quick tip: I take very slightly moist used black tea bags and dab the paper all around to give a textured and discolored look.
Nice
PerfectTangent Yeah. I do the same thing. 😉
I'm taking you to court.
i add cinnamon in the coffee and dry it in oven they smell lovely
Great idea, i used to to it with only water when i was a kid.
Just make it wet and let it dry, then roll it up (tight) and lit both ends and blow it out immediately to have a 'treasure map' look.
Def going to try this with tea too, thanks!
Kapski NL saaaaaaaame I loved making treasure maps...ahh childhood was super fun
I used to do that too I loved how old paper looked
I used to make those treasure maps to that way, what a blast from the past.
You were creative lmao i just crumpled a piece of paper when i created treasure maps
AWESOME! This will be GREAT for my Book of Shadows... thank you!
What's it about of I may ask
That's why I'm watching this video too!!!
Yandere Chan it’s witchcraft👍
SAAME Hahahha
@@yanderechan4209a Book of Shadows is the name some witches call their personal journals or where they write about their craft.
This is just what i have been looking for, my daughter writes short stories [manga] and this old paper look method will look great in an old looking wooden book/binder ive made. Thanks for this video and the time you put into it
we call that cheese clothe in texas. muslin is tighter weave and used in quilting. loved your video. thanks
Making stuff like antique books or aging paper is really nice because anyone can do it and it's really easy to do.If you are like me i love antiques and old objects so this video is really good.
I wanted to tell you that I followed your instructions and I love how my papers came out! I’ve never tea dyed before. Thank you for your great tutorial!
It's 9 o'clock. I'm supposed to be studying for history finals. instead I'm watching how to tea dye paper. what the hell.
😂😂😂😂😂
omg same it's 9:00 and I should be doing hw but oh well lol
Shrek Trump b same but its 11:00 xD
Shrek Trump its 10:30 and im right now lying in my bed. Mom and dad are having dinner downstairs and im watching this.
Haha! I'm supposed to be finishing my assignments, instead I am dyeing paper!😂😂
This will work perfectly for a d&d prop grimoire!! Thank you! :)
I wanted to do this for a school project. It came out wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thanks for tips on vintage style paper using tea dye. I can't wait to try it myself.
You explained it all really clearly. Cheers!
I did the same thing but with dark coffee and I microwaved it on a flat plate that fit the patter for 30-60 seconds and it came out the same!
Blueberry spicehead it was to flat
Appa!
🦁🦁
Nice, I'll be doing this with coffee. I love vintage looking stuff and I'm 28 i don't know really anyone my age who lies the same as myself same with genealogy. Thanks for this I'll definitely be giving this a go :)
Thank you. I enjoyed this short tutorial. It was easy & straight to the point.
this was very helpful for my daughters school project.I highly recommend this video!!!
farina SHARIF did u right before aging the papers or after doing so?......cuz i also want to use it for the project😁
hey there, from another Aussie, I havent got a clue about the difference between cheese cloth and muslin, so
I'm just gonna use tea bags! LOL
but i do have a question through hun, does the tea make the paper smell? And do yout hink it would be a nice adition to spray the paper while wet with some fav purfume so when it dries it smells pretty?

I've tea dyed fabric before, using a French Vanilla flavoured tea, and it smelled real pretty for awhile. Regular tea seemed to have a neutral smell. Haven't tried paper yet though.
It does smell slightly of tea but after a few weeks you don't smell it again so you could spray them.
If you have a Spotlight in your area, go there and ask for muslin used for cooking and they will give you the right stuff. It is about $2/m
StampinStuff01 ~ Is it also referred to as "Cheesecloth"? Thank you too for sharing your experience & knowledge because it's much appreciated.
+Lily Fultz It depends on what type of cheesecloth you can get in your area. I'm in Canada, and the cheesecloth I've found has a very loose weave so the tea leaves would go right through it. As +Handmade by Diana suggested, tea bags would work fine as well. Any fabric that will allow the liquid to go through but stop the tea leaves. A fine strainer would also work. Hope this helps!
A couple people have already asked this in the comments below. You will need to test it and see what works best but maybe try dying it and crinkling it then use an iron to flatten it back out so it runs through the printer. That will make it flat but you will still have an aged crinkle look.
Thank you so much! I am using tea stained paper for my NHD project and this really helped!
It must also smell amazing.
I am so jealous of your blue heathen! I could only find pink ones. Nice, easy to follow tutorial, tyfs :)
Thank you so much, i was having a hard time coming up with a creative scrapbook idea for my summer reading for history, this is perfect
I am putting the paper first then poring tea over it. This prevents bubles. Also if you pour tea in between you can put as much as paper you want on top of the others. Putting things with a nice smell while tea brews is a good way to make scented papers. I sometimes hang the papers to cloth line to dry, but when i soak too much paper in tea, i just lay them to our balcony floor. I need lots of paper since i make notebooks. And i mostly use regular a4 paper.
I find spraying the sheets individually, gives a lovely authentic, dappled effect. Also, add a couple of drops of essential oil to the mix, to stop any 'lurgy' developing.
Hey, this is a very informative video! I was wondering if you could send the paper through a printer to be printed on and what the effects of the tea did to the inking process. Would you have to print it off first then do the tea procedure or do you soak the paper then print it? Thank you!!
in the USA its called cheese cloth not muslin- just so people know
Gwen Mangelson no, it's muslin for sure. I buy it all of the time.
jessica jordan I live in a different part of the U.S and its called cheese cloth here so..
Then you can say "well where I live it is called this" instead of saying it's not called muslin
But we both did that
Gwen Mangelson I've heard both muslin and cheese cloth (cheese cloth from family and others and muslin from my fabric arts class)
Hey there!! Really well done!! I tried it and it worked perfectly!! I just needed 13 Tea bags but it worked very well!! Really cool~!! thnks much~
This is the best tea dying video I've seen!
I have a question, if I were to not crinkle the paper, would it turn out flat? I have books that were soaked by water once and they became all wrinkly. It would be nice to have brown paper instead of plain white paper for once. Lovely tutorial.
New subscriber...loved this idea a lot...looking for ideas found your channel...new to Journaling as well...looking for to try this out..thank you...love from India...
Teabags are fun to dribble too to get more splotches and textured paper.
Great tutorial. One thing, in the U.S., the material you used is called cheese cloth. Muslin is much more closely woven here.
you got a new subscriber!!! ive been wanting to make a cool journal for years!!!!
Actually Muslin isn't used in cooking that would be cheesecloth and its a totally different fabric, cheesecloth is a cotton loosely woven fabric used for draining cheeses and straining things in cooking and also for wiping down cars. You cannot make garments from cheesecloth it is like a gauze bandage only bigger.
Muslin is a tightly woven cotton fabric that was in the old days know as "sheeting". Muslin was the common peoples cloth of choice for garments and bedding. It was most often kept in its natural pale beige state and you can sometimes see dark brown flecks in the cloth an bumps from the weaving.
Muslin is what we call it in Australia. Cheesecloth in Australia is tightly woven and wouldn't work for this.
Some people have trouble with the concept that there are other countries in the world where people might call things different names, don't they? Thanks for the video! Sorry for all the dumb comments.
Tonia Samples woo u possess lot of info rgarding
This is actually one of the best tea dying videos I've seen...Thanks:D
what about staining the pages of a sketch book without having to tear them out? i'm making a replica of a journal from the cartoon Gravity Falls and i want to make the pages look old, like they are in the show, but don't know how to stain them without taking them out of the bindings.
you could pour the tea solution onto the pages of the book and wait for it to dry that way
Doodle Bags Gravity Falls is AWESOME!! Would love to see your finished project. Good luck! :)
***** i'm acually doing a tutorial on how i made it. :D will be in two parts. part one will be the outside of the book and part two will be the inside. part one is almost done. just gotta paint the back and get a few things glued onto it.
***** so yeah. that will be up on my channel soon. i'm rooting for sometime next week. :)
Sweet!
You may need to experiment. You could try dying them then ironing it flat so that you can then print on it and scrunching it again after. Some inks or toner might run once wet too so you might want to check that if you try printing first and dying second.
Hi StampinStuff I was wondering where you could put the paper when your done, like do you get binding or is there a way to make a binding, I just need some tips. This is awesome please respond!
thanks you so much i actially did the tea and also coffe but with the coffe i followed the same technique how you did with the coffe but insteade i added coffe and right now iam drying it i actually needed to age the paper for my social.studies project wich is due on monday well..... once again THANK YOU SO MUCH
BYE
If i want the paper to be strait and not crumpled do i just leave it to dry without crumpling it?
Sorry if my spelling is wrong inglish is my second language ☺️
Fantyan ! Yes
i use a solution of coffee and acrylic paint to give paper an Oxydated look, but im going to be trying tea as well. good vid
We did this but before putting them in the tea we burnt the edges to make them look more treasure map like we also tried putting some coconut oil on our hands and rubbed the paper they turned out pretty cool
Awesome video! I'm creating some "creepy" documents to hang up for Halloween, and this was really helpful! :D
Great video. Does the paper hold up well? Thanks.
Thanks ...... I'm gonna use that for my project
Hi Elaine, yes, in Australia, printer paper is just copy paper. Just the inexpensive stuff you buy from shops in reams.
Thanks so much for making this easy to follow tutorial! I appreciate it! :-)
Ha I'm making the gravity falls book.
I want to too
so am I!
Good idea
For me is a book of shadows. The gravity falls book is awesome idea
Paintings_jsl yes!! Four years later after posting this comment, and I’m into witchcraft now haha. I was 11 when I made this!
You may need to experiment but I expect so. Just don't scrunch it while it is wet or if you do, run over it with an iron to flatten it out again but still leave the lines where the scrunches used to be.
Thanks for making this a simple process 💕
Can this be done with pre-printed paper? ..or would the ink run? This is a cool idea. Thanks.
I have successfully used tea to dye fabric, but not paper. What do you mean by printer paper. Is it the same as copy paper? As I am from England I wondered if it is just a case of terminology, or is there a difference in the thickness.
I like the screwed-up effect and think it would also look good once inked over to pick up another colour.
Thank you for sharing. x
the best that is done with tea ... thak you 4 sharing.. !!!!!!!
Yes, pretty much. They just just don't blow as hard as a hair drier. You can also just let them dry naturally.
I like the binder you show in the thumbnail for this video, do you remember the name of it or where to purchase one? thank you.
People refer to it as different things. Cheesecloth in Australia is quite different and a lot thicker. Australian cheesecloth wouldn't work for this application.
Should you always do this BEFORE writing on the paper, or is it possible to tea-stain paper which has been written on and the ink is well dried (ie. several weeks old)?
Thankyou for uploading this now I can make my own pages neat and make a new book over for them ^ ^ so it be awesome
So glad I found your channel! Great share! yay!
Can you do this with ink on it before or will it just fade away?
i love your little blue and green tickets said 'joy' or 'bliss' with the bird on them . where did you find it ? is there any chance can i find it online ? please let me know !
My paper smells like coffee😍I love the smell
I usually do it while it is warm. It gets a bit of a skin on the top when it gets really cold.
what would happen if i used a cardstock or a printed paper???thanks,and great tutorial btw.it helped me a lot with my history project >.
I have some pomegranate tea I'm thinking of using to give the paper a bit of a pink-ish tinge. Think that will work?
I'm not sure how this would go Natalia because the pages are likely to stick together and stick. If I put too many pieces in one bowl and there isn't space between each sheet it ends up not dying or leaving blank spots.
StampinStuff01 i saw another video where she slowly added each sheet, then more brewed tea then more paper until she had a roaster full. She dried hers on cookie sheets in the oven, low temp a few minutes. Then she ironed them! Sounds like a day's project, but then it is done. It can be done, just carefully.
If you where making a book, do you dye the paper before you print your text or after? If I was making about 20 sheets how many tea bags should I use and what kind of tea bags? Is it possible to use water color paper?
Can you dye more than one sheet at a time, as in popping 5 sheets into the tea all at once?
Yes, if your surface is larger you can. As long as you dont put the sheets over one another, because it'll be really difficult to get them out without ripping them if they're stuck together :). Put them in a larger container maybe so that you can put them next to each other without worrying about them touching each other ❤🦋
After the paper drys will it still be flexible?
after doing this, do you think its possible to play with the paper? i mean because i'd like to make paper roses but i also want that old feel to the paper so i was thinking of doing this first and then shaping the paper into paper roses. would it work or would it break easily?
You can reuse the liquid tea water right..? and will it smell like tea??
What if you scrunch the paper first? Maybe it would have more effect in the creases.
no need to soak it, Use teabgas, make your tea with tea bags leave to brew until just warm, then ring out tea bag and wipe over the paper until covered turn over and repeat, use a peg to hang on a string line to dry or use a heat gun or hairdryer Look more medieval if you tear down each side to make the edge uneven, before you start. If making for a journal, you could dye all pages then put together and cut each edge with bread knifen but be careful you dont cut yourelf. UK tea may be stronger than elswhere. This method seems to leave the pages crinkly with out ctumbling them first
The ink might run. If you want to ink it after you could try ironing the page first to make it flat again and then giving it a little scrunch after you have inked it.
So thats wat i did wrong. My tea was too light colored. I made a small apothacary shelf an i dyed my tiny scrolls but they were very light.i need darker tea it seems. Wat is the best tea flavor to use to get a nice old look with??
Coffee worked for me as well and I think it colored a bit faster. I think it's another option..
Well thank you for this tip, it helped me on my journal! :D
a question about the printer paper is it acid free?
and I always crinkle my paper or fabric before I tea dye it- been tea dying for about 32 years now
Can I use any tea flavour? :) Love this video ♥
Once it's dried, will I be able to make it into a cone shape ?
If the paper is printed on will the ink bleed while dying the paper? Asking for a friend
I wrinkle them before dying and do about 20 at a time in a big A3 container. I do a few hundred a day and dry them in the sun on newspaper.
I am working on something with my little one, and we are looking for this type of an effect, the problem is that we need to printout his essay on it first as the crinkled paper wouldnt go through the printer itself, any tips on how to not lose the ink from the printouts?
can i use my printer after i dye the paper?
Yea I think so
old is gold
thank you for sharing your techniques.
If you have a drawing on it with like a pen would the drawing wash off or fade when you put it in tea?
I found that putting in out on a windy day cam help with the crikles
I noticed you have a different type of binding on your book, can you tell us how it's done?
Does the tea have to be hot or warm? or is it supposed to be cooled?
should i also add sugar and put lemon crumpets on the side?
I have no idea. I just dyed them. It will take 10 minutes to do some test pieces and wont cost much so try it out.
when would be the best time to write on the paper before? or after?
I can't link to videos but have a look on my channel for a video called Vintage Journal. That is a tutorial on how I bind them into a book.
Can you stain the paper after writing on it or will the ink go everywhere?
If I were to use the tea BAG method how many bags do i us?
looks great mine don't come out very dark
It Worked Brilliantly Thanks!!!!
That is printer paper. Which is very very thin.
I am using drawing paper, about 2.5-3 printer paper sheets thick.
What should I expect?
I understand that with dyeing comes expanding so it will get thicker, right?
this was really helpful to me
