Wow pink
Fun video demystifying avocado dying of paper. 😉😁
Thanks!
After watching your video I know I can do it! thank you Kate Mower!
Yay! You can do it!
No worries about the paper. I actually like to dye my printables because I never know how the dye pattern is going to turn out. =)
Well, I love how that came out. I’m may do it on purpose and put it in my stash for collage.
@@BeAgainBooks, I actually do a lot of that on purpose. =). I use a lot of tombow markers when I am doing watercolor paintings. The papers that I mess up on, I just put them in my stack to dye. The result always turns out amazing. (Well, most of the time. Lol)
Love all the different shades. Just to see what would happen I used up the rest of the Easter egg dye and ended up with some beautiful colors.
Yeah there's a lot of potential if you don't mind the runny ink! The one from this tutorial did turn out pretty cool
I’m getting ready to avocado dye some papers, so I checked into You Tube University and started my search - I will say that your video so far is my favorite 😍. It’s clear and well done, and you even went the extra mile to show the difference between just the skins and just the pits. I missed the giveaway, but I’m a winner anyway because I learned a lot from your video and now I’m a subscriber 🥰 and I’m going to check out some of your other videos! Thanks for this!
Thank you!! 🙌💕
Thank God for mother in laws ....
amen!
If you dry the papers in a hot sun they get darker quicker too. Fun if you use lace or another pattern as a resist and the sun changes the background around the shape.
That's good to know! That'd be nice to just leave them out and not have to worry about them getting burned. Do you have a table or flat surface outside or do you hang them? I'd like to try that but don't really have anywhere to put them outside
@@KateMower I have a tiled patio and outside table so I laid them flat. Just have to watch they don't blow away when they get dry lol
Great tutorial! Never thought about the acid.
Go girl! I'm so glad I found your video, I am new to paper craft and very overwhelmed to say the least ,with all the different things that go into JJ's, it's like where do I start???!
Yeah it can totally be overwhelming! My first journals were soooo simple and basic and I think that really helped me learn. Also I try to make it a rule to create more then I consume. When I watch too many How To videos I get overwhelmed.
I love your paper dyed with avocado. You are so funny
Thank you!! :)
Super great tutorial, Thanks, Kate!
Yay PINK! Wonderful tutorial!
Thanks!!
Thanks Kate. I'm giving a try for the first time. I missed the drawing, but this is what I needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Such a fun pink surprise... Love watching you!!
Thank you! 💖
I just bought your folder pocket and I love it! I love your simple elegance. I too love the avo dyed paper colors. I use multiple cookie sheets to dry it and when the papers done and cookie sheets still hot I put them on top of the papers and it helps flatten them.
Awesome! Thank you!
Your tutorial is the best I have found for avocado dyed paper. I have tried other tutorials in the past but the results were disappointing. After following your one I got nice pink paper, thank you so much!
Yay! Thank you that means so much!
Love your tutorial !! Beautiful paper !
You are my new favorite art crush.
Thanks!!!
Thank you Kate what a great tutorial!
I did it!!! Today... it's cooling now!!! Guacamole was delicious too!!
Yay! That's awesome!!
Great video... how timely for me... was wanting to research this but was putting it into the future... thanks for doing this ....JUST FOR ME...LOL...LOL... great work! Those are delicious!
It was totally just for you! lol I'm glad it worked out perfect :)
Avacados...I've never dyed with them. I use ink. Then I used my hair dryer on low. Your pink paper is lovely...I'll have to try the avacado! TFS🤗
Thanks!
This was so very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank yo so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good tips. Like your incredibly folding booklets
Thanks!
Such pretty pink.
Thanks!
Thank you for showing us how to do this project. Since there is acid in coffee dyed papers, I would still love to see how to neaturlize the papers. Thanks again!
Thanks! Yeah I'd love to do one on coffee dying paper too and make a recipe for neutralizing it.
Thanks for all your experiments. I haven't tried dyeing paper yet; I'm still gathering avocadoes.
Good luck!
Great video. Ty for sharing. Love pink. Fuuny, I thought they would be green!
I know right? Thanks!!
My first avocado dyed paper came out beautiful. The second and third try, not so much!
And I just came across your video. When you scrubbed inside of avocado, I thought whhhat! So next time I’m following your directions, thank you😀
Yay! Glad you be helpful. Hope it turns out amazing!
Thanks for the video of dying paper. It turned out great
Yay! Thanks!
Thank you!!! I have some pitts saved in the freezer, can’t wait to try this.
Yay! 🙌💖
Best paper dying demo ever. Your dying experiments answered a lot of questions foe me.
Thanks so much!
TYFS this, great tutorial on avocado dying. I will be doing this. 👍💕🌼🌼🌼
Thanks! Have fun!
What a fantastic tutorial. Very thorough. I really enjoyed it and will definitely give this a try. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
@@KateMower I tried it, I loved it, I'm doing more! 😁 And I've recommended this video to others as it's so informative. Thanks x
I enjoyed your video on avocado dyed paper!
Awesome! Thank you!
Enjoyed your fun tutorial. Well done.
Thanks so much 😊
Great video. And so well filmed.
Thank you very much!
I never thought to wash the peelings. Thanks!
Happy to help!
You couldn't have explained this better plus it was enjoyable. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks. I was just air drying but now I will try the oven method as well, I had not used the oven thinking it would make them more brown. Good suggestion on washing . Great video.
Thank you! 💖
Love it, just need to collect the pits and skins 🤗
Thanks!
Lots of helpful information! Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial! I am now brave enough to try it myself!
Yay! I’m so glad 💖
@@KateMower - I took it to a whole 'nother level! I dried the paper in full sunshine (which deepened the pink colour) and laid lace on top - im very pleased!
I know what I'm doing this weekend!!!!
Yay! Have fun!
thanks for sharing your dying technique I so enjoy your videos take care stay safe
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for the tutorial. I always airdry my papers on a sunny day. No fear for burning🙂🇳🇱
That's a great idea too!
I ❤️❤️❤️ all your tutorials, ty for sharing
Glad you like them!
I haven't tried this yet; I'm still at the avocado-gathering stage. Thanks for showing all the different methods and papers. I know it will save me a lot of grief when I dye my first batch.
Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial, and all your other tutorials. The ending made me laugh so hard, “too weird” hahahaha
Thank you!
I do similar but dry them in my dehydrator, it has flat rectangular trays, fantastic.
Thx for your vid, it was great
Thanks!
Thanks for this-I have tried avocado dying several times, with very uneven results. Sometimes I get a gorgeous pink, but I have also got a pinkish brown. I bet it had something to do with how much skin versus pit I had, and I did not put them in the oven but only air dried them. Your experiments were really informative. Also, kudos to your amazing cameraman!
Thanks so much!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Best tutorial ever, Kate!!!
Love the bloopers at the end too!! lol
And thanks to both your dad and your mom-in-law!!
Yay! You are so welcome. I'm so glad I have such great help.
This is the first ever avocado dyed paper tutorial I have seen. You are a fantastic tutor and you have inspired me to give this a try. I hope to watch many more of your videos from now. Thank you Kate.
Thank you so much!
Love the avocado dyed paper! It just amazes me how a green skin makes pink dye!
I know right? It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm so glad it does!
Thanks SO MUCH, Kathy!!! I will try that! I've never imagined that 🥑 could turn paper pink colors! It sounds crazy. But after watching your video I just fell in love with it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥑🥑🥑😍🌹
Have fun!
Very thorough. Thanks for all the research.
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks! 💖
Thanks for the demo, I wondered how it was done!
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely! Thank you for the wonderful video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, as always😉, but I don't feel the need to start avocado dying paper just now. However, I'll know which video to refer to when I do! Thanks for this!
Hugs from Germany🤗♥️
Thanks! No rush, it took me a while to get into it but once you do it's hard to stop!
Hiya Kate new subscriber, followed you from Betty’s Channel after seeing the Flippy Foldy Thingy. Awesome tutorial video, I really enjoyed seeing the results of your experiments! Many thanks to your Dad for the great filming too!
Awesome! Thank you!
I made avocado paper today. Love the pink! I did copy paper, dollies, index cards, and some ribbon. So easy. Thanks for the detailed step-by-step.
Yay! 💖🙌
Love this!!
I did not know you could do that, so cool.
I know who would have thought avocados turned pink!? But I'm glad they do because it's so pretty!
I love all your videos!! I keep telling my peeps to come and follow you!! 😍😍😍
Thanks! You're the best!
THANKS! I tried this with the information I had at the time and was really disappointed with the results. I can see from your video where I went wrong and I'm now looking forward to trying again. Your results were really pretty.
Yay I’m so glad! 💖
Thanks for the tips, very helpful.
Yay! I'm so glad!
Great instructions. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou for your hard work.🌸
No problem 😊
Great video! Love the addition of your M-N-Law's comments.
Thanks! She's the best isn't she?
This was very helpful, thank you very much!!
You're very welcome!
That was fun!!! Next time guacamole sounds good, I'll have to avocado dye some paper as well...Thank you for sharing your technique with us :-) A wonderful day to all!!!!
Thanks!
TFS! I love making avocado dyed paper. Only biy avocados when they are on sale.
It’s so fun isn’t it? 💖
You are fabulous! Thank you for this video!! I’m now a follower!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
You are such a joy!
I've been wondering how you got your papers so pink.
I now know what I did wrong.
Thanks,Kate!!!
Thanks! I'm so glad!
I can't wait to try this!
Have fun!
You really do explain everything really well. I love your personality.
Thank you so much!
I am going to try to brew up my dye in the slow cooker. I love avocado dyed paper...let's be honest...I love paper. Thanks for another great video.
That's a good idea! Thanks!
You're so fun! 😀😀😀
😊 thank you
Great job on teaching this method. I have coffee dyed but I’d like to see your version. Love so much your style and cute personality. Thanks for the smiles!
I'll have to do a coffee dying one sometime. Maybe that'll put my ph stripes to good use lol.
Thank you for your clear instructions on how to avocado dye papers! Want to do this soon . Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
You are an absolute delight
Thank you so much!
Thank you. You covered just about everything I can think of. Nice crunchy papers! I was wondering if we had to use the oven. I have some skins I was saving to do this. I didn't realize you use the pits too! I was going to plant them! It's too hot to use the oven right now. I may put them in the sun. I may just use the pink die I purchased!! I may do both! Thank you. I learned a lot.
I’m glad it was helpful! I hope you try it!
Thanks for taking the time to show us your technique 😊
My pleasure 😊
So kool looking!!
Thanks!
Great tutorial. I have never tried dying paper but you made it look easy. I just don’t know if I have the patience.
Thanks! It does take a bit of time, but once you get the hang of it it's easy to multi task and do laundry/house cleaning while you're doing it.
I haven't tried avocado dyed paper, but I've put my dry coffee dyed paper between my mattress and box springs for a while. Put them in a large manila envelope or something first.
That's a good idea!
Thank you so much for showing the difference in color between the pit and skin of the avocado. I like the pit color better and will be trying this today. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I love that you did the PH strip test. The color is just fantastic and thank you for sharing.
Thanks!!
Thank you sharing this information! I have been waiting for a good tutorial on avocado dying!

I see I’m a bit late to find your channel.😮. Question: are some of the “other” pages glossy pages(have floral) if so how did you find they work for dye baths? Nice description and share. Thank you
Thank you for this video. I was wondering how to dye the paper with avocado and what color it would become.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m definitely going to try this - I love guac so that’s really a plus!
Yay! Have fun! And yes guac makes any day a good day
You are the most fun! I love your videos, you make me smile and laugh. I have done some silly things (boo-boos) in all my journal making endeavors. You have some pretty neat ideas. Keep them coming! I also watch your mother-in-law. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
