Hello! I’m new to junk journaling. I never thought about using Kool Aid to dye with. Super smart. And the colors are so pretty! I’ll be giving this a try. Thanks!
❤️💜💚
Thanks for watching. First, if you can, let your papers air dry. I don't dry my papers in the oven anymore. Watch other videos about Kool Aid dying because there are sooooo many ways to do it. My video was made in 2018. So many new ways to dye paper. Good luck with your adventures. I want to add one more thought. I ironed my papers because I wanted them to glue things on them. Crinkled is lovely but I wanted flat. Have a great time!!
Kool-aid just ain't for drinkin' anymore! Gonna try it! Can't wait!
💗😊💕I loved it when you where laughing at the “toasted look”, ha, ha💕😊💗 So nice that your hubby is supportive of your art endeavors.
Thank you! My husband has always been supportive. Bless his heart, he never asks me what stuff costs or why I buy things. I try not to abuse that support either and he gets great gifts from me.
@@MessyTableStudioWhat a great relationship! That’s what I always hoped my daughters would have in a partner… mutual support, growth and a safe place where both can grow and be appreciated for themselves! Love it!!
Love the colors!
I loved the colors too; even the ones over cooked in the oven. lol
LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY !!!!!! LOVE THE PAPERS !!!!
Thanks. Even if some were over baked. They did smell good! lol
Thank you....I watched this late at night,your laughter was good for my soul. I will try some of these colors.
Thanks Bonnie. My husband and I were talking about why we have been married so long. He said it's because I make him laugh everyday. I told him he must be doing on the inside because that face never shows a thing. The man has a face for poker!! I have to laugh everyday. And I love listening to others laugh. It is free medicine for what ails us! Thanks so much for your sweet comment.
Oh Vicky.... your laugh is the BEST.
Made me smile and laugh on a Monday which is tough to do. Lol
Well I am glad to have made you laugh. I am kinda a goober in person. I think I am a pretty boring person. I hope you learned something from the video. I get tickled about the silliest things and as my dad used to say, "Someone turned your giggle box over". Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU LAUGH, THOSE PAPERS ARE GORGEOUS, LIKE PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, I LIKED THE TOASTED ONES, ALL GOING TO BE FUN TO USE, NONE ARE WRONG JUST DIFFERENT.
I WANT SOME KOOL AID 😊 I LIKED WATCHING YOU. 💜 CAMILLE AUST.
Oh you had too much fun in that looks so colorful I'm so glad I watched your video
I found your video by chance, and I am so happy I did! I love your cheery attitude and the tutorial itself. I have never thought of dying papers with Kool-Aid, so will have to buy some at the grocery store today! I liked, subscribed and tapped the notification bell, and I am really looking forward to your future videos. Now I'm going to see your other videos!
Well thank you so much for finding me! Thank you for saying you liked the tutorial. I would love to show how I dyed the papers, but it was seriously put you to sleep. It's just so repetitive; dunk, bake, squeal, dunk, bake, squeal, etc. lol! I hope you enjoy the other videos. Thanks so much for subscribing and doing the bell thing!
Love your giggles
You are soooooooo funny! I enjoyed your video! You're so real!!!!! I think the papers are gorgeous! 🙂🤗💜👍
Thanks Jose. I think I am mostly real goofy. lol. You should try dying some papers. They are super easy to do. Instead of baking them in the oven these days, I have started buying the aluminum trays from Dollar Tree, doing the dying, and then letting them dry overnight so I can move on with something else. I know others who have 15-20 trays stacked up everyday. Thanks for watching. I always love comments and try to answer as I have time.
The toasty blue ones are gorgeous! 😉👍❤️
they are like coffee dyed koolaid papers....well that's my story and sticking to it...lol
Rainbow Goodness.....a pleasure for the senses! TYFS....new subbie here... Michigan....can’t wait to see what you make with them! 💜🦋❤️
This is so smart! I dyed a few strands of hair with red kool aid in high school and it was one of the best/longest lasting colored dyes in ny hair ever. So I can imagine it works great with paper! Thanks for the tip and the trip down memory lane 😊
@@katemcgough6237 I have never dyed my hair with Kool Aid but had friends who did. It does work great on hair as well as the paper. I don't dry my paper in the oven anymore. I am so afraid I will go off to do something and forget it. I air dry all my dyed papers now. I am sure the fire department and my insurance company are thrilled to know this. 😂 Thanks for leaving a comment.
Beautiful rainbow of absolute beauty. Going to be trying this. Thank you
I'm doing junk journals now. Would love to do this for them... ❤
@@dolphintouchmichellepsychi6217 I filled journal with colored papers. I do love coffee dyed papers, but some times brown just won't do. Good luck on your paper dying journey. There are a million dye videos on TH-cam. You will learn so many techniques.
I kept get distracted by your cute laugh so I need to watch again! :-D
Oh my goodness! lol! I am a total giggler and the silliest things. Neither one of my parents were like that so I have no idea where that came from. I hope you got what you needed from the video despite my giggling. Thanks so much for watching.
Awesome results! Thank you for sharing.
Love your laugh, really, we are twins,laugh, laugh.
Vickie, congrats on your new venture. I am so proud of you for getting out there.
Hi Vickie, loved the kool aid dying. Can’t wait to watch your other videos.
And I just used a small amount of boiling water to dissolve my stuff in and then I fill a bottle with rubbing alcohol and makes my day that way and then I spray all my papers
After this video, I discovered liquid watercolors. I did the same thing you do. I put a mixture in small spray bottles and that works fine.
Good to know that the colours held up so well. The colours you got are beautiful. Going to get some cool-aid and give it a go. Thanks much!
Just forget the baking soda. It really didn't do anything for the whole process as far as I can tell. Be sure you mix stuff well so the crystals melt in the water or stuff feel grainy. Good luck!
Love All your papers 👍👌😄👍👌
Really loved this. Also loved your laughter and sense odds humor.😁
Thanks! I try to laugh as much as possible. I am a big giggle girl.
@@MessyTableStudio me too. BTW that was supposed to say "sense of humor." Definitely not odd.😁
Some other gal used 1/2 c of warm water, 1/2 c vinegar. The vinegar adds volume but doesn't dilute the color shade. Pat
Oh, that is good to know. I will do some more papers when I get a new oven. I love the vinegar idea so that it doesn't really change anything. Maybe it sets the color better?
That's good to know....that makes sense, especially with the Easter egg dye that you out vinegar in as well
Beautiful! How long in the oven? what temp please. Got to try it. Love the sound too! ❤
So fun, thx for sharing. When I'm staining papers and baking them, I stand on a really thick, lush bath mat. It helps a lot. Thx again for the great vid.
When I was a working chef, I stood on mats all day. Never occured to me to do it at home. I might have to go and buy me a mat now. My knees and lower back were killing me once I got done. Thanks for watching.
Messy Table Studio, mine is a thick carpet style. Just something to keep in mind when shopping. I had so much pain in my legs and heals. Almost put me in tears. Now its like standing on a cloud. Not perfect, but so much better. Happy paper staining.😊
Soon as you laughed, I hit subscribe! You’re too funny. Papers are very pretty! 💚❤️💙💜🧡💛
Used just cheap computer paper. I do dye other kinds of paper but for that session, I just used regular old computer paper that I bought at Office Max.
love the giggling!
Thank you. I am a total giggler. I have even been known to snort when I get really wound up! It is embarrassing at times.
@@MessyTableStudio just be yourself, is your nickname Messy!?! it should be, love watching your process and method, a bit like mine, just guess!!
I dyed lace as well,it worked great.
Oh I am glad that worked for you. Just be sure that you don't wash the lace too much or eventually it will cause a lot of the color to wash out. If you are using the lace for journals or for embellishments that will never be washed, hopefully it will take a long time for the colors to fade. If you want a more permanent way to dye buy some Ph Martin India Ink dyes. They can be washed and should last longer. They also have a better variety of colors. Good luck with your dying adventures. It is so much fun!
So pretty ! Lots of work there ! Can't wait to see the projects that you'll do with these lovely papers !
Thanks Patricia. I am so pleased with the way the colors came out! I have done coffee and tea dying before but not Koolaid. It was a surprise every time one dried out and the color revealed itself. Super easy to do, but takes time. Thanks for watching!!
Gorgeous!!!
You’re so funny talking about the directions ripped off the pkg! Made me laugh, too! Love your new info & bubly paper
I am the kind of person who leaps before I look most of the time so that explains the directions on the packets. I suggest if you use the Kool Aid not to put baking powder or baking soda in the water. Stuff stains just fine without it. Because I live in Texas and dye paper year 'round I don't use the oven anymore. I bought a retractable clothline and put it in my studio and hang my papers on the clothesline. The ceiling fan is always on so I don't use any extra power drying my papers and they are dried in about 20-30 minutes. I am too impatient for letting them dry overnight on the cookie sheets. Hope this helps!
Ilovethesoundofthepaper
wash dishes in bletch an dawn dish soap that will get the stain out. Thanks for the video
Beautiful 💕
Very nice, cool husband too! I have leftover KoolAid from fiber dying as well. I’m excited to give paper a go! Years ago my husband had me pour baking soda on aluminum foil and my tarnished silver. When hot water was added the aluminum and baking soda reacted and my silver was clean. I don’t know what happens when these meet up but I love the texture you made!
Oh I am NOT telling him he is cool. lol! I will never live that down. The baking soda trick for silver has been around for many years. My mom used to do that. She hated polishing her good silverware for holidays. Some one is another post said something that I think answered my question in the video about the white powdery stuff I had on the sheet pans all the time. They mentioned pre-sweetened KoolAid. I am wondering how if that is the stuff that was left over and not the baking soda. Could have been a combo of the two things. I have plans to do another video and see what happens. Thanks for watching!
Love your laugh. Pretty paper
I loved your Koolaid dying tutorial and am going to try my hand at this. I think using the Koolaid cherry flavor sounds fabulous! I love the smells of cherry pie baking, but this would be significantly better on the waistline! Knowing my luck, it would probably make me so hungry I would end up eating the paper! LOL! By the way, I also love your sense of humor! Thanks for the tutorial! Kathy
Thanks for watching Kathy. Just don't use the baking soda. I think that was a thing I will not do again. The paper still has a faint smell even after a year. I still love it!
It does smell good for sure!
Love your laugh... just hilarious !!!
I love you
I just lost my husband last year and you are contagious 😷 you have made my day and if I never do dying ever again my hands changed by OSMOSIS
LOVE YA SWEETIE I WISH I was your friend and lived close to you you are just what. I need thanks sweetie
First, I am sorry for your loss. I have been married for 41 years and don't know what I would do without the old boy. My father died after my parents had been married 43 years and I truly do not know how on earth my mother carried on as long as she did. I laugh every day at all the dumb things I do, and how in the end they aren't half bad! It certainly shocks me. If we lived closer we might get into all kinds of trouble. Keep in touch!
Great Papers!! I had trouble with Yellow and Pink as well.
I didn't mind the pink being so light, it was the yellow I was really disappointed about. So in goes a few drops of food coloring. Really perked things up! Overall I am pleased with the results.
❤❤❤❤😮😮 very very beautiful ❤. My first time seeing your video ♡. I love your DIY CRAFT. THE COLORS ARE AWESOME ❤❤😮 THANKS FOR SHARING # REPLAY.
The reason for adding the baking soda is to improve the pH and make them more acid free
Love the texture on the first green one.
I ironed those papers and it still was wonderfully textured. I thought the iron would kill it, but it did okay!
Love it. Love it!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you come back to see more in the future.
OMG!!! you are so funny!!!!
Thank you, really
I was having a terrible day and you made me laugh with your ability to laugh at yourself that reminds me of my self 😁😁😁
Oh Yeah!!!! I just subscribed 😜😄
That is so sweet of you to say and do. I am glad your day got better! I try to laugh every day, even if it's just at myself. Thank you for the lovely comment and watching!
Vickie this is so cool. I have to do this ASAP.
Vicky, doing the dying does change the paper into something more like a rag. I did iron it and that went well but printing bead templates did not go so well. Let me know how you do!
That was fun -- can't wait to see your two projects
TheMeriAtelier Thanks Meri! I appreciate your support!
LOVE YOUR GIGGLE
These look great! I work FT and try to play when I can so I usually purchase the dyed papers off Etsy! I would love to do my own but barely have the time to do what I do!!!!
I usually dye my papers and stack up the pans they are in and get to them when I can. A friend recommended buying a retractable clothes line for my art room. I stretch it out like I hanging clothes to dry. They spend the night on the line and the next morning they are good to go. It is a slow process but doesn't take much effort on my part. In the summer months I dye a ton of paper. The ceiling fan does the work for me.
Very Kool !!!
Your silly, I like you!
LOVE ALL THESE
You are to funny, your personality is what attracted me to subscribe, as I'm like you,many more videos to come🤗🌞
Thank you so much 🤗
Just watched the video and I love what you did - I need to try this - they came out very nice and I cannot wait to see what your plans are for them. Thanks Vickie and yes they "sound" wonderful : )
I could not help myself fanning those papers. lol! Shannon got me started on doing that from her older videos when she played in containers of paper beads. I just love those sounds. I thought others might love them too! lol!
Yes - Shannon was always very good at letting us listen to her painty papers and to her beads. lol - I had just told her that I love her nails and the last time she had polished her nails was when she celebrated her 100th video and I don't know why i remember that video but i do - she has a special way of staying in our minds. I am so happy that you are making videos and you are also bringing a smile to my face : )
I like the textured green pape. Slso, I always wonder when dying with flavored items or even coffee and tea dying… does it attract any bugs eventually to the dried paper? Never asked, but always wondered!
Thx, for the share and all your time!
From, Tee in Texas
I have had some of that paper in this video since the day I made it, in a drawer. So far no bugs. Tea and coffee paper have been stored the same way and have had no problems. I have dyed paper with avocado pits and they have done well too.
I dyed a handmade bear fur with that!!! ❤
What THAT is impressive!How did the color come out?
@MessyTableStudio bright. I used orange and lemon. Condensed... Years later, it still has held the colour! The fur was mohair.
@@dolphintouchmichellepsychi6217 That's fabulous. I used to dye my own handspun yarn. I used Jacquard and it did well. Never used Kool Aid. Thanks for letting me know.
did you use cold or hot water and like 2 cups???? Oven set at??? And how long were they in the oven? I am going to try these...... Sandy
I wrote a reply and guess did not hit the blue button. I used really warm water so that the crystals would dissolve faster. I did have some left at the end, and just added a wee bit more warm water and then dissolved the rest of the way. I hope you had good luck with your papers.
Try hydrogen peroxide for getting stains out of fingernails. I work with dyes and this seems to work as well as anything, it's cheap and not toxic.
Great idea. Thanks! I have it on hand but never thought about using it!
Hi m new to your channel and so enjoyed this ! Thank you !
Thanks so much for watching. I always love new watchers and subscribers.
For DEEPER colors , use less water.
I like it
Vickie they are Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! How long do you bake them for?
Oh wow those colours are very kooool 😎😎 I don't know what koolaide is but they make great dyed papers.... sounds are fab too 😊😊😊
Elaine, Koolaid is a fruit flavored drink usually in powder form you mix with water. Grew up drinking it instead of water, which was way healthier. Where do you live, USA or someplace else? I could send you some envelopes of it for you to play with.
Hi Vickie I'm in UK we don't have it here. I thought it was a drink of some sort. The purple one is rather gorgeous and cherry came out very dark and scrummy too. I was thinking of trying some organic things to see how they go. Turmeric looks rather interesting I was watching some one early today using spices and other things. 😊😊😊
It is a drink but usually little kids drink it. It comes in powder form and then you add water to it.
Relatable!!! 😁 first the channel name - messy table - that is sooo me too. About using gloves - if you ever find that tutorial, let me know 😁 constantly dyed hands or paint and glue on hands 😁 About the baking soda maybe too much? Love the idea! I saw a video (might have been Nick the Booksmith) where I should put baking soda in the coffee to get the Ph level neutral. Maybe same reason here... LOVE the colors!!! Wanna make it but I don't think we have kool-aid here (I live in northen Sweden).
What a clever technique. Never saw this one and it maybe something I will try. Guess it's important to bake the paper? I actually liked the baking soda addition. Thanks!
gloria Eike Gloria, I baked my papers at 250 degrees and took them out when they were mostly dried. I dry them in the oven because I don't have a lot of space to hang papers in the studio. Plus I am impatient and want to see them done. If you hang dry them, you will not have extra crispy papers like I did. There is a video on TH-cam that talks about the baking soda. I probably should have watched the whole thing before I started. Lol! Dye some papers. It is so interesting how they turn out so differently. Thanks for watching.
Could you either link the video or just give us the name of the person/video? It is always fun to see this kind of thing!
Kathleen, I will if I can remember where I saw it. I only watched about two seconds of it and then moved on.
Ahhh, been there. And, if I'm on my tablet, I cannot easily go back without loosing my place. From what I have seen, it is used as a mordant to help the color to take.
How much baking soda? I use kool aid all the time to dye my yarns. I'm a knitter. So I never use b.soda. hmmmm interesting. Well it says it makes 2 quarts so you add 2 quarts of water to make a half gallon of koolaid. But not that amount to dye with or it will be like the white one that should have come out pink
I am a knitter too. After all is said and done, I would not add baking soda. I still can not figure out what purpose it served to do that. I think it was unnecessary. I doubt it set the color and it left a white residue on my paper and my pans. My best advise is to skip it and just use water by itself.
I tried mine with food color just today, weird how this showed up in my recommendations. I did purple and green and it turned out so well.
I did talk about adding food coloring to the yellow papers because the Kool Aid barely left any color. Maybe that is why?
LOVED YOUR PAPERS, WENT TO BUY KOOL AID TODAY, CANT BUY IN AUSTRALIA, SO LOOKS LIKE IM STUCK WITH FOOD COLOURING, WONT GET THOSE LOVELY BUMPY BITS. 😖😔
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA 😊
I have never tried food coloring. There's a great idea I might have to try. Did you actually do any yet? I would like to know how they turned out.
@@MessyTableStudio I DID TRY THEM, VERY SUCCESSFUL, PUTING GREEN AND RED TOGETHER MADE A NICE
BROWN, SIMILAR TO COFFEE DYED.
I ONLY SUN DRIED, HAVE NEVER USED AN OVEN.
BUT WE CAN HAVE LOVELY SUNNY DAYS.
SUMMER 46 DEGREES.
💜CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
Fun! Love the colors and the crunchy-sounds the papers make! Do they smell all fruity once dried?
Cat Hand Sadly, no. I had hoped they would. Not even a faint smell. I did let them sit over night and ironed them the next day. I might have ruined any possibility of smell by ironing them?
Bummer! Oh well, they’re beautiful nonetheless. 😊
So how much water did you use for each color? Thank you for sharing.
This video was filmed in 2018 so if I remember correctly it was one cup. If you want concentrated color use anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup. to boost the yellow, I use a few drops of of alcohol ink. Hope that helps.
Just curios why did you add baking soda?
I watched some else's video who said to add baking soda. I can't remember why, but at the time it seemed to make sense.
Do you have to use the oven to dry them? Can outside in the sun work? How long are they in the oven at what temperature?
You do not have to use an oven to dry them. I have an expandable clothesline in my craft room and hand papers on it like laundry with clothespin. I have the ceiling fan going and they dry in about 20 to 30 minutes depending on how wet they are. I don't hand drippy saturated papers. You can also buy cheap cookie sheets from a dollar store and just leave the paper to dry on the sheet on their own. That process takes a few days but yields some great marbling on the paper. I would think drying in the sun with a rock on top would work, but just not a super windy day. I had the oven at 250 and stood right over it to try not to cook the paper or have a fire in the oven. I can't tell you how long they were in the oven but it was pretty quick.
How long do you put them in the oven, and what temperature?
I filmed this in video 2018. I think the oven was as low as I could get it; 250. I truly don't remember for how long.
There beatiful. But i dry mine in the sun all at once so much easier. Just lay the on the grass in hot sun done in 20 min
The white filmy stuff comes off the paper I believe like lint maybe? Paper does have rag/cloth component...that is where the pound weight figures in I think. I had three reams of cheap Office Depot copy paper left over from my home office days of legal consulting so i spent like 5 bucks on some pans and a few more on Kool-aid. ....it was fun!
If i had to go out and buy some i would go 28 lb.
BTW I dont have a working stove just a toaster oven...let the stacks in the pans dry in a sunny window. Popped them in toaster oven at 270 for a few munutes till they started getting toasty dry and it only took a few minutes and i could sit in a chair lol! I dont have patience to do one sheet at a time roflol!
I cheated with mine when I coffee dyed them. I used my heat gun. I didn't want anymore burned edges. I also used a sponge brush and those Dollar Tree sheet pans. I stacked them staggered and let them dry overnight. If they weren't dry all the way, they got blow dried. Sometimes I took more coffee and dripped it on the dried papers to give them more layers of interest. I didn't consider the lint from lesser quality paper to be an issue.I have upped the quality of my paper from a year ago, but am happy I had the other stuff to play with.
Messy Table Studio that filmy stuff paper residue washes right off with no problem. I stick my stack of slightly damp papers in toaster oven in less than 5 minutes they all dry and crispy but not burnt. after about 1 minute i can take off the top and bottom cuz they crispy. i guess since it it smaller dries faster...might look for a toaster oven at estate yard sale or thrift store....no sore back lol!
Thank you for a great conversation! I love learning what others do that can help me better what I do. Is it time for another dying video??
Messy Table Studio might be lol! I'm still playing and experimenting with it. I will report back in another week 👍
Omg, bake at how high ,can you put them right on racks or no?🤔
I did them at 250 and kept checking on them. I don't use the oven anymore. I dry them on a clothes line in my art room. It's safer that way.
You didnt add sugar though?
No. You don't need it. My husband bought the sugarless kind.
Hi Vickie - just heard about your channel after watching a video by Meri!!!!! I have subscribed and I have rang your bell lol I wish you the best of luck and this has made me very happy ~ hugs to you
Thanks Janet. I have had it just a little bit of time. Still working out the kinks to having a channel. I want to record all the time but our internet is terribly slow out here in the country so I have to pace myself. Thanks for subscribing and ringing my bell.
Do you have a tutorial on drying ?
On drying? No. I do one of three methods:. Oven, air drying or heat gun. The oven is usually set at 250 degrees and I watch it like a hawk to be sure the paper doesn't catch on fire.
Lovely colours! I wonder how fast the colour is, meaning will it fade?
The video is nearly three years old. I still have a pile of the papers and the color seems to have held up very well. I have put wet medium and glues all over the pieces I collaged and they have held up pretty well. It was my first time dying paper and even though I was not wild about the texture, I thought it went pretty well. I would however not dry them in the oven anymore since I have a clothesline in my art room. Almost none of them smell like the flavors I used and that was disappointing. I thought a book that smelled like the fruits would be kind of interesting.
After leaving the above comment I went back to look at how old my video was. I wanted to correct what I said. It was made in 2018. Not quite three years but the papers have not faded.
Pretty, pretty! Sounds like a lot of work. What was your water ratio? I would like to try this.
Thilda Hanna Thilda, I did not measure the water. I think it might have been about a cup to a cup and a half of water. I just eye balled it. I had a good time but standing around the oven for three hours is tiring. You have to stay right there and check on the paper because it will catch on fire if you leave it too long. Give one packet a try to see if you like it.
The instructions are for making kool aid to drink, so it's just add 2 qts of water to one pack of Kool Aid plus 1 cup of sugar. The trick is figuring out how to make dye water for paper - a whole 'nother thang, LOL. Love your colors - they turned out great. I can't imagine why someone else had said to use baking soda though. It's an alkalai and shouldn't bubble, so since it did, that means the kool aid powder is a bit acidic. Maybe that's the reason - to take any of the acidity out of the paper to keep it from falling apart in 50 years or something, lol.
I will never use baking soda with my paper dying again.
Vickie I’m assuming what happened is the lemon lime koolaid had citric acid in it and it reacted with the baking soda. When you make bath bombs that’s what is used to make them frizz. Only the citrus flavors would have citric acid :) hope you enjoyed this chemistry lesson. Your paper are stunning. I’m excited to try this. TFS! ❤️
Gina Jodlowsky Great chemistry lesson! I had no earthly idea. It was very fizzy so I guess that stands to reason that's what happened. It was was funny though because it totally caught me off guard! I was laughing. Thanks for watching and explainjng to me about the reaction. I am smarter now for sure!
Messy Table Studio I think I’d freak out a bit .... omg... omg... what’s going on? Lol at least you had a good laugh. Keep up the good work, I came over from Shanon Greens channel and you remind me of her, I look forward to more videos from you 💕
Love love love your colors, papers, and cheerful voice! Thank you for sharing! Do you think it best to dye paper with food coloring or koolade? I’ve been wanting to try both, but time is limited so I’m not sure which to try first.
Daisy, I was disappointed in the yellow so I did add food color to "beef" up the color. I have not done strictly food dyes but others have and they turn out very nicely. I might have to do a video on that in the future. I think that if you want vivid color I would do with food dyes first. Kool Aid does pastel looking color depending on the ratio of water and mix you use. Good luck with the dying. It turns out so differently every time!
Hi there, how did you get the purple to be darkish?
I used less water and I think maybe two packets.
Messy Table Studio thank you
@@jenram948 You are so welcome. Don't use baking soda. I don't think it really does anything for the color. If you think the colors aren't dark enough put a drop or two of food coloring to beef it up. I had to do that with the yellow.
Hi Vicky, I have been watching Cindy and she showed the small journal you made her for the program ABC . Do you sell them and if not do you have a tutorial on how you made them? I would be interest in one for her program. Thank you Hug Linda
I don't sell them but will give you a link to the video where I learned it. Check the link below.
linda green th-cam.com/video/ys7akkpfj1Q/w-d-xo.html
You will probably have to use two packs of pink lemonade
Couple of questions...do you think the colors would be more vibrant if you use two Kool Aid packets and same amount of water? How long did you leave the paper in the water? Did the color of the paper get darker, the longer you left it in the water? Anyway, deliciousness! Thanks for sharing!
Might be, but I think Yellow will still be pale. Ic you do it and it works let me know. I want to do more paper but like the deeper colors.
Iron the paper with hot iron wet
Most of the paper is gone now. I have ironed most of the papers I dye except the acrylic paint ones. I think the paper still have a lovely crunchy sound. I like that the paper is flat so I can glue images on it and not have to worry about it coming unstuck. Thanks for the tip though.
Try LAVA soap for stained hands
I have this round gray disc from Ranger that gets the paint off my hands. It's just scratchy enough and doesn't tear the skin off your bones. Works very well.
Use boiling water
Get a notebook and take notes of what your results were
lol
Your laugh makes me tickled. It is wonderful 💜made my day💜
I did Kool aid papers. I use my metal keys, gears, punch outs and die cuts, little paper doilies, as patterns. I also put in some la colors eye shadow. Then i baked piles of them. The effect is amazing. And the smell!!! They're my favorite. The instructions are for drinking not for dying.
I have never done keys or metal. I have done silicone pieces, paper plates holders and doilies. Always interesting results. Thanks for the suggestions. Always good to try new things! I thought some of the papers smelled better than others. The read actually smelled like a cherry pie. Is that crazy?
@@MessyTableStudio If it's crazy, then I'm crazy. I love the smells. I bought the LA colors eye shadows for embossing but it didn't come off the surrounding area at all so I kept them and decided to try it on my papers. Beautiful effect, just all shimmery. I have some gate die cuts, and they make a pretty sight, and then you also have a colored gate for something else
I love your laugh; so cute. I like the tossed blue, looks vintage. :)
I am about out of my paper so it might be time for another dying video. I don't think I will dye it the same way this time, because my paper should look like paper and not a blueberry Pop Tart. lol. Glad you like it. Too bad I didn't know that sooner, I could have sent it to you.
love the peach color! 🤩 i’m going to do this because i cannot find peach paper…. there’s peach cardstock but not copy paper weight 😮 Appreciate your sharing!😊
