Hey Diane! Girl you got this figured out and I would also like to see the finished dried papers, thanks for sharing this process and I'm still going to try doing file folders with this method. Happy Valentines Day!
I just scored a readers digest book from good well and a bird book I been wanting, both was $3 dollars well worth it, since they are hard to come by now that people are doing more crafting these days. I will try dyeing the way you just did because I am in need of those diyed coffee papers so I will be diying paper tomorrow on a Sunday tfs. In His Grace Lorisa
All I can say is more power to you! I liked seeing you do the individual sheets but I doubt I'll try this. I would probably take the grid paper out of the book and do the pages separately. I loved watching you do this because you always do such a great job but not me! "You might start a fire." You said that in such a matter of fact way that I really had to laugh. No Reader's Digest books lying around. I actually just ordered one from Diane H. so I can make an altered book from it. I never see them in the thrift stores here.
Haha! I did start a fire once, lol. My husband absolutely hates it when I coffee dye papers. He says it smells so bad. I try to do it when he isn't home, but can't always. I have a bunch of RD books. I found a ton at an estate sale once. If you ever need one, just let me know and I will hook you up girl!!
@@shawcraft1 that's so cool! I really love it too, that's why I asked. Mine never turns green no matter what colour lined paper I dye. It looks awesome 😍💜
I did this one time with not the grid paper one but a regular composition notebook ....the only thing I didn't like was when that dye comes off of the lines it makes your coffee green and your pages8 are mostly green so it didn't match LOL but I used most of the papers in my Armymom junk Journal it was the perfect color. 😆
That is my favorite thing about dying papers, or even spraying the papers with water. It’s the lines bleeding all around the page. I absolutely adore the effect.
I have that happen too, but I love the green so I don't mind it. I know some people find papers that don't fade like this, but I've never been able to find any that doesn't so I guess it's a hit and miss kind of thing. If I ever find any that doesn't fade the lines, I will definitely let y'all know what it is! tfw
The best composition books you can find are on Amazon. Oxford brand are absolutely great. The paper is excellent. The DT composition books are made out of recycled paper that will not take soaking very well.
Those pages will be so crispy and crinkly, I LOVE IT!
Thank you! tfw
I'd love to see the finished, dried pages + make something out of them.
Definitely!!! More videos to come my friend! tfw
I would love to see the final results. Great technique!
Coming soon! tfw
Great tutorial Diane! Thank you for this Series on coffee dyeing! Big Hugs & Blessings!!💗💗 Happy Valentines Day!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you sweet friend! Happy Valentine's Day and Big Hugs and Blessings to you doll!
Fun watching you playing in the coffee!! Looks like a good way to do it.
Haha! Yes, it is. But my fingernails will have to be cut off now because they are coffee dyed lol
Great idea Diane!! I've never dyed a whole book at once~way to go! I love using a deep tote, it contains All the mess! Thank you for sharing! 🥰👭
I agree with Jan Sands. How about a video where you take one of these dried pages and make something. ❤️ Loved this video.
Coming soon! I will definitely do that! tfw
Hey Diane!

Oh! I should have done some file folders, shoot! Great idea. I will do those next time. Happy Valentines day honey!! Big Hugs
Great process! Much easier than one at a time! Fun! 💗
It really is! tfw
Great way to do it !! Thank you
I like to sprinkle a bit of instant coffee granules on the wet pages to create interesting spits
Absolutely! They make for very interesting pages with the granules! tfw
Great ideas to do it quicker
Can you please post what the pages look like after they are dried? And of course projects you use them in? TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Yes of course! I will be making a journal with these so you will see them soon! tfw!

Yay! I'm so glad you found the books you love. They are hard to come by now! Happy coffee dyeing!
I would like to see more.

That's really cool 😍 why's your paper turning green in places though?
It's usually because of the ink from the lined pages. It gives it a bit of a green tint, but I love it because it reminds me of "patina"

I got it at the Dollar General store. I'm sorry if I said DT. I always get them confused. Thanks doll! tfw
The ones from Amazon ... do the lines fade? I've been looking for some that the lines don't fade!
