imitation coffee colour. But please be careful as the ink is highly saturated only add a single drop at a time, and build the colour to your preference slowly. Keep doing tests with strips of white paper to get the right colour and tone for you. Don't forget to write down the amount you put in, how many teabags, how much water and if using re-inkers how many drops. I hope that helps. Alcohol inks work in such a unique way and thus I haven't gone down that path...but maybe one day. Thanks again with best wishes.
Hi Jarf, your papers are exquisite and I love the ghosting that occurs naturally too. I am an oven paper baker from way back but interested in trying your method with the stencils. Please could you let me know where you got those trays from in Oz. I am in Oz too hence why I loved seeing an Aussie tutorial which relates to where I can get supplies from. I would use these so much. I did a search but can only find these trays in singles and around $7 to $8 au each tray. Would you kindly share where you got the pack of 10 from if you still have that info? Thank you in advance. Shar
Hi Shar, my dear fellow Aussie, so lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for your kind comments and for watching. I hope you are well. Regarding the trays, I got them from Ebay ages ago. I think they were in Melbourne or Sydney. I need to purchase from Ebay soon, when I sign in, I will try to locate the purchase and relevant info and if it is still available, I will message you either links or the name of the company here for you. Thanks again. Best wishes.
That would be awesome Jarf. Love what you do. Look forward to hearing back from you 🌸
@@sharfisher1959 Hi Shar, hope you are well. Thanks for your lovely reply and for your patience with me. Sorry it took so long, only got to do my Ebay shopping the other day. Unfortunately it seems that the trays I purchased are no longer available. But I will give you the details from my purchase order, which was in July of 2021. They may have totally sold out and may restock them again, it may be worth getting in touch with them. Also you may try the title of the listing in Amazon and see if they sell these trays there. Anyway this is the info for reference. The Ebay shop is called: ozhousehome6 and the listing title was: 6/12pcs Black white Large 45 x34cm Fast Food Drinks Tray. I wish you the very best in locating either the same trays or similar ones. Please let me know how you go. Thanks again Shar. Take care. Xx
@@medievalmirage Hi Jarf. That's amazing. I think since Covid, our crafting supply world has turned upside down. When I saw them for $7 to $8 per tray? I think that would be right. I think you mentioned quite a few for $30. Maybe those days are gone. But bless you for getting the info for me. I will certainly follow that link you shared. I have been looking into other trays so if I find anything similar I will pass onto you. I watch your videos in between making my own. Time goes by so fast x
@@sharfisher1959 Thanks heaps dear Shar. You are a delight. Yes, it is so true as you say Covid has turned crafting supplies into crazy prices. I do hope you find something that fits your needs and is affordable. I wish you the very best in your search and your crafting adventures. Take care, hun. Xx
Wonder if i can do this with my papers that are used to make stickers from..u know the ones with backing...

I am new to your videos. Anxious to learn. If you have time...where did you get that stencil holder? Thank
You. Linda😊
Hi Linda, thank you for your kind visit and for watching. The stencil holder is actually a plastic a4 document folder that I picked up here in Australia at either the supermarket or office supply store. I added cardstock to each plastic shelve to separate the stencils and to make them easier to see. I hope that helps.
This is an amaaaazing video! I loved seeing your stencil collection!
For the people complaining about the length of the video, they need to learn how to use the cog/gear wheel on the top right corner of the video and increase the speed of the video, and stop being so disrespectful and hateful. New subscriber here!
A very warm welcome to you and thanks so much for your wonderful and supportive comments, they are most heart-warming and very kind. And thank you so much for subscribing. It is a delight to have you join. Sending tons of best wishes and warm appreciation.
How to starts at 44:14. For anyone that wants to get straight on without the endless yap.
Die Idee einfach Vorzuspulen ist ja nicht schlecht, aber warum musst Du so beleidigen dabei sein? Den Begriff "Gejammer" finde ich ziemlich frech und respektlos. Anstatt das Du Dich darüber freust, dass sie Dich an ihrem Wissen teilhaben lässt.

@@shawnmurray9964 thank you beauty.
I can’t find your channel?
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind appreciation.
Hi, why do you add just a little bit of coffee in your dipping tray rather than the whole pot at one time? And also, what is your blue dye? Is it just watering paint? First time watching your channel and I’m addicted. Thank you for making my day.
Hi Sandy, I am touched that my video made your day. You have made mine with your kindness. Thanks so much!! Regarding your question, where i was filming this video, I didn't have much bench space, also the tray I was using wasn't very deep and as I didn't want to make a mess and get liquid everywhere, I only added a bit of the brew in the dipping tray. The blue dye I used was actually watered downed acrylic paint. Thanks again for your encouragement. It means a lot. Best wishes.
So with the stencils do you just wait 3 days for all the paper layers to dry out? Do you put them in a low oven (as I do for regular coffee dyed papers) for an hour?
Coffee stain papers… layer in some stencils…
What’s the NEXT few steps?!?
Can you show what happens from wet stencils stacked inside papers to the dry finished products?!
❤❤❤ EXACTLY !!!! FOR SURE !!!! I AGREE WITH YOU ❤❤❤
This was my very first video that was sooo boring ❤❤❤. I've watched countless videos. This was also my first time seeing, your video---- O M G LADY !!!!! TRUTH BE TOLD !!!!
Hi LegoStar. Thanks for your questions. The coffee/tea dyed papers remain in the tray to dry. In summer, I take the tray outside and bring it in at night, it can take one to two days to dry this way. In winter, inside a heated room, the papers in the tray can take up to 3 days to dry. I peel off the papers that are dry at the top of tray and continue that process, until they are all dry. I never use an oven. So yes, coffee stain the papers laying stencils in between and that is it. They sit in the tray until they air dry. I will keep your suggestion in mind for next time. Thank you.
Beautiful stained paper! I use stencils too! However, I dry halfway in my oven, with very low heat, with the oven door open, and for 5 min. I remove the stencil and let the paper finish drying and it works well. I also watch over my new stencils to make sure they can tolerate the heat. I'm sorry if you explain why, but I can't finish watching, is there a reason to dip the in-between pages other than just getting ghost-like prints? Would putting say baking paper in between prevent the need for 4-5 paper if someone didn't have that many to use? Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your process, it is much appreciated. The reason for the extra papers on either side to sandwich the papers is not only to get the ghost prints repeated till they fade, but also to stop the stencil impressions from clashing into each other. I did a follow up video using your suggestion, so thank you for that, to use baking paper instead of the extra papers, and because the baking paper wrinkles intensely, this added its own patterns but also distorted or compromised the stencil impressions. I will leave the link here for you if you are curious. Thanks again for watching and for your suggestions. th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
@@medievalmirage cool that you gave it a try/experimented.
Wounderful your paper❤🎉😊how long must the paper stay in the Coffee?? Greatings from Nici
They stay there until they dry. Remember, she said don’t even check on them until they are dry.
@@chrisboyd3626 Thanks again Chris for helping out. You are a gem.
Hi Nici, gracious greetings to you. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. Apologies for my slow response. I am grateful to Chris who assisted with answering your question. If you need more in-depth explanations...I created a follow up video of the steps with regarding the drying of papers after the papers are coffee/tea stained. I have also added time stamps. Thanks again. Here is the link... th-cam.com/video/18zkOZnZMNU/w-d-xo.html
Question.... can you decoupage with these? Maybe have to seal them first? Just a thought?
Hi Sonya. Thanks for your question. I haven't decoupaged coffee-tea stained papers but I agree you would have to seal them first. I use these types of papers for junk journal signatures. Thanks for watching.
What kinds of paper have some of you used? And which do you think gave the best results? Has anyone used a sealant? ModPodge? Spray? Polycrylic? And which worked well for you?
I use plain Copier paper. No need to seal it. You'll love the results
Hi there, thanks for your question. Sorry for my slow reply. You can use any kind of papers but I find printer copy paper easy to use with great results. I am not sure what you mean by using a sealer. Do you mean after the papers are dry, to stop the stencil impression from fading or being compromised if it gets wet? I use the papers for junk journal signatures and they do not need any sealing at all. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for helping out a fellow viewer. I really appreciate your kindness. And I totally agree with your helpful comment, its exactly what I use and my feelings too.
If you don't like it don't watch it. Your rudeness is offensive.
Thank you so much for looking out for me, Patty. It is true, such comments are disheartening but it is ones like you that help mitigate and dilute them. Thanks again for your sweet support. Best wishes to you.
Did you use instant coffee or regular coffee?
I've had good success with instant coffee. It was a bit expensive at the grocery store but found it at Dollar tree (in the US)
Hi Barbara, thank you for watching and for your question. Apologies for my slow reply. Yes, instant coffee is the one I use. I just get the most cheapest generic brand available.
Thank you again for being so kind in helping fellow viewers. Best wishes for your generous assistance.
Thanks. Do you take them out to dry them or leaVe them in the tray?
I believe she said not to touch them, or rather not to even peek at them, but rather to let them be. The only way you can disturb them. She says, is to drain off excess coffee if you need.
Drying time will vary 😅 depends on your paper thickness, how much liquid is in the tray, and of course local air temperatures. If you have the patience to leave them in the tray they will get a better imprint... you can place them out in the sun (the whole tray) until they dry fully or partially ‐ your call as to the final effect you are going for... the earlier you ‐ very carefully - separate the pages, the lighter the imprint will be. You can also place the tray in an oven at very low temperature and check it back often Removing pages as they dry... This is not an exact science... ❤
@@chrisboyd3626 Thank you so much Chris for helping out a fellow viewer. I am not able to respond to comments immediately and can take weeks before I can, so thanks for stepping in and assisting. Many blessings for your kindness.
@@831Miranda Hi Miranda, thank you so much for your kind assistance. I really appreciate you for helping out a fellow viewer and giving such a fine explanation. Many blessings for being so helpful.
Hi do the trays need to be plastic or can you use old cookie sheet
Hi Becky, thanks for watching and for your question. It depends. Is the old cookie sheet shaped in a tray and is it in good condition, because anything that can rust will alter and effect the final outcome of coffee/tea dye results. I would recommend either a plastic or stainless steel or ceramic in the form of a tray.
These are so very beautiful 😮 Wondering, how long does it take for you to dry your layered papers in the sun, or inside? Lovely! ❤
Also, with the utmost respect to you, I think it would have been good not to have so much talking, etc, before the tutorial actually begins. It was close to an hour of you literally repeating yourself. I mean no harm or disrespect. This is just an observation that I found myself very frustrated and finally speeding up the video. It could cause many people to abort the video before getting to the meat of it.
Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing this. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being very respectful. I appreciate your input because it is so constructive and I will keep your pointers in mind for next time. I have a lot to learn, so thank you. Regarding your question in the summer it can take one to two days. Inside in a heated room in winter, up to three days. Hope that answers your question. Best wishes.
👍
Don’t forget plastic seems to be a dirty word at the moment, try searching for pvc or vinyl table mats/ cloths instead!
I get what you're saying, but pvc is still a form of plastic.
Really? 😂
It is hard to know what to say these days. Thanks for your advice.
Wow! Great technique! Could have been a 20 minute video, though. Really didn't know if you were ever going to get around to showing how to do the project. A hour's worth of just talking almost made me turn it off.
Thanks for appreciating the method and for sharing your point of view. I shall keep your points in mind for next time.
your video keeps losing sound !!!!
Thanks so much for pointing this out. I was having issues for some strange reason. Thanks again.
You are a delight but you made this video too long. The how to should be straight to the point on a separate video. And all this 50 minutes of an intro should be a tips video. Way too long to get to the point.
Hi Maria, I acknowledge your point of view and shall keep your tips in mind for next time.
Maria, perhaps you don't realize that your tone comes out as complaining and insensitive in English? Many people who are new to this process DO like the detailed explanations. For you I suggest playing the video at higher speed (using the gear icon youtube offers at the upper left of the page).
How about fast forwarding???
@@831Miranda was this message for you? No. She posted and left comments open. Did I insult her artistic abilities? No. She’s amazing. People are allowed to comment good or bad. When I direct a comment to you, then you can complain. And of course I fast forward. How else would I know there was nearly 50 minutes of yap.
@@marlenegura1161 how about being original in your comment? You can see hours before you someone commented the same. But you just had to be noticed. Raised hand, look at me look at me.
So happy to see you Jarf. I really enjoyed watching your method. I am excited to try this. TFS🌴💕Many Blessing.
Hi Annette, you are always there with your generous support. I appreciate you so much. Hope all is well for you. Best wishes with hugs.
How do you dry them 😂
They dry on their own in the tray... slowly... hope this helps.
@@sassyh154 Hi gorgeous Sas!!! What a delight to have you here, hun..you are spot on! Thanks heaps for clarifying and answering on my behalf. I appreciate you so much! Xx
Hi Lisa, hope Sass was able to help you out with your question. Now here is my longer explanation just in case you require it...
The papers remain in the tray and they dry in the tray. It is true that drying time is slow this way, but in summer the tray can be left outside and brought in at night and in winter, safely place the tray in directional heat and as the top layers dry, they pull away from the rest of the papers in the tray, you peel those pieces off and stack those dry pieces on your craft table, and the same will happen to the next layers. So continue to follow that process until the air drying process is completed. Hope that helps. Thank you.
1st time watching ur video. I like long videos. Except it took 25 minites to get to the point. 😢 had to fast forward thru most of video.
Thank you for letting me know. I am glad there is a fast forward button. Also you can play it at high speed if need be. Please know I am working on doing better in future. Thanks for your honesty.
That's very rude to say it that way! There are other videos that are an hour long and nobody says anything about them. If it goes long I save it and watch it later.
Beware ladies American and Australian cups are not the same.
Thank you for the warning, Lucy. I have mentioned it in my pinned comments.
